Stack together gratitude, purpose, and focused effort. You’ll appear to work miracles.

Gratitude on its own injects positive power into the moment, into whatever you experience. A strong sense of purpose provides a similar boost, as does focused effort.

Yet when you combine them all together in the same time and space, the results can be spectacular. You enter a state of extreme creativity, competence, and fulfillment.

Gratitude connects you to abundance, purpose enables you to make meaningful use of the abundance. Focused effort keeps the good work on track and moving forward.

You can always find some particular form of goodness for which to be thankful. Connect that thankfulness to a deeply held desire.

Then take an initial positive action, and you’re on your way. When you maintain the powerful trio of gratitude, purpose, and focused effort, you’re sure to make great things happen.
