Think Create - Leon Grey's Blog

I have two words for you, “thank you”.  When is the last time you said these words and meant it, I mean REALLY meant it? Thank you.

I learned last year in 2006, why I was not moving forward on my path to financial abundance.  My mentor pointed it out to me blatantly one day when he said, “Leon you are not grateful for what you have now, how can you expect more good things to come to you”.

When I was growing up as a young boy when ever I achieved something or got an A in a school report, my mother would say, ” thats good Leon, but wheres the A+?”  Now 20+ years later on I have realised that I had been conditioned by my mother not to be grateful for all the fantastic experiences and material things I have now. 

The one thing that I am truely grateful for is my ability to look at myself and understand why I feel and do the things I do.  It’s called self awareness, everyone has this ability but a good majority choose not to do anything with it.

I am now so grateful for everything that I have in my life.

• I love my partner even more, she is my rock and she keeps me in grounded when I get over passionate
• I am grateful for my mother, who cares so much for me, and I realise I dont say, ” I love you” or give her enough hugs and kisses.
• I am grateful for all my different mentors, who have guided me to where I am today
• I am incredibly grateful for my friends who have kept me focused on my path to abundance
• I am grateful for living in this great country of Australia, where food and water and employment is abundant and we have a government that is true to the people.  We are truely the lucky country

There is so much more I am grateful about, but I think you get the message.

Another part of being grateful is to give back.  Since my talk with my mentor I have sponsored two Peruvian children through World Vision, I dontate to charities that “shake the tin”, and most importantly I give my time to charities that need help distributing food etc.

When you give back through charity you are telling the universe that you have more than enough and the universe will answer and in turn it will give you more than enough.  Gratitude is the true path to abundance in all forms includng wealth, health and spirituality.

Today is the 1st of January 2008. I ask you to think about last year and what moments in 2007 that you are grateful for and what you are going to do this year to show your gratitude.

To all my readers I wish you abundance for 2008

   Hey Leon,

   Koong Hee Fatt Choi to the both of you. I so agree with what you said up there, especially about the bit about growing up and focusing on what you did not achieve rather than the opposite. Sometimes you do wonder whether too much education is a good thing when you start thinking a certain way and not be left free to think for yourself. When you speak to an entrepreneur, let us know …

   Take care,
