Coffee Break?

A gentle reminder landed in my mailbox today...World Gratitude begins tomorrow.   I love this site for many reasons but, of course, one ofthe obvious being their credo...."We trust in providence, and whole-heartedly believe in the Law of Gratitude - that what you put out returns to you . . . and even greater. As so, World Gratitude is a community-supported endeavor, catalyzing a collective shift from an obligation economy to an Appreciation Economy." 

The best would have to be the nine agreements.  A simple, easy way of living, conducting one's self and life, not just getting the most of out this journey for ourselves but perhaps lightening and lighting the path for others.  No-one is born with less than a heart and soul wishing good for themselves.  May sound selfish but I believe we have to beging there...for what we wish for ourselves we can't possibly wish less than for others.  Start with the person whom you see in the mirror each morning and from there it can only reach out outwards.  Forget "perfection"...the only perfection existing is the perfection that is, that you are, whatever that may be at this very moment.  It isn't always easy to live those agreements, I know...but if we don't do the best we can with what we have how can we do better.    And it's exhilirating, amazing to find when one strives to live in and with gratitude how much easier life becomes.  This is also from the world gratitude website and, for me, one of the most meaningful.  The website link can be found at the end of this post.

As we envision our emerging world, we feel a Standard of Excellence is vital to our collective success, laying the foundation for harmonious relations. Through experience, we've come to recognize that a standard of personal excellence precedes magic, miracles, serendipity, synchronicity, and personal and global transformation.

As stewards of the World Gratitude Gathering, it is our commitment to you, and everyone who participates, to create the space for heaven to shine through, thus reflecting the highest quality experience for everyone involved. We believe that such a space is made possible as we each agree to the following 9 Agreements prior to participation in the World Gratitude Gathering.

As a member of the World Gratitude Gathering, I agree to the following:

1. I agree that a world of Love and Gratitude begins with me. I choose to be a conscious mirror and model of the change I wish to see in the world.
   
   
2. I agree to consciously set an intention for manifesting something miraculous in my life throughout this process.
   
   
3. I agree to tap into Gratitude on a daily basis and as much as possible in every waking moment. I know that the rewards of doing so flow through and extend beyond me, strengthening the collective field of Gratitude from which we may all derive benefit.
   
   
4. I agree to be a consistently uplifting inspiration in all my interactions in World Gratitude. I commit to see and mirror back the greatness of each soul who crosses my path. I choose to discover and nurture the light within so that it may shine forth to others and magnify their life.
   
   
5. I agree to honor each individual's right to choose their own belief system and life path.
   
   
6. I agree to be open to both give and receive within this community. In all my dealings, I seek win-win, mutually edifying interactions and transactions.
   
   
7. I agree to be my word in my exchanges with others. I realize that my personal influence is magnified to the degree I am able to keep my word with myself and others. If something comes up and I decide to change what I had agreed upon, then I agree to make that communication as soon as possible to the affected party.
   
   
8. I agree to love and enjoy my life as much as possible!
   
   
9. And, last but certainly not least, I agree to be Grateful for ME!
