Because we say it often,
it’s mechanical, automatic.
Sometimes we say it too quickly,
not grasping the essence of why.

Saying thank you goes beyond etiquette,
it is love, it is recognition.
It is saying,” you did me a good deed,
and I want to repay you.”

Thanks – or gratitude – is love,
it is a gesture coming from the universe.
Gratitude humbles us,
and makes us believe in love.

It’s contagious,
so good to be around them,
for when we’re down, unsure of ourselves,
our jumping beans friends will pluck us,
from the abyss of sadness and confusion.

I thank my lucky stars,
that my friends live life to the fullest,
no matter what frustrations they feel,
they don’t let on,
because they know that no one,
really listens to anything negative,
and they fight their battles,
with scoops of boundless energy.

We may be quick to criticize ourselves,
and decide that our self-talk is undeserving.
How can we attract the universe to us,
if our self-talk drives away the good forces.

Our thoughts should really inspire,
not only us, but others as well.
And then the universe would be ours,
where we tap the laws of attraction.

Thoughts are powerful energy,
from whence our actions come.
Using self-talk to ward off elements,
success is there for us to grab.
