Recognition, acknowledgement, appreciation, praise – who doesn’t enjoy a good pat on the back once in awhile?
Do something nice – you will feel good. Simply put, you can do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. That should be reason enough. Seems so simple – doesn’t it?
It’s a wonderful thing to give yourself a pat on the back, because you know you did something great, something right, something helpful, something that makes you feel good and something that provides support for someone in need. For some, it’s intuitive. It’s an instinctive way to behave. Some of us just put ourselves out there with the best of intentions and expect nothing in return. When someone acknowledges good things done by good people, that’s the reward. That’s the prize.
Celebrate something good everyday. Do something good everyday. Those around you will applaud and be grateful.
