The motivation behind this article came from the audio, “How To Win Friends & Influence People”, that I listened to not too long ago by one of my favorite authors, Dale Carnegie. I highly recommend it to you, and I’m sure you’ll see why I loved it so much after I share with you what I learned from it! Not only can I use the information in my business life, but also in my personal life and especially in building relationships with others.
One of the parts from the audio that stuck out to me was the power of appreciation! Not only does the message emphasize being grateful, but it advises that to be a better and more effective people’s person, to be a better business partner, a better boss, a better partner in a romantic relationship, a better child to your parents and so on, one must verbally express their appreciation sincerely to people at any chance they get!
Think about it! If your man not only showed but verbally expressed his appreciation to you for taking good care of him, or if your wife always told you how much she appreciated you for what you do for the family and for providing as the head of the household, wouldn’t you be so much happier?
If your children randomly came to you and told you they appreciate you for sacrificing for them, or is your boss came to your desk to personally thank you for all your hard work, wouldn’t your good and positive efforts only become even more plentiful? Of course they would!
An important and powerful quote I hear over and over again in my personal development books, audios, and conversations, is that “What You Appreciate, Appreciates!” Dale Carnegie definitely makes this very clear in his audio!
Actually, a study was done that showed that most runaway wives in the olden days when divorce wasn’t too common, ran away because they did not feel appreciated! Also, in a seminar by another one of my mentors, Zig Ziglar, he mentions how most of Harvard graduates who went on to becoming successful and CEOs of companies, had supportive wives who always appreciated them!
A little appreciation can go a long way! Most of the things people do usually come from two main motivations or urges in life. One is the “sex urge” and the other is the “need to feel important!” Now, by understanding this about people, it becomes easy to see that if you showed people you appreciate them more, they will like you more, do for you more, want to be around you more, etc. Simply because you fulfill their need to feel important!
Isn’t this so powerful? I love this concept, and when I think about it pertaining to myself, I do see that it certainly is true. I appreciate those who appreciate me more, and I see that leaving behind drops of appreciation here and there for people, make them appreciate me more as well, thus creating better and deeper relationships!
What do you think about this concept? Would you give it a try? Don’t simply stop at ‘thinking’ about how much you appreciate others, let them know! Even if you assume that they already know, go right ahead and tell them you appreciate them again, and see how much stronger and more lucrative your relationships will be!
Attached is the link to the audio that I learned so much from, and am sure will help you too! I highly recommend it!
