When was the last time that you called your internet provider to let them know that they are doing a great job and that your connection didn’t go down once this month?

How about your phone company? Gas? Electric? Sounds silly I know!

I would imagine probably never. We only call them when things go bad.

This is a scary pattern that we have in our lives. We are constantly complaining when things aren’t good, but never recognising or appreciative when things go well.

Do you know how easily you could make someone’s day by calling them up just to tell them that they are doing a good job and everything is working well?

We could also relate this to work or home life.

Let someone you know or someone that works for you know how much you appreciate their effort . . . for no reason whatsoever.

Tell your significant other how much they mean to you . . . for no reason whatsoever.

Recognise the positive things in your life, and the positive things will recognise you in return.

We all like to feel appreciated; give it a try. You can thank me later.
