Change Your Life with Gratitude

Message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret.
***
The greatest thief of human happiness and abundance is ungratefulness. Any lack in our lives - whether in money, health, or relationships - is simply the evidence of a lack of gratitude. If you focus on lack you are not being grateful, and that will bring more lack into your life. Yet the simple state of radiating gratitude summons everything to you.

No matter who you are or where you are, you can change your life with gratitude, but you must feel it with your whole heart and radiate it from every cell. Gratitude is not a mental exercise, and in fact, if you simply use your mind for gratitude it will have little or no power. True gratitude comes from your heart! You must think gratitude through your heart, speak gratitude through your heart, and feel it intensely in your heart.


Then practice gratitude relentlessly. As you practice gratitude you will attract more thoughts and feelings of gratitude. In a short time your entire being will be saturated with it, and you will experience a happiness that is beyond what you can imagine. This is what is ahead for you when you choose gratitude as your way of life. And if you can really live in this highest state of gratitude, you will never have to ask for anything. Everything you want will be given to you before you even ask, because gratitude is the magnetic substance that opens every single door in the Universe.

"Y" Talk


An economic crisis is the most complex situation to deal with. It is natural tendency for most of the people to enter into a defensive attitude when things go wrong to help them to survive. To generate a counter cyclical behaviour it is necessary to enter into the cycle of action.

We have decided to take action to reach out to our market place during this turbulent time. Hence the “Y” talk was born.

It took only two weeks to organize the event once we have decided to go ahead. With the “Y” team in action, we managed to bring together 35 clients and closed to 60 participants in the early morning of 5th November 2008.

The participants were punctual and the attendance was almost 95% from the list that promised to attend. The interaction was good and lots of “Y” energy floating.


What is this “Y” talk?

It was a talk presenting our findings on the behaviour of the coming generation; that is the Gen Y. It is a research based on the findings on about 200 Gen Y using our proprietary profiling tool. What made the talk different was it is data driven. It is based on an objective assessment instead of subjective observation or interview.

Interesting insights were noted from the research, as this group of future leaders is quite different from us. Gen Y is known to have high energy, high motivation and positive self esteem. If they are well led, they can bring lots of “Y’ energy into the work environment.

In addition to the findings from the research, the experience sharing from the participants further kept the energy floating in the room.

With those unique behaviors in mind, we had provided some “tips” on how to lead and create an environment that can help to attract and retain Gen Y in the organization.

Positive feedbacks on the “Y” talk were received from participants and some of them are into action mode and had invited us to meet up to look at areas we can assist them

We are glad to have taken the counter cyclical action in this turbulent time to bring value to our clients.
