Appreciation used intentionally and sincerely can renovate just about any experience, no
matter how testing, into one you value and become grateful for. Understanding and applying
your energy of appreciation can literally transform your life for the better.
Getters generally don't get happiness, givers get it. You simply give to others a bit of yourself, a
thoughtful act, a helpful idea, a word of appreciation, a lift over a tough times, a sense of
understanding, a timely suggestion. You take something out of your mind, decorated in kindness
from your heart, and put it into the other persons mind and heart.
By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged you can
literally transform the experience of a persons day. You may forget tomorrow, the kind words
you said today, but the recipient may cherish them for a lifetime.
“If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with praise,
they learn appreciation”. - Dorothy Law Nolte
Appreciation is a wonderful thing, it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of
children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know
even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of
success”. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that
is necessary.
Most of us walk around on autopilot, in vibrational neutral most of the time. We’re not
deliberately focusing our thoughts and feelings, we’re just letting them ramble. This is why it feels
like people or situations can “make” you feel a certain way. What’s really happening is that in
the absence of your own strongly focused vibration, you are being “entrained” by another
person’s or situation’s vibration. Their strongly focused vibration simply aligns with that part of
your frequency of vibration that is even weakly similar to theirs, and sure enough, you end up
feeling differently.
Conversely, entrainment explains why when you deliberately respond to a situation with a
powerfully focused energy, you will be responded to in kind, if no resistance is met. “Like attracts
like” “what goes around, comes around” and “what you give is what you get” reflects this
scientific reality. We live in a universe of vibrating energy, so whatever energy you give off, such
as energy of appreciation, will support and encourage experiences of like energy.
