#appreciatesomeone

It has come to that time of year again when we have to start thinking about what we are grateful for, yes, the holidays, one of the best times of the year when we get to join with family and friends, enjoy smiles, and live in the moments that we can remember for a lifetime...but while we wait for these moments to come, let us consider a moment to do one thing this week, the one thing that will make a world of difference within our communication, how people view and talk about us, and that one gesture is appreciation...

Appreciation, a form of gratitude, that can be expressed in many ways, but for this week, let focus on just understanding...understanding why you are appreciating a person/moment. I've said it many a times that there just aren't bad moments, there's life lessons to learn from everything and everyone. You could get mad about something, frustrated in a manner that you wouldn't have liked to get, but then when you want to really become aware of your surrounding and yourself, you'll think to yourself after the event and ask yourself, "was it really worth it?"...most times, well no, 9.9/10 times it wasn't at all...it's a hard task, but when you learn how to be one with all around you, life will become that much greater and you'll be able to control almost everything around you! Think about that for a minute...

But this week, we'll focus on the understanding of situations that you may be going through and what we'll do is turn expectations into appreciation. I mean think about it, when you turn the expectations into appreciation you let go of all the thoughts that can hold you back from even doing the action you want to take and then you begin to get to a place where you'll feel so good that you just appreciate the fact that you're able to even do such gestures so little as helping someone walk down the street to as big as sponsoring someone to go on a trip abroad. All these things and more are possible by the way you look at life and the movements you take to see them come to life.

Appreciation doesn't have to come in the form of material things. Appreciation can simply come in the form of action and your words. Even if someone doesn't respond to the way you show the appreciation, don't worry about it, they'll remember the action you took to show them appreciation. They might just be struggling with some things inside or even outside, but don't get mad, worried, or even sad...just let them go through it, because in the end, it'll all come around for them. Your world, his/hers will have to form and shape into what it has to be...what it has to become and if your/their mind is in the right path of life, then you know it's only going to be good...

Live in these moments of life where you show nothing but appreciation and understanding this week. And keep in mind that you can't always have things your way and to just enjoy life. It's meant to be LIVED...don't hold onto moments of negativity too long because it only brings to a space in life where you'll just be hurting yourself and others around you...keep life moving with love and again understanding and then the appreciation will just unfold from it all. 

Best of luck this week folks, we all have someone in our corner who deserves our appreciation...so take a moment to think...

Be well. All but the ultimate best...
