I don’t want to be famous, I don’t care if I’m rich (just comfortable would be nice), but what I do want is to be appreciated. I want that little dopamine hit of someone looking at something I did or said and acknowledging the effort. I think that’s all a lot of people want: a little recognition.

Kids who don’t feel appreciated or recognised, who desperately want validation from their parents or teachers or friends but never get it, don’t easily learn to appreciate themselves. They continue to seek out that validation by becoming people pleasers. And they value their own achievements or abilities less because they have never had that external validation to corroborate their internal validation.

And, at some point, they will stop doing what is expected because what they were doing wasn’t appreciated.

So, appreciate effort when it is made because you’ll notice it when it’s no longer forthcoming and, by then, it will be too late.

Eudaemonia is spirit-wellness—beyond happiness to meaningful wholeness. Researchers found that awe, wonder, & beauty amplify meaningfulness. So really—stop and smell the roses. It’s a religious practice.

For the week ahead: May I be a person of peace. May I notice and affirm acts of kindness to others by others. May I pause often to just close my eyes, and breathe, and be grateful. May I love all others in ways that are meaningful to them. May I accept the kindnesses of others expressed to me with gratefulness. May I serve others, quietly, consistently, and genuinely.

Stop, Look, Go.
Ce l'hanno insegnato quando eravamo piccoli per attraversare la strada, ma applicato ad ogni singolo istante (opportunità come le chiama lui), può cambiare quello che lascia in noi (rendendoci riconoscenti).
Se vuoi conoscere anche tu l'insegnamento di David Steindl-Rast per essere felici, leggi il mio passo.

Questions for you and me:

What will you celebrate / elevate with your attention today? What will you actively tend to?

I try practicing when I start feeling low. It usually helps when I remind myself that I have more than most

Wishing you (and me) a very normal Saturday.

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, savor you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it will not always be so."

From "A Normal Day!" by Mary Jean Irion

Gratefulness.org's Poem-A-Month is "Belonging" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer.

Fitting for the transition here and a good reminder about the "social" of social media.

"Alone as we are, our small voices
weave into the one big conversation."
