The Gratitude Effect: practicing the power of thank you

The Gratitude Effect defines the power of thank you in a short, inspiring film from Avaiya Media. It combines insights from spirituality, business and psychology.

Law of attraction

Speakers include Bob Proctor, Marci Shimoff and Joe Vitale, all motivational success teachers who appear in the hit film The Secret.

The film is beautifully produced with lovely music, and filled with images of smiling kids and adults.

Pathway to an extraordinary life

“When times are tough, that’s when gratitude matters the most,” says Vi “The Fiddler” Wickam. “The opportunities are out there. When you live in gratitude, you can see them.”

Jean Trebek comments, “I think gratitude is putting no expectation on what is. It’s a place of surrender and allowance. Even when there is something in your life that appears to not be going great, you can use your imagination to cultivate a feeling of gratitude.”

Giving thanks empowers you because “you fill yourself up and you’re more able then to give from a place of fullness,” says Shimoff (Chicken Soup for the Soul; Happy for No Reason).

Active practice is key

As a tool for growth and learning, this uplifting film reminds you to give thanks every day.

Gratitude transforms your life when you actively share it, says Avaiya co-founder Ashley “Ande” Anderson. Tell others why you appreciate them. Write thank you notes to clients. Keep a gratitude journal.

Quotes from prominent leaders are incorporated into the 15 minute film. “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more,” Oprah Winfrey says. “If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
