How to get what you want? - Attitude of Gratitude

Here comes the very important step in the series of articles for How to get what you want (See the previous articles in this series: Desire is the key, Do you really want it?)! :  Attitude of Gratitude

As given in the previous articles, when you want something to happen, you need to have deep desire for it. Allow yourself to desire what you need completely wholeheartedly without any doubt or fear or negative emotion. Do not let any sort of negative feelings to come on your way. Trust the universal life force energy and allow it to work for you. The supreme power will manifest your desire at the right time.

When you desire something with deep intensity, also feel that you already have got it. Feel that you already own what you wanted. Feel the sense of fulfillment and joy within you. Most importantly thank the universal life force energy for having given you what you want. Your sense of fulfillment is itself an expression of gratitude. So, feel satisfied about your achievement. Feel fulfilled and joy! You really have to feel as much fulfilled as though you have really got what you want.

You might ask, how can I feel fulfilled when I have not got it in reality. When you really feel fulfilled without raising any doubt, you truly surrender and trust the universal prana for achieving your goal. This trust in the universal life force energy will manifest what you desire even without you knowing it or you consciously taking any effort. When your desire is so deep, you will feel really fulfilled. When you feel fulfilled, you are showing your sense of gratification to the universal cosmos. And this attitude of gratitude is the link with divinity. It works like magic! Again, there is no point in just merely saying thank. You have to feel it in your heart!

The feeling of trust coming out of surrender is a positive energy which amplifies your desire and thought vibrations which will work through to create circumstances for you to manifest your dreams as reality.

When you feel satisfied that you have already got it, you will naturally forget about it. Because we don't worry about things that we have got. And that is perfectly right. You should forget about it. (Please note that even though you forget about it, your desire for the same is still alive) Do not keep worrying when it will come or how it will come. When you lay complete trust in God, you wont question Him! If such doubts come to you, then just go back. Start from the beginning: Allow yourself to desire it wholeheartedly and then feel that you already own it and thank God for the same.

You really need not know how it will be manifested. Our logical brain is too small to know the mysteries behind the law of universe. It cannot understand how things work in the cosmic realm. If you try to know answers for each and every question, then your goals will never be achieved. If you will learn to drive a car only after knowing all the mechanics of car, how long will it take for you to start driving? Trust in God (or the samashti prana or the universal life force energy) and leave the "how" and "when" to it. When you felt fulfilled and gratified, you already surrendered everything to God. So, why go back to square once again? Forget it and it will happen automatically.

When you surrender completely, things will be taken care of by the divine will. Your will becomes one with the divine will and you don't need to exert in any way to manifest the goal.

Once again revisiting the concepts explained in the previous posts of the series, the very ability to desire means the ability to be joyous. Desire indicates that God wants to act through you for something. So, there is nothing wrong about desire. Desire is a positive emotion. Allow the desire to unleash through you. Feel it! Acknowledge it. Then feel as though you already have got it. Feel completely fulfilled and joyous and thank God for what you got. Thank wholeheartedly and forget about the how and when questions. Things will happen automatically and circumstances will be created automatically to manifest your desires.

In case you stopped desiring because you did not get what you want, then allow the desire to flow through you once again - with the same intensity or even more. Feel the happiness or satisfaction of having it already and thank God for what you have got. The divine energy takes care of manifesting it through the right means at the right time and at the right place for you. The trust and surrender which comes through the attitude of gratitude is most important to achieve what you want.
