I challenge you to express gratitude to someone for what they said or did that enriched your life. And by this I don’t mean praise. I do not mean gratitude to reward someone, or to build up his/her confidence, this is just a tool to manipulate or shape someone.
So can you express these 3 things in words when giving someone your gratitude?
- The observation: what did the person say or do that enriched your life?
- How do you feel right now by recalling what happened?
- What need of yours was met?
The more that gratitude becomes a part of your life, the more fuel and energy you will have to enrich other people’s lives. Can you tap into the power within to enrich other people’s lives by expressing real gratitude, instead of playing the game: who’s right, who’s wrong?
It’s equally important to know how to receive gratitude. If the person who receives your gratitude does so in an empathetic way, you will see it in their eyes.
Why is expressing real gratitude so hard for us to do? And even more so, why is it so hard for us to hear and receive real gratitude?
How often do we feel things very deeply, feelings that never get expressed?
