Being) has already set about the fulfillment of your desire. You may not see your
affirmed desire fully manifested yet at the present time, but expressing thanks makes
you believe that what you've asked for is already done. Thereafter, you have a sense of
expectancy that what you desire will eventually come to fruition.
If there was ever a "formula" for manifesting desires, this is it. Ancient spiritual manu-
scripts, including the Bible, emphasize that a single-minded belief is essential in receiving
what you ask for. They also warn against double-mindedness. Know with absolute and
unwavering certainty that what you are affirming is already yours. "If you can believe, all
things are possible to him who believes." So believe that it's already done by simply say-
ing "Thank you" or assuming an attitude of gratitude after affirming what you want. I once
heard a wonderful quotation from an anonymous author that says it profoundly: "We can
start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude, then let it work it's magic.
Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it. Today will
shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the circumstances of my life."
