Appreciate and Being Appreciated..
October 1st, 2008 by becksy7In life, we tend to forget good things that happened to us or people do for us. But, we will remember even small bad things that happened or people do. Thus, many a time, we tend to forget, what is ‘appreciate’. Constant good things that happened will lead to being complacent, as in, we will have that kind of mentally that things will DEFINITELY fall into our way. Whether in our daily life, work or even relationship, they exist.
In daily life, we need to appreciate what happened for us everyday: Mum’s cooking, housework she does, nagging she gave, everything she does. I admit, many a time, I tend to “forget” and began to feel complacent. But ya, shouldn’t have. Next, work. Should look at the effort the subordinate puts in. Must appreciate what they did for us, correct and guide them through. Praise them whenever neccessary and not always pin point them. I guessed most of forget about this. I do, sometimes.
In relationship, we got to agree, many of us will somehow, at certain point of time, be complacent bout our partner. We will have the mentality that,”Oh, she will be there.” or “She will do it.” We tend to take things for granted. Many guilty parties uh? I am included. Mutual praise is important, it allows each other to feel comfortable, feel appreciated for what we have done for each other. Ultimately, no one wants to be in a relationship which he/she does not feel comfortable, right?
Avoidance of negetive words and actions even though the other party “gave” us the wrong things. Instead, appreciate what they did by saying a big thank you, and then, try to make do with they did (if possible!) and tactfully tells them that actually this is not what you want. It is skill to pick up, a good skill.
Just do our part in our daily lifes, and I am sure, everything will be fine. Feel appreciated and at the same time, show appreciation for being able to see and feel every single day. Smile always.
