In our current economic down turn, companies are downsizing or going under. Many people are unemployed or under employed. Businesses want the biggest bang for their buck and sometimes it’s at the expense of their employees. Salaries get frozen, projects get put on hold, and sometimes employees feel under-utilized and unappreciated. When a company is struggling for solutions to keep afloat, they may take their staff for granted or even blame them for the company’s problems. We are so busy trying to keep all the balls in the air, juggling the various issues and tasks in our life, and we begin to worry that we are going to be the next work place casualty. It is easy to feel diminished in this environment.

Centered Action

So, if I am feeling unappreciated, I am probably not alone. And I have to ask myself, when was the last time I told someone in my life that I appreciated them? Not just giving lip service to appreciation, but thoughtfully and specifically telling someone what I appreciate about them. You will be amazed how a few kind words can brighten someone’s well being. Practice appreciation!

If you feel this message would be useful to someone you know, please forward it to them.

Keep the Faith, Clean up the messes in Your Path, Give to Someone Else,

And Be Your Most Magnificent Self…
