Appreciation
I had a moment of clarity today.
I have been a little mean in my head about feeling like I don’t get the appreciation I deserve at work. I’m talking so much negative thoughts going on in my head about my boss not recognizing everything that I do and taken on since this whole pandemic came into play. Then one of my employees confided in me about how she was feeling. Which was basically how I was feeling...she was just directing her frustration at the wrong person.
She was directing her frustrations at the same person I was...which is all fairness she should have been directing it at me. I mean...I should be the one that ensures she feels appreciated every single day...I am her boss.
So after some sadness on my part...I realized I have to be better about showing others just how much I appreciate them. How much I notice exactly what the do each day. It also applies to my personal life...I have to show the people I love just how much they mean to me...and not just assume they know.
Just be the best you can be with others everyday. You never know when it will be the last time you speak. You never know what they might be going through. Make every encounter someone has with you a good one.
Until tomorrow....
