There is something so incredibly important and that is recognition. People will do almost anything to be recognized and appreciated for their actions and achievements. That is why there are so many different kinds of awards that have been created. From our schools where we were awarded by receiving good marks to awards at work and business, entertainment, sports, science, etc. The need for recognition is huge!
We can collect amazing awards throughout our lives and we can feel great for the moment when we receive them, but, the most vital are the ones that we give to ourselves. There are the little daily awards that make the difference! Is that very interesting that we remember so well a verbal gratitude or kind words of another person? We remember those things better than any good mark that we got at school. The words – I love you, spoken by your partner or your child, etc., are more precious than any awards we can ever get. Think about it. What do you remember better, the day you bought your first car or the day that your first child was born?
There is one extremely important award that you need to give to yourself on a daily basis. You need to become the most kind and the most loving person to YOURSELF. You need to pat yourself on the back often, very often. You need to tell yourself how amazing and how brilliant you are. All those spoken words are more valuable than we can ever realize. They are the words that shape us and create us even more amazing than we are. Those are the words that create our successes. We need to see ourselves in our mind being successful before we became that success. If we want people to respect us we need to respect ourselves first. When we do that and I mean truly do that, something fascinating happens. We see others in a different way. The more we love ourselves the more we love others. The more we respect ourselves the more we respect everyone and everything. The more we see the beauty in ourselves the more brilliance we see in everyone else. We become new people and our confidence goes through the roof! And as a result we find out that people around us speak kindly to us, love, appreciate and respect us.
Those little awards that you give to yourself every moment, even for the smallest things, becomes a huge and the most precious award you can ever get. You become truly HAPPY! How awesome and simple is that!?
We create everything in our lives by the way we feel, so when you are happy your GRAND PRIZE is that your life becomes truly Magical!
Have an absolutely magical week, full of LOVE, GRATITUDE and FUN!!!
