Is your business or career suffering due to insufficient contacts, customers, or an unhappy office environment? Be thankful! Have an agenda that includes gratitude and kindness for every person you have contact with each day. People love to be around those who are kind and make them feel appreciated. Before finishing a conversation, share reasons you are thankful for meeting that individual. If it’s a first contact, thank them for a new insight, a refreshing conversation, assistance they are offering, or possibly even a big sale. If you are dealing with a difficult work environment, go into your office each day grateful for the common mission you and your coworkers are partaking in that will make the world a better place. Look for signs of goodness and kindness, even if they are small, and be grateful for them. Gratitude is always appreciated and helps you approach each day with happiness and an expectation for good, creating an environment of abundance and joy.

Are you in a tough relationship that seems to be going nowhere? Be thankful! This is an opportunity to learn how to be more patient and kind, and give more unconditional love! By doing this, not only will you get a clearer picture of what is truly lying at the root of the problems, but you will grow immensely as an individual. You find positive solutions that lead to a better life, one which may or may not include your existing partner, but either way you will find greater joy because you are a better person. Or maybe you are hoping for a special relationship with someone but it’s not happening. Be grateful in this too. The individual could be facing personal challenges that would create a very unhealthy and negative environment for you, and could be keeping you from an amazing relationship with a different person. Therefore, be grateful for closed doors that help you learn and grow so you can be ready when the right door opens.

1. 1. Forgive the person for anything they may say or do before you go into the meeting. Illusion that someone can hurt you. You always have the power of how you choose to feel or react in the situation.
   2. You do not know the future. Do not predict the way you think it will go thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whatever action you take now will help determine the future so watch you thoughts, words and actions carefully.
   3. On the root level of life, you are connected with this person. Some people are amazing at hiding their oneness with all creation. Do not see separateness of two bodies or egos get in the way of the reality of one mind and spirit. Illusions of separation
   4. Illusion of a future and that someone else controls you – there is only the here and now and you can control; your thoughts, words and actions.
   5. Illusion that fear and anger are more powerful than love. Do not expect the other person to change for the situation to change, you have to be the one willing to let love and not fear into the room by holding love thoughts about the relationship.
   6. Be humble- know the truth and work with the other person. Letting love guide you does not mean that you let the other person have their way. If someone said that they want to fix their problems by jumping off a building, you wouldn’t let them do it so you wouldn’t disagree with them.
   7. Listen to your voice within you. It will guide you in any situation.
   8. You are in this meeting for a purpose and that is so you can learn the lessons of love and apply them to the maximal amount possible. Stay focused. Do not think that anyone is not worth your time and focus.
   9. No matter how the other person feels, you must know that you did everything from a perspective of love. If you think that you could have done better, then do what you can to make it better as quickly as possible. If you are worried about your ego getting crushed, then let it. Fear and ego are not what you want anyway.
   10. Teach and learn. Teach love and learn love in every encounter.
