Be grateful for corrupt politicians. 10 reasons why you should be grateful for them from The Science of Getting Rich by William Wattles

THE BENEFITS OF BEING GRATEFUL
1. Grateful souls are closer to God.
Get closer to God when you are grateful. The soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than those who never look to God in thankful acknowledgement. The mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.

2. The whole mind benefits from gratefulness.
Gratitude keeps you in close harmony with creative thought. Gratitude prevents you from falling into competitive thought. You might think why is competitive thought not as good as creative thought. Think about it – creative thought adds something new to the world, while competitive thought tries to take what is there. Competitive thought thinks the supply is limited.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS
3. There is a Law of Gratitude – and it is 100 per cent necessary to observe if you want to get the results you want. Thus the definition of success is getting the results you want to see in your life.

THANKFUL PRAISE
4. How do we show the right gratitude? It should be in thankful praise to the Supreme. Draw nearer to God and he will draw nearer to you. This is what the Bible says.

STRONG AND CONSTANT GRATITUDE
5. Strong and constant gratitude leads on to strong and continuous movement of the things you want. Consider the gratitude attitude that Jesus took: “I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hearest me.” Gratitude keeps you connected with Power.

NOW AND IN THE FUTURE
6. Gratitude keeps you satisfied with the present and how things are plus getting more blessings in the future. It is about fixing your attention to the best and on the best that surrounds you. If you surround yourself with the best then you become the best.

WHAT CREATIVE POWER DOES
7. We all have Creative Power within us and it makes us into the image of that which we give our attention. We are a Thinking Scheme and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.

WHERE IS THE GRATEFUL MIND?
8. The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. When you are thinking of the best, the form or character of the best materializes and you will receive the best or the best that is possible at that time.

WAVES OF FAITH
9. Faith is born from gratitude. The grateful mind constantly expects good things and expectation becomes faith. A grateful mind expects good things. Expectation becomes faith. Every wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith.

HABIT OF GRATEFULNESS
10. Cultivate the habit of being grateful. Give thanks continuously. Everything has contributed to where you are today so include all things in your gratitude.

YES YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS
William Wattles says: “Do not rage against corrupt politicians. If it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy, and your opportunity would be greatly lessened.” Wattles goes on to say: “God has worked a long time and very patiently to bring us up to where we are in industry and government, and He is going right on with His work. There is not the least doubt that He will do away with plutocrats, trust magnates, captains of industry, and politicians as soon as they can be spared. In the meantime, behold they are all very good. Remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you, and be grateful to them all. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.”
