Pacification
Placating Actions
Syrupy Words
Sign of Neediness
Unnecessary
Those whom we love often get the least appreciation. We are not in the habit of showing appreciation. Many people have said to me, "Shouldn't they just know that I care, that I do appreciate?"
My answer is always, "Isn't it Always Nice To Hear and Good To Be Sure!"
Society doesn't help either. What we see in the media, in any formats, are almost always a "critique"of people, events and situations. We hear a lot about "Roasting" someone and Not "Toasting" a person.
Appreciation is...
a thoughtful gesture, a clear recognition,
of an assessment of someone's true worth, qualities and values.
The Art of Appreciation is the expression of it.
If it is not expressed...it is not received.
- It has to be Make Known
- It is a Shared Experience
- It is Action Orientated
- It has to be Ongoing
It's one of the those vital, life-giving gifts in any relationships.
I have seen appreciation in word and deed turn a bad relationship around, repair years of discontent and heal brokenness of the self.
Yes. It's not an overnight process. Yet, there are no magical fixes in relationships.
Now...Go Practice...The Art of Appreciation.
