It's
important to be grateful for the things we have achieved or acquired. Gratitude
means giving attention to the things or people we appreciate, in order to
continue attracting them even after they are with us. Otherwise, they will drift
away.
If you stop
giving attention to your boy/girlfriend, pretty soon someone will come along who
will, and the attractive force produced by this attention will pull them away.
However, if you want to keep your boy/girlfriend, you must ensure that they're
receiving more positive attention from you than anyone else.
When we like
or appreciate someone, we give them attention by looking at them and listening
to them, which makes them feel good because it's positive energy flowing to
them. When someone is speaking to us we should give them all our attention so
they feel appreciated, and when someone is kind to us, we should send thoughts,
words and emotions of gratitude their way. Then they will feel happy, and
encouraged to do it again. When we make others feel appreciated, we are
simultaneously appreciating our own selves, because we are all one. In other
words, we can improve our own self-worth by appreciating other people.
Gratitude is what we exchange for service. After
all, it's what we really want in return for the services we provide. Money is a symbol of gratitude, but
gratitude is more important than money. If you only pay your staff money and
not gratitude, they will soon leave and find someone who will pay them with
both.
