- Everyone has heard the cliché that every cloud has a silver lining. Count Your Blessings goes beyond that to show people how to change their attitudes in order to see the good in things and be grateful. “There is no crisis without a blessing; there is no turmoil without a gift”, Dr. John F. Demartini says in his book.
There are affirmations, exercises and meditations closing every chapter in Count Your Blessings. This helps give people the tools to become active so that they can heal themselves successfully.
The exercises and affirmations are thought provoking and enlightening. Positive affirmations are important because they can be repeated to replace negative thoughts.
Do What You Love
There is a whole chapter dedicated to people interested in doing what they love. If a job is in tune with someone’s purpose they will prosper spiritually, financially and physically. There is also help on how to enjoy a job that someone says they feel stuck in or hate.
Clear Purpose
This chapter focuses on direction and purpose and ties in with people doing what they love. It encourages people to listen to their inner voices and use visualization so that they can picture their success.
Forgiveness
Dr. John F. Demartini has an interesting slant on forgiveness and why there is nothing to forgive. He explains that the act of forgiveness is judgmental because it must be deemed right or wrong. Everyone is encouraged to see the benefit of the person or event instead of worrying about forgiving. It's an interesting and challenging way of looking at things but one worth pursuing.
- Other subjects addressed in Count Your Blessings include sowing what you reap, limitations, solving problems, moderation, being judgmental, money, unconditional love and infatuation.
This is a well written book for anyone who wants to learn how to control their emotions and stop blaming others. Once anger at others is purged, gratitude and healing can begin. The principles in Count Your Blessings by Dr. John F. Demartini, Element Books, 1997-2007, ISBN 10: 1-4019-1074-2, are organized and easy to follow but more importantly, they’re effective.
