I know that I talk to people all the time who say this, especially when you're in a position where people are always asking you for things.

Those people who show appreciation for what you've done are more likely to have another favor in the future.

In addition, there will be opportunities that surface.

And they're going to think, hey, Jonathan, he was such a great guy.

I'm going to give this opportunity to him.

And so it's this hidden force field that happens when you show appreciation that those who don't do it don't realize.

And you're like, yeah, you know, you like that is that is certainly not the case.

It's just not the case.

And in fact, because people don't do it anymore, you are really going to stand out.

And it does not have to be something fancy.

I have a ritual and I really feel uncomfortable when I don't have time to do it.

I get to the end of the day.

I look at my calendar and I send thank you notes to all those people who did something to help me that day.

It takes a whole five minutes.

It is not a huge, huge burden.

But not only have I shown.

appreciation, but I also feel much more grateful.

And I think that's an interesting distinguish as well as gratitude and appreciation.

People keep gratitude journals.

Oh, here are all the nice things that happened to me.
