Thanksgiving and Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving; a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude… Love is Gratitude in Action
Isn’t it strange that we need an actual holiday to remind us to be thankful?
I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as ‘Thanksgiving’. However, wherever you are in the world, please accept my gratitude as you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you .
I know that at this time of year you’re probably pretty busy however, I think you will see that by investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.
No matter what country you are living in, right now, let me ask you to be honest and answer this question:
How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?
I’m sure you’ve noticed that very day there seems to be a million new things to do, every day it can seem difficult to slow down enough so you can catch a little down time. Maybe you turn on the TV to unwind, only to once again be assaulted with the news of doom and gloom.
Most of the time, most people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.
The result is that most people are running on empty!
So, in a crazy hectic world what can we do to fill up a little?
Right now let me challenge you to STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.
There is a wonderful ‘new’ movement of interest in manifestation.
Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop, my podcasts or in a tele-program: Quantum Resonance energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation. Well, one of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is gratitude.
Okay, you need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because by gratitude I mean genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection. In other words, delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory…”thanks“.
Recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it does not have to be built on guilt or the complacency of ; ‘I don’t have the right to ask for more, I’m so much better off than those less fortunate’.
Genuine appreciation can come from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted; the smile on a child’s face as they say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ to you.
Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing. Being able to breath and smelling the flowers or even coffee.
How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do. Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you. Receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.
I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:
This Thanksgiving and everyday, I am grateful for you… Yes, I am talking to you!
If you’ve been following my work at all you already know that I have a dream…
My dream is to raise consciousness. Now you may be saying; “what the heck does that mean?”
Raising consciousness means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that they are truly powerful, that you have the power to create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.
I am truly grateful to you because through you I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission. You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice
out into the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose. I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!
I am grateful to you…You, who are committed to growth. You, who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You, who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.
I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.
Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos, testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute.
I love taking the time to read and hear them all. They are all fuel in my tank to keep going.
Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can raise the consciousness of this magnificent planet.
Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka.
Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.
Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter, you have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled…thank you!
May I suggest that once a year, maybe right now:
Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.
Once you have done that, I would suggest that you go and buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss written words).
Someone said to me once “it must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives”. My reply was and still is that it is wonderful, however, what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.
Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.
I look forward to meeting you for the first time or seeing you again soon.
Remember; nothing can crush you unless you allow it…
Aspire to greatness for that is your true nature!
Your value far outweighs your circumstances.
With my love and sincere gratitude,
Dõv…
P.S. I look forward to reading your comments and feedback.
