Everybody needs to know that they're appreciated.However,it's easy to forget this and simply criticise the performance of colleagues or the behaviour of family and friends.When was the last time you told your partner that you love them and how much u appreciate their role in your life?How long is it since you pointed out to your child what they're doing well at schools as opposed to what they are doing badly?it's said that an actor oly remembers the member of the audience who din't clap.We play a half descent round of goal and oly remember the half wasn't descent.If we do this to ourselves,how much more do we do it to others?What sort of feedback do you get from ur boss-are u praised when u perform as you should or just told when you're doing someting wrong?Some days you wake up simply feeling good and everything goes well doesn't it?you handle difficult calls,better sales,effficiently handle sensitive conversation with ur friend.So if v know that we perform better when we feel good about ourselves,why do v criticise people and expect them to be motivated to perform better?Help ur colleagues,friends to focus on their strengths and on wat they're gettig right.When you do this you'll find they display their strengths more and more.Focus on people's strengths including ur own,and ur life could change beyond recognition.Telephone someone who's important to u and tell them what u appreciate about them.When they ask y you called,don't muddy the water by having a piece of housekeeping or arrangements to discuss.Just tell them that the oly reason u called was to thank them for their strengths and value they bring to ur life.
