Elvis had it. James Bond had it. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa had it.

There are people in all walks of life that have that confidence…that optimism.

Your DNA has little to do with Charisma. It seems to be more of a learned trait than anything else.

One way of capturing this sometimes illusive ability is to emulate someone who has “it”. Everybody knows someone who is popular, loves life and seems to get everything they want easily.

When you are in their company, notice how they draw glances…how they interact easily with others. How they conduct themselves with dignity.

See yourself being and acting as they do. Incorporate feeling that comes with living life with ease and grace.

Take deeper breaths and draw out your inner voice. It’ll be more powerful and enthusiastic...

Look on bright side of everything… Relax more than you ever have. See yourself as being successful in every way.

Be new you.. See it. Feel it. Be it..

I would also suggest that you keep these lists in a special notebook or computer file, and not share them with anybody. I’ve learned that until our dreams are actually manifested, it’s best to either keep them and our gratitude lists to ourselves or ONLY shared with those whom we can utterly trust to add SUPPORTIVE energy to our gratitude and dreams. Otherwise we may create an “energy leak” that will deflate our efforts. Keep your gratitude lists sacred, and build up their energy by prizing them as you would a treasure... each day as you add to your “energy bank” of gratitude, potency of your lists will grow!

Taking time out of your busy schedule to make your gratitude lists on a regular basis, and making effort to express your gratitude OFTEN to special people in your life, is a gift that can be given freely to yourself and to those you care for. And, your heartfelt words of appreciation are often MORE precious and long-cherished by receiver than even most expensive purchased gift could ever be!
