A Spirit of Encouragement and Gratitude



Psychologists generally uphold the opinion that one of the basic desires of man is to feel important. People who have develop a feeling that life is not meaningful and successful won’t be able to enjoy life. Even though it is not expressed outside, the suppression of these feelings can lead one to both psychological and physical problems. Here comes forth the importance of the words of encouragement that would protect man from the negative feelings of despair and depression. It makes us feel that we are capable of doing something credible in life. We are also confident of someone coming to our help at the moments of trouble. In short, the words of encouragement make us courageous. Everyone thinks that he has to be appreciated. One may be doing so many things in one’s life deserving appreciation. If he doesn’t get enough encouragement he will get tired immediately. He will not be able to continue with his good works.

We are supposed to follow a ‘give and take’ policy here. This policy will surely help us to make life more enjoyable. Most of the time, we are interested only in receiving encouragement. You should not forget that there are many who want to get appreciation. We should take special care to use these words to encourage others. A word of appreciation will have great power. It can even change the life of a person completely. There is no doubt that if you give it to someone, you will also get it back.

Everyone wants to create something new and special in life. The child building with blocks has the satisfaction of creating something new. A girl writing poetry or the carpenter building a house has a feeling of satisfaction. This satisfaction is just because he is making something new with his own power. The happiness of a person largely depends on his creative power. Encouragement will surely play an important role in bringing out one’s creative power hidden within. Gradually, it can lead one to self-appreciation and satisfaction.

Human relation is a golden chain. It can be made stronger with love and gratitude. Since you live in the society, human relations are of great importance. Gratefulness makes one happy in heart. It is said that gratitude is like a boomerang. Today or tomorrow, it is sure to return to you. Therefore, express genuine gratefulness in words and actions. It also generates a feeling of happiness deep within every heart and helps one in enjoying life in its fullness. Due to all these reasons thankfulness is a necessary quality we should have deep within us.

We can express our love for someone by giving him so many things. But they will not make anyone perfectly happy. Thanksgiving is considered as the best giving because it spreads happiness in the society. A word or action of thankfulness is a matter of great enjoyment for the receiver. It also has lot to do with friendship. Friendship can be successful only through acts of gratitude. At times we think that some people have done nothing good to us. But that may not be a true judgment. There is goodness in every heart and what we need to do is to find out this goodness.
