quote from Ultra: Before opening your business in the AM every day - try to take just a few minutes to offer gratitude, and ask for protection and guidance. You will be amazed what this will do, both in terms of your own consciousness throughout the day and possibly even affecting outer circumstance. You could do the same practice at mid-day and also after you close if you have the time and inclination.

this I found a working principle. basically I learned it from many schools of thought and also in ACIM.

what you do by offering gratitude, is to affirm thanks that you have received what is is you desire, you establish the climate of that happy feeling, then it allows the manifestation, because where there is gratitude, it is like PUL. and PUL is an accepting state of mind.

yes, I am always amazed Ultra that this works. might even call it faith, as you begin to be faithful to the principle.
