Offer gratitude – it works
When you connect to people who are good for you you feel it. This is a big deal. Your energy lifts and with it your ability to learn, grow and perform. The world seems brighter just by them being in it with you.
You know the people I mean. The one who listens without judgement, who pushes you to higher standards, who makes their enjoyment of your company obvious, who will find the bits that worked out well, and will treat the bits that didn’t with the importance that they deserve, who finds the funny in the problematic, and who will accept you as you are because they realise imperfection exists within themselves and have grown to accept it. Lots of different people who add a special moment to your life.
Return some of the pleasure that you feel by telling them. Yes, let them know what they do that makes a difference and why. It may feel weird, but when we express our gratitude our lives feel even better. Its a win-win. And anyway probably no one ever tells them. We all like knowing we have made a difference beyond ourselves.
