Today was an ultra profound day for me. I realised I could learn appreciation from my pets. Pets will remind you in their own little ways. I keep a pond full of gold fish and koi. I have an aquarium full of domesticated turtles. Then a cute little dog came into our lives. They all one thing in common and that is “feeding time!” and a bell goes off that brings them all running or swimming towards mama. But today, I felt something else far more profound.
Pet Koi Can Teach You Appreciation
My friendly pets always thank me in their own little ways. They always make me feel good and accomplished as they come up to me. Being so trusting, these pets would take food out of my hands and I can pet them. I remember my own children when they were babies. Such gratitude, such appreciation from the most innocent and trusting beings I love.
Is Appreciation Such A Big Deal?
Many of us have to ask the importance of appreciation. I really never learnt its real power until I was well into my adulthood. Make no mistake this is not just a simple matter of observing your Ps and Qs. It is far more than mere politeness at dinner parties and proper etiquette.
True appreciation comes from the heart they say. I’ll go further and claim that it is truly from the appreciative thoughts, the emotions of thankfulness and the ultimate feeling of blessing the person, creature, thing or event that gave us cause to be so grateful.
The act of appreciation is most definitely a big deal. The wealthiest bankers in the far eastern countries would come out on the streets and in the communities to offer their appreciation to the people. In fact, they offer to sponsor celebrations as well to say thank you to the communities for being loyal clients. The recent Chinese New Year celebrations offered a glimpse of how wealthy bosses keep their community spirit on a high level. It was so important that they reward their employees financially and offer public entertainment for the community. Does it work? Well, why are they so wealthy?
Appreciation begets appreciation in return; he bigger the event, the bigger the return. That is absolute loyalty building. Marketing types already know what the effects of a powerful social network can become. This is social etiquette at its best.
Develop The Habit Of Appreciation
This is the very best way to learn to use this very important development in our lives. That is if we appreciate the finer things in life. As we’ve already seen, giving appreciation is one of the most powerful ways to gain popularity and develop a very loyal following.
Wealthy people also know that giving appreciation connects the community. Giving rewards and notice to loyal employees in a celebration is always the best way to develop camaraderie within any organisation.
As you observe the appreciation and rewards ceremonies, it is also a wise thing to give all the power of appreciative feelings you can to those recipients. Notice the most productive and the best earners of a company are always the most enthusiastic. You see, they, like their bosses know that to give is to bring back the same energy to receive. And you shouldn’t be wondering why successful people do the things they do.
Thus giving appreciation is to build great relationships, create an appreciative social network, cause the community to treat you with gratitude, and even have a very loyal following. It’s also magnificent for business building. But there is another thing I want to add that is of utmost importance. Your family and your loved ones should be remembered and appreciated all the time. They are your main support structure at home. Even as you settle down at night, they are there as your trusted allies.
Like the law of attraction, appreciation really builds your desires. Did I mention that things, events and all great feeling issues will come your way? It’s amazing what you can learn from your pets. If you haven’t already been practice, start by keeping some pets and do it with love. You’ll learn appreciation from your pets in a very short time.
