On appreciation

Something I've learned in life and is worth reminding myself of regularly.......

Generally speaking, people gravitate towards environments in which they feel appreciated, and gravitate away from environments in which they don't.

Appreciation, like trust and respect - are verbs - appreciative, trustworthy, respectful - they are the way that YOU show up in the world.

It's for others to decide whether they want to reciprocate, leaving you to decide whether you want to gravitate towards or away from those people.

Follow your intuition.
