Who does not thank for little will not thank for much

"Who does not thank for little will not thank for much." ~ Estonian Proverb

How often throughout the day is your mind filled with worry, doubt, frustration, resentment, and complaints? What about at night when it's time to rest, do you count your problems instead of sheep? If so, try counting your blessings instead~ not just the big ones, but the little blessings, too.

All too often, we use every last bit of our mental energy toward worrying about our problems or what we don't have instead of focusing on what we do have. It's no wonder we feel drained half of the time! Even a plant needs sunshine in order to grow! When we focus on what we don't have, that negative energy will persist and by being grateful for even the smallest things, gratitude will transform our perceptions.

So, if you're looking for a reprieve... relax your mind. Start a gratitude journal (if you haven't already!). And, if the journal you do have is covered in dust, it's time to brush it off! Learn how to appreciate the blessings in your life by putting them on paper. Visualize your gratitude. By applying a little optimism to your life you will surely be put on your path to having more gratitude in your attitude!

The Real source of Wealth

What is real wealth?

Where can you find real wealth?

For some people wealth might be having a bank account with over 10 million pounds, whereas for another person true wealth might be a combination of health, a great relationship with family members and money and a large home. So a good starting point would be to define the thing that wealth means to you. You could also say that wealth is found in a wealthy state of mind, and a sense of well-being might be thought to be one of the attributes of a wealthy person.

Well it was found following a study of self-made millionaire that people who tended to attract wealth thought in a certain way and did certain things in certain ways. One of the things that were found is that people who tended to attract wealth are very clear about the things they want, and may write a plan to achieve the things that they desire to achieve. Also you could find that they have a positive attitude and tend to look for solutions rather than focusing on the problems that they face. Another trait could be concentrating on the task that they are currently doing, and determination to succeed even if they fail a number of times first. But a key point could be that people who are wealthy may tend to have success attributes.

FREE Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro Sample

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sometimes things look great on advertisements, but then don't work at all when you use it yourself.  This is NOT one of those things.  Miracle-Gro works!  I use it every single year when I plant my tomato gardens.  I also use it for indoor plants, and even for my flowers outside.  I wouldn't even think of trying to plant my gardens without it.

Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix is the easiest and most effective form of the several Miracl-Gro products, at least in my opinion.

Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro helps to grow up to 3X the flowers and vegetables versus native soil. It significantly improves your soil for multiple years and feeds plants for up to 6 months. Because it is a concentrated mix, Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro expands three times when water is added and holds up to 50% more water than traditional soil due to the absorbent coir fibers that also ensures all water is used efficiently. Whether you are growing in a garden pots or in the ground, Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro Concentrated Planting Mix is formulated to get your plants big and beautiful.

We used Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™  on our tomato garden this year and I have to say that we have yielded more spaghetti sauce this year than ever before due to bigger, fatter and juicer tomatoes. We eat alot of our tomatoes with our summer suppers, but we also use alot for Spaghetti sauce that we eat for the next year.  Our yields have not been great over the last couple of years so we decided to use Miracle-Gro this past year and I am glad that we did.  It was a very easy product to use and was cost effective as well.  We were paid back tenfold with the bigger tomatoes. Tomatoes are about the only thing that we grow, but next year we may decide to plant more with the help of Miracle-Gro.  We did use the hose adapter and that made it easier to use.  My husband and I even fought over who was going to use it first.  He won!  Oh well, it made him happy. I would love to see how a pumpkin would do with this stuff considering the size of some of my tomatoes. Can't wait for next years growing season!

Mindfreak

The imposing performance graduates with my highlight.


I do not know if this is considered as paranormal because it has happened to me quite a number of times. Therefore it is not quite paranormal for me but still I am finding it a little hard to accept.

I saw on TV Mindfreak by Chris Angel and he said that a person can will another person to do some things. He did not specify doing what exactly but what he asked to do is this.

Think of a person (who is still living) who you have not seen or talked for a while. Will that person to call you.

With that he took a strangers (if you have seen his shows, you would know that he took great pains to choose a stranger) phone and asked the stranger who she hadnt been keeping in touch and would like to talk to. She said,'Slone'.

So Chris took her phone and ask another stranger to hold it. Then he asked everyone there to think about Slone and in their minds, ask her to call her friend.

He pointed at the phone and says,'call call call.' He says to feel it in you and ask this person to call. And lo and behold, the phone rang and it was a text message from Slone.

I dont know why it has happened to me now because when I was younger, I remember sitting by the phone waiting for that boy to call and he never did. But now almost everytime I thought of a friend, she will call.

Has this happened to you? It feels like its a coincidence but after watching Chris Angel, I think its true that you have some power to will somebody to do something (something small like call you, okay? Nothing dangerous mind you).

Would you try it and feedback?

on Oprah

I saw happy people.....

I once saw on Oprah an episode where she interviews people who have won million dollar prizes. On that particular show, there was 2 couples and 1 lady.

The thing that was common on these people is they are as happy as can be. The smiles on their faces just cannot seem to fade. They were laughing as they speak to Oprah.

I know that money is not the way to happiness but that is how I feel right now. I am bracing myself to lifes disappointments but now I feel happy.

How do you feel when you get a legit money pot? Of course you will feel happy but can you believe your luck?
