Token of Appreciation

You should enjoy any opportunity to thank someone or compliment someone. Many times we get caught up in the excitement of receiving things, but I urge you to appreciate the gesture.

When I say to give a token of appreciation I don't necessarily mean anything material. Please and thank you are the magic words as Barney once told us. To be gracious is a special thing. Many people aren't gracious and are not seen positively for it. I say that to say this, in your relationships you should feel appreciated for who you are and the things you do. A compliment goes a long way even if he or she tries to play it off. Take pride in making someone feel good. Tell your lady or your man thank you when they do something right. Make sure they know you appreciate them doing things... even when it's not even asked of them.

The smallest things can make the biggest of changes. At the end of the day the feeling of someone being wanted or appreciated is priceless. When the going gets rough it may turn out to be a deciding factor in your relationship. Outside of the relationship realm, to be gracious shows great humility. No one can maintain their success without being humble, and achieving success without humility has to be double tough.

Show someone you care, say please and thank you, you're no bigger than any other person, and real people will respect that.
