Universal Appreciation Day
Do you realize how hungry all of us are for a word of appreciation? For those moments where we feel that we’re seen, that we’re noticed, that we’re real to someone?
There’s nothing like it. Those little sparks of human connection are like honey to our souls. They nourish us and make us feel, if only for a fleeting moment, more alive, as if we matter, as if we count for something.
What if, tomorrow morning when you woke up, you declared it Universal Appreciation Day? What if you made it your goal to see something amazing in every human being you encountered?
What if you saw their beauty? Their courage? Their loneliness? Their pain? What if you noticed their skill? Their laugh? Their innate wisdom? Their manner? What if you beamed little bolts of recognition to everybody? Even strangers. Even the ones who generally get on your nerves. A word here, a gesture there, a touch, a smile. It wouldn’t take much.
How do you think you would feel when the day was done? How would it change your world?
