hmmm, was just thinking and wondering what we would do without a way to quickly and easily (with most people) tell somebody, "Thank You"?
I have been working on the value of this for about 8 years now (but really my entire life, when I think about it) and also making sure that it doesn't always or even have to be about me being acknowledged, but rather an opportunity for someone to be thankful, and show their gratitude.
....remember, what we focus on grows, so if you're focusing on what you have, it will grow (hopefully for the better)....saying, "Thank You" is a way to do this.
But seriously, how hard is it to say, "Thank You"....???
I remain bewildered, amuzed (deliberately misspelled to compel you to believe me!) and sometimes irritated (yes, I do also get irritated just like other people) at how people can not even find it inside of themselves (everyone has a stressful, busy life, by the way, so not buying this anymore!!), to quickly say "Thank You" in person, on the telephone, text message or email....
What I would like to leave you with is that life is a full circle.....
so remember, the next time someone makes you feel like they may be taking advantage of you, or being ungrateful for something you took time out of your busy life to do for them or give them, just remember that you may be (getting your payback) receiving your ungratefulness back in return. (when you forgot to "Thank" someone)
It's never too late for a "Thank You"....
Oh, and one more thing: Just don't overdo, probably not a good idea .....then, nobody, not even me, will take you seriously.
