Self-Conscious Gratitude

For some reason we believe that if we really 'mean it' everyone will know 'it' - no matter what 'it' is.

But people don't read minds - especially our minds.

Most of us are too self conscious - ‘They’ll think I’m insincere if I say 'it' that many times - I like to make my gratitude feel special so they know it’s important.’

That’s like saying, ‘I won’t tell my significant other I love them more than once or twice a year so they’ll know I really love them.’

Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.

Maybe you need to up your ‘Thank you’ game and learn ways of saying how you’re thankful, for what, and add the thanks of others to your ‘Thank you’ - maybe.

Just maybe...
