 80% of success is psychological. Have you noticed that every time you take a leap of faith in your business, grace steps in, and everything seems to fall into place?

Conversely, when you worry and doubt every step of the way, important decisions don't get made and action doesn't get taken... and everything slows down to molasses speed. 

I love Marie Foleo's message in this article about tapping into faith in your business.

 If you know me at all, then you know how much I believe in gratitude, and how much I love gratitude journals. 

I practice and teach gratitude journaling in a completely different way than most, though. 

When I first started gratitude journaling as a way to focus my mind and energy, I did what everyone else does, and quickly found it lacking real feeling. I found myself just going through the motions. 

Then, by accident, I discovered a brand new way to journal about gratitude. 

I was on a year-long road trip with my family and was desperate for other families to connect with. I was feeling a bit down with the isolation we were experiencing, so I started writing a letter to God/Spirit/Universe etc.
