Unleashing the Power of Appreciation in Our Lives


Listen Later

Hello, my dear friend! Have you ever paused to think about the remarkable impact that appreciation can have on our lives? Like my experience this week, attending two community meetings highlighted this very point.

The first was a vision and planning meeting by a new board looking to bring a fresh opportunity. However, it became tense and confrontational as some members were more interested in tearing plans apart than building new paths for the future, driven perhaps by a fear of change.

At the second gathering, the managing team made amends for errors, acknowledging their missteps.  In both cases, it was not the challenge that was the problem it was the delivery.


It made me wonder why criticising is often easier than appreciating.

Appreciation is a powerful tool. It’s that warm smile and acknowledgement that can turn tension into teamwork. In the world of public speaking, like Toastmasters, appreciation is the tool used to deliver feedback. It follows the 'commend, recommend, commend' approach – perfecting the art of giving constructive feedback while uplifting spirits.

Yet, the greatest appreciation we can offer is to ourselves. Looking in the mirror and valuing who we are is transformative. It’s a journey of self-recognition. As human beings, children or adults, we thrive on acknowledgement and respect. And when we feel valued, we rise. So, let’s take a moment, shall we? Appreciate yourself today. Share gratitude, and watch your world blossom.

Join me next time when Jane Duncan Rogers will join me in a special podcast about our journey exploring the 'My Millionaire Mindset.' Until then, spread some love and appreciation. You deserve it. Catch you soon!
