Something to Appreciate
What's the
quickest way out of a negative attitude? Have something
ready and waiting that you can immediately and genuinely
appreciate.
How do you find the hidden value in any situation? Look
for something to truly appreciate.
When you seek to find things to appreciate, what you'll
discover are hidden treasures upon which you can build
great value. Look for what you can appreciate, and
you'll find positive, powerful tools that will pull you
forward.
Get in the habit of starting each day by thinking of
something for which you can be thankful. Then, whenever
you catch yourself falling into a negative thought
pattern, you'll already have something positive toward
which you can redirect your thoughts.
Each time you meet a new person, make it a point to find
something, at the very outset of the relationship, that
you can sincerely appreciate. Every time you find
yourself in a new place or situation, look first for
what you can appreciate about it.
Find something to appreciate, and your effectiveness
will increase dramatically. Find something to
appreciate, and you'll uncover real treasure.
Ralph Marston
