As we make progress with our programs of personal growth and development, we will have increased internal resources to help others – to be generous with our emotional and intellectual capital.

Just as our own self-esteem and personal/self-identity becomes built on a more solid foundation, so too can we help others in their personal journeys of fulfillment.

We all have the capacity to be generous and appreciative of others, and we all feel a sense of appreciation towards what others have done to help us at various times in our lives.

But too often we do not take the next step of telling people who have assisted us how much we appreciate what they have done for us.

It can be doubly sad to read “tributes” to people after they have died.

“A truly kind, generous, and selfless individual” and similar comments given in condolence statements are worthwhile, but how often are those sentiments expressed towards the individual while they were alive and could enjoy receiving our words of praise and appreciation?

We all need recognition; we all want to be noticed; we all want to be appreciated.

Why not tell people today how much you value them?

Now is the time when your note, phone call, or personally delivered words of praise can resonate
