Appreciation
Last week, I got quite a few emails on gratitude and what not. People, Marketers were throwing this term around.
It made me think about quite a few moments of my life and made me realize very simple things.
We, as a human have deep rooted desire to be appreciated. And we know instinctively when someone really appreciates it or whenever someone does it because their sales manual says so.
Appreciation.
If you remember one of my old post about “Just a Thank You”. How the day-to-day boring and monotone situation changed immediately just because my “Thank You” was really heart felt.
I also remember the name of one of the Fast food chain attendant who just gave me paper napkins and said a few things which connected with me.
I also remember when I once helped a friend and he was really grateful. How his simple thanks stood out and I understood it.
And then there was situation where one of my friends jaw dropped when she saw me after a few months. I had lost over 45 pounds and gotten stronger. I still remember her comments.
Appreciation.
It’s just a simple term, but we don’t get it enough. And we don’t give others enough.
Life is so darn simple. Look around you and appreciate the things in your life. Just like how a 2 letter words “thank you” can be so powerful, I realize how this simple concept of appreciate can brighten your day, change your outlook and create your character.
Remember, the more you give, the more you get.
What do you appreciate about yourself today?
