The Value of Appreciation

Posted on November 11, 2007 in Laws Of Attraction by byronb

Just like with people, when you want the Universe to treatyou well, a little appreciation goes a long, long way.

Appreciation brings out the best in others, and it bringsout the best from the creative energy underlying everything, the source of AllThat Is. When you appreciate something you feed it energy and thus foster moreof it in the world. So when you admire something beautiful, you create morebeauty in the world. Beautiful, isn’t it?

When someone appreciates you how does it feel? Wonderful,doesn’t it? And feeling good is a signal that we are in alignment with oursource, fully-engaged in the blissful flow of creation. Appreciation istherefore a way to put yourself and guide others intobetter alignment with the source, more fully engaged in the blissful flow ofcreation. To put it another way, appreciation is one of the best and highestways to achieve enlightenment.

When you appreciate another person you encourage them todevelop more of those qualities about them which you appreciate. Think of asmile. (Are you smiling already?) How many times have you discovered that whenyou smile at someone, for whatever reason, they smile back at you. Is it contagious? Of course it is! Like everything elseaccording to the Law of Attraction, it attracts more of itself.

Appreciation attracts appreciation. And the more that youappreciate the things around you, the more things you’ll find around you toappreciate. One form of appreciation is gratitude. And just like with all otherforms of appreciation, the more gratitude you feel for your life and all that’sin it, the more your life is filled with reasons to be grateful.

What you put your attention on grows, and putting yourattention on things you appreciate makes them grow. People who talk to theirplants know what we mean. In parenting it’s positive reinforcement instead ofnegative reinforcement or, worse, punishment.

Appreciation can lift you out of a bad mood and into a goodone. Appreciation helps turn a good mood into a great one. And appreciationhelps a great mood last. Appreciation can help improve any relationship.Appreciation can prevent, divert, thwart, counter, and dissolve otherwisenegative situations. Appreciation heals, on every level, including the physical.

We human beings thrive on Life Force, and appreciation is abottomless wellspring of it.
