Life is full of things that fracture and
disengage us from each other. Things like criticism, judgment,
anger, jealousy, distrust - there’s a lot of them! But there are
also things we can do that bind us together. Like joy, humour,
patience, understanding, forgiveness, gratitude and appreciation.
Multiple studies on the value and benefits of being grateful, saying
thank you and showing appreciation all arrive at the same conclusion
- and I quote the book: “Gratitude is the glue of connection.” and
‘Gratitude dissolves discontent.’
Having an attitude of appreciation leads us to
more of the things we like, value and appreciate. In other words,
trying to maintain or build a satisfying relationship without
frequent expressions of appreciation is like trying to build a house
without any mortar or nails. Those things hold the wood and the
bricks together. Gratitude and appreciation hold two people together
and build the relationship. The same principles are true in our home
life, at work and at play. If you want your employees to have a
sense of making a difference and stay with you, then tell them
often, how much you value their contribution. This of course does
impact on your bottom line making a successful business - ‘fame and
fortune!’
