Hi my friends
What is your interpretation of appreciation or gratitude in life?
For me it means to count my blessing for everything I own and everyone I know that has created values in my life.
How about yours ?

Appreciation is thanking for all the things that we receives, whether it is good or bad.
Some people only knows how to say thanks when they receives blessings and abundance.
But when they are facing problem and troubles- they always complain and rant without realizing that behind those troubles- there is also a blessing in hiding.

Well, I am certainly a person that do nnt demand a lot from life. What interests me in advance, is when I do something, try to do it in the best way. Unfortunately at this time, my life is not at the best of happiness. I have some family issues and also economic ones that we risk undermining relations in my family. I can only hope for a better future, where most of these issues will be resolved definitively.

I think that we should all appreciate the things that happen in our lives that our good. I think that it is of great importance that you are thankful for your family as they are the ones who are meaning that you are able to live the life that you currently do. To do this, I always make sure that I help my family whenever they need me, and I will try to make sure that I am always helping them out around the family home as this means that they don't have to do as much themselves, so this should show just how much I think of them, and how grateful I am that they are always there for me.

My interpretation about appreciation is recognizing what has been there, what has been done, what has been given, and giving attention to it. Gratitude is the attitude of being thankful for everything. I'm not that sophisticated in my analysis but at least, that's how I see it. I have learned from one coach that gratitude is one of the laws or principles of abundance. When I have something, I need to be thankful and appreciate it, so that when I have more, I can do the same thing. Meanwhile, the two words appreciation and gratitude have something in common.

Appreciation could be said to be prizing something because of its value.

Same here. Instead of longing fro what I don't have, I always appreciate what I have now. I believe that God provide us just what we need. I also believe that just waking up in every morning is a blessing and is something to be grateful for. Also, I am very grateful that my family is always safe and healthy. Simple things but we should be grateful for.

It is really important in our life and we should hold appreciation and also be grateful to everyone that helped us.This can make us feel positive about life and even promote the happiness in daily life,isn't it? Coz i believe no one is an isolated island.We need someone who really care us.

Appreciation means seeing all the good things even in simplest things in life. No matter what we have, how little or big it is, appreciating it is the key to happiness. A person who don't know how to appreciate the things that he have or the person he is with will never be happy.

appreciation to me is when you do things for people to show them that u really care and your thankful for the things they have done for you. Appreciation is also shown when you do things that for others and you dont expect anything in return.
