Nice and easy to read, 'The Magic' by Rhonda Byrne puts your life into the right perspective - of being grateful to be alive, to continuously enjoy this wonderful gift of life and all that it offers to us constantly. Instead of being grateful, which is probably our natural state really, we somehow tend to take things for granted and end up being ungrateful to life. No wonder then, that we manifest lives that are not joyful, that are not healthy, have a paucity of money, good relationships, career and so on. Rhonda Byrne gets the point across clearly that gratitude is the one and only way to clear all the blocks in your life and that being in a state of gratitude takes it all to a wonderful and abundant level. I have no doubts about her theory after reading the book and am humbled as I realise how ungrateful I have been to the world, to people, to things. As I read the book I could feel a transformation happen within, and now, I am conscious and remind myself to be grateful to the many wonderful things in my life. Gratitude truly adds magic to our lives.
'The Magic' is also an 28 day exercise book where Rhonda Byrne gives us little exercises every day to understand and practice gratitude. From making lists of ten blessings we have, to being grateful for the best thing that happened during the day, to being grateful in advance to things we wish to happen, to being grateful to whatever we have, how much ever little in terms of money, health, relationships, happiness etc, to carrying imaginary (yet powerful) magic wands, to magic dust and so much more, Rhonda Byrne makes us wonder at how creative, positive and filled with magic and wonder our lives can be. And gives us little exercises that keep us in that space of wonder, of a positive and creative energy. Ah, how wonderful to be grateful for all the small things that went right today! For the people who paid me out of turn for my services, for those who recognised my work and acknowledged it, for those who gave me free services, free lunches, free love, for my body that helps and supports tirelessly, for money that comes in whenever I need and buys me all I need, for my mind that keeps ideas going, for the environment that supports life, for nature that provides such inspiration and so much more
While making a list of the things that I was grateful for, I realised how I tended to focus so much on the couple of things that I don't have while not being grateful for all that I have. This appears to be the key really, to be grateful to what one has, to get more of it (and not crib about not having more). As I made the list of stuff that the Universe was providing me in terms of giving me stuff for free, the discounts, the advances, the payments etc I realised that I was actually receiving a lot more than I was being grateful for in real terms. In fact I was getting an awful lot of free stuff from the world and I was not even acknowledging it. To be grateful for the good things in relationships, to be grateful for the money one has, to be grateful for health is the way of getting more of those good things. Even without all that, the way of 'The Magic' is a sure way of making life a more magical, joyful and exciting place to be in. If you liked 'The Secret' you will like 'The Magic' surely. And if you are looking for a makeover to your life one way or another, this is a fine book to start with.
