Just saying “Thank You” seems the easiest thing in the world. Meaning it, though, is an entirely different matter. Some people go through life with a sense of entitlement. That is letting everyone know that they deserve whatever is given to them. Humility is a wonderful ingredient to show an appreciative thank you to someone. A person should be grateful that they have been given the greatest gift of all, help from your fellow man.Our lives on this earth are very short indeed. The more thank yous you garner and give shows how deeply you have cared and been cared for during this life that you are given. The largest to the very smallest of acts deserve thank yous from the heart.
An evolutionary gift of humans is the capability of knowing when a gift is given to them. It is an achievement of our society, and our humanness, that we have been given the truly substantial ability of giving and receiving gratitude, of being able to give and receive gifts.
The gift book iamgr8ful for life by Kim Serafini, who is a firm believer and an expert practitioner of positive psychology, is a wonderful way of showing your appreciation as well. When a Thank You just won’t quite do for you, giving this book is a great way of expressing the words that you may not be capable of saying. I have found that it is also a great way of empowering those that you are saying thank you to. To enrich their lives even further. I definitely advise getting this book, located at http://www.iamgr8ful.com, as a gift that will keep on giving and you just may receive a “Thank You” yourself.
Also, the Art of Receiving can be very difficult to comprehend for many people. Many, myself included, have a hard time with responding to a thank you. “No problem” has become a staple in today’s society. We, as a people, need to concentrate more on the gift of just being able to say “Thank You” for the many gifts that are received.
Sometimes, though, it is difficult to even see that a gift has been given or that you have given a gift to someone. Don’t be discouraged, though, when an appropriate “Thank You” is not given for a deed that you have performed. The act of kindness will permeate throughout the receiver’s subconscious and will at least be manifested with the return gift of a smile. Just one little smile given back to you is one of the best ways of saying “Thank You,” I believe, if a thank you cannot be given or expressed in a meaningful way.
On another vein, it is totally acceptable to not just give a thank you but to give a gift as well. One of the best that I know is the Technique of Lithos Therapy. This therapy has been designed as a holistic endeavor to relax body, mind and spirit. For an extra large “Thank You,” give both the book iamgr8ful for life and the holistic massage treatment called Lithos Therapy, located at http://www.lithos.com.au.
Be grateful for your life, you only have one to give. Thank God for the gift that he has given you.
