Well this is our second to last week of the MKMMA course. It has been an absolutely life transforming course! I’m truly grateful for the hard work, time, and love that Mark J and the staff have placed into us as students and the course. Especially for the scholarships they have awarded.
As I talk about how grateful I am it makes me reflect on our studies of GRATITUDE! Gratitude is vital for your connection with the universe. Here are some of the exercises and readings that we have conducted to explain the reason behind this connection…
1. Law of giving and receiving index card
2. Gratitude cards
3. Emerson- Law of Compensation
4. Haanel- The Master Key System
5. Franklin Makeover- Kindness Week
6. Og Mandino- Various scrolls touch on this…
7. Wallace D. Wattles- The science of getting rich
These exercises and reading were given to us at various times throughout the course to bombard our subconscious through various angles. On a personal note these have made me very observant to this practice of being grateful. One thing that has impacted me tremendously is the Law of Giving & Receiving. The law states that we need to be in dynamic flow of giving and receiving and when we do not accept one or the other we block this flow.
Example… I would sometimes tell a person that they did not have to do a certain something or give a specific gift. When someone did I would say awe thank-you but you did not need to do that.
In the example I am blocking the flow of receiving for myself and blocking the flow of giving from the other person. In all truth the person knows that they did not have to do a certain something, because if they did not want to then the wouldn’t of done it. I had to grasp this concept at first, but it has made a tremendous impact in my life as a person receiving gift and I accept with open arms and warm smile the giver feels much better than when I would try and deny the gift. The energy is stronger during the transaction and harmony is in full swing. I love it!

Joshua!!!……You absolutely nailed it!! The concept of “Gratitude” is huge! What you described about yourself….is ME!! It is something I need to focus on more intently. As we have learned, we need to focus, concentrate, imagine, visualize…and when I have learned to do this with “Gratitude” I will become a more successful leader!!! Thanks for the post!!!
Great blog Josh, I like the way you intergrated all of the different parts.
