The Reason to Keep Expressing Gratitude

"Thank you"
"That helps"
"I'm glad you're here"

Words of gratitude are essential actions for respecting others and
fostering smooth communication.

Now, do you think the effect of words of gratitude diminishes if you keep using them?

Have you ever worried that "the more you use words of gratitude,
the shallower they might sound"?

It is okay.

The more you use words of gratitude, the more effective they become.

In other words,
words of gratitude do not depreciate.

There are three main reasons to keep expressing gratitude.

I will explain them one by one, so I would appreciate it if you read until the end.

Well then, let's begin.

✔There is "no harm" in saying it

In the first place,
there is no harm in expressing gratitude.

This is because words of gratitude themselves are
positive words.

Because they show the value of the other person's existence and
assert that "we should get along smoothly with each other,"
they are wonderful words that can lead to
a truly win-win situation.

That is why you should be more bold and
keep expressing gratitude.

I understand the feeling of not wanting to be thought of as
"Wow, this person has shallow feelings of gratitude."

However, perceiving it as
“just superficial feelings” is
“up to the other person”.

Unfortunately, you cannot control
how the other person feels.

Furthermore, precisely because it is the other person's problem
if they perceive it as “just superficial feelings,”
it could be said that for them,
the importance of words of gratitude is low.

For such people, I recommend either viewing them with a cold eye
or simply continuing to express words of gratitude for the time being.

Precisely because it is impossible to
control the other person's feelings,
there is no harm in thoroughly
continuing to express words of gratitude.

✔ For your own sake

Expressing words of gratitude is, in other words,
“the effort to find the good points in others”
reflected back.

“This person has this kind of side to them”
“Oh, that’s helpful”
“My heart felt warmed”

Because you can find the good sides of others...
you feel like you want to express words of gratitude.

Without a doubt,
the feeling of finding the good sides of others
will be a plus for your heart.

Conversely, isn't there someone around you
who only finds fault with others?

“This part of them is no good”
“That guy has that kind of personality”
“You can't trust people from such and such a place”

In the end,
they find reasons, whether true or not,
to judge others as if to tear them down.

These kinds of people
set aside their own self-evaluation
and look down on others.

At first glance,
it may seem like an action to protect themselves
and you might feel it is a plus for their heart, but...

If even the slightest flaw
is found in their daily actions,
they must desperately make excuses.

Because they think, “I myself am never wrong.”

In other words,
a lack of mental space equals a negative state of mind.
that is what it becomes.

To accept yourself as well,
first, express words of gratitude to others
and let yourself accept them.

Precisely because everyone makes mistakes,
focusing on the good parts of others instead
and expressing gratitude
is proof of a much healthier mindset.

✔ Reconfirming
　your feelings of gratitude

Even without saying words of gratitude,
there are people who always hold feelings of gratitude
in their hearts.

Certainly, for those who act
while holding feelings of gratitude,
those who can see it will understand.

However, if anything,
expressing words of gratitude
allows you to better
reconfirm your own feelings of gratitude.

"So this is where I feel gratitude."

It is important to"put into words"and
reconfirm those feelings.

Because you feel gratitude concretely,
you can think, "I want to express my gratitude even more."
That is why.

Not just once, but twice, three times...

You should say "thank you"
to the other person as many times as possible.

And the other person, too,
is saved by those words of gratitude.

Because they can feel that
"you are holding feelings of gratitude for them."

Rather than "I received words of gratitude,"
"I am continuing to hold feelings of gratitude"don't you think it is better
to have them feel that?

As a wise reader,
I believe there is only one action you should take.

* * * * *

Words of gratitude have no meaning
unless you keep expressing them.

Please tell the other person
again and again.

That is for their sake,
and it is also for yours.

It is precisely because you express gratitude
that you can continue to feel grateful.

As a result, waiting ahead
is a staircase
to lead your life in a better direction.

If you do not say it,
nothing will begin.

Thank you
for reading this far.

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.
