Gratitude Is Sticky

Tags: , , , View Comments

Something in Every Job, Every Person

If you consider the people who truly light up a room, to a person they are always people who are quick to see value in others.

If you smile at such a person, she’ll smile back in a way that shares the smile and gives you all of the credit. You’ll hear a “Look at you!” or a “Wow! How you made my smile brighter!”

It’s about more than giving thanks.

Deep gratitude is understanding the contribution of another. It’s about valuing another person’s time and what they give. People who have true gratitude understand that the most generous givers often do so in ways that are hard to see.

And the most generous givers are grateful that they have something to give and someone to give to.

Look closely, people who are grateful for the value in others often have a large following.

Gratitude, true and deep, is irresistible, as it should be.

All good things given freely are sticky.

    Hi Liz!

    I liked your blog. the whole make up of the blog and the font. Its an easy read. I like this post and the previous one. I want to subscribe to your blog. Pls. post me on your writeups. They’re all great. I saw a link in Dave’s blog.

    Gratitude is a great gift. It can be a smile. But it goes a long way in lighting up a dull and anxious moment. Especially if you’re in a strange place with strange people; when someone does something unpleasant. It takes courage to smile. I like this post.

    Thanks

    Hi Solomon,
    I’m learning more about gratitude every day. Yes, it is a great gift — both to have and to give back. Keeping a sense of gratitude keeps us focused on other people, which makes life so much easier. It’s hard being the center of the universe. :)
