Over the past 2 years I have been a student of the Law of Attraction .   I’ve enjoyed applying the Law of Attraction in my marketing and business.  In fact, I believe that long-lasting success stems from applying the Law of Attraction in our marketing, business relationships, and life.

If one thing is certain in any one’s journey to entrepreneurship it is that an individual’s mindset affects his/her destination and outcome.  What we focus on expands and our life moves in the direction of our predominant focus.   I choose to predominantly focus on growth, education, and relationship building.

I also consciously study my habits and thought patterns (this hasn’t come easy - I grew into developing this sense over months’ practice).  And I have also adopted effective tools to attract more of what I deserve and desire.

One of my favorite tools to attracting more in my life came from the movie, "The Secret ."  My husband, Luis, and I learned the importance of expressing our gratitude, for everything we presently have, in applying the Law of Attraction in our lives.

Several times a week I write all the things I am grateful for in a "gratitude journal" and the more I am grateful, the more I attract in my life.

Interestingly enough, I have found an even stronger tool to attract more abundance in my business and personal life, and that is expressing my appreciation .

Now you might ask what’s the difference?  Appreciation vs. Gratitude?

Isn’t it the same?

My new friend Maran Banta , and I discussed this a few days ago.  It so happens Maran and her husband David attended an Esther and Jerry Hicks (or Abraham-Hicks ) presentation and David asked this very question.

The essence of it is in a YouTube Video I am including here for your viewing pleasure.

As best I can describe it, appreciation is a feeling on the scale of love, it encompasses gratitude.  When you are appreciating something or someone you attach the emotion to the word gratitude and you ATTRACT more when you appreciate as opposed to when you are just grateful.

Next time you are about to say "Thank You" simply replace the words with "I appreciate you" and you’ll make the person feel so much nicer than if you would have simply given them thanks.
