Why Appreciation Matters

Written By Colēgia

Appreciation is a fantastic life quality to have. It demonstrates that we are able to express how much we care and share it with the world. Today we want to do a deep dive into why appreciation is a good thing and why it's important.

Cherishing Experiences

There are many different things we will experience throughout our lives. Some of which may last a long time, while others are only temporary. It's good to bear in mind that each experience can affect us in unique ways. Learning from each of these and finding the value in them can help lead us to a more appreciative mindset. Optimism is one such way we can look at the different events happening in our lives. Being able to see things from a better perspective is good because we can choose to have positivity be the reigning factor in our lives. Some events might seem like we want them to go by faster, such as a required book for reading in a class, or a subject we might not be into. Finding ways to see the value in these events is good because there may come a point in life where we might wish we tried to see things differently. Experience can build us into a better person, it's simply a matter of putting gratitude at the forefront.

“Optimism is one such way we can look at the different events happening in our lives.”

Valuing People

There will be people from all sorts of walks that we meet and learning to value them is incredibly important. Our friends are a great example of this because there will be many instances where we may not know the same person several years from now. There are many reasons why this can be the case, from moving, to pursuing different interests, to simply growing apart. This is the natural state of life and being aware of this is good because it allows us to think about it in a different manner. Rather than trying to make every friendship be permanent, we can go down the route of deeply appreciating people when they are in our lives. It's good to recognize that some relationships last longer than others and that they require both sides to put in the effort, but gratitude itself can be done at any time. Something as simple as telling someone you care about them can lead to positive change within their lives.

Making a Difference

The people and experiences within our lives help shape us into who we are. Understanding that each situation and person has their own value both within their life and ours can show us a newfound appreciation for the world. Everyone goes through their own challenges and being able to work on gratitude can help us handle these. Appreciation can be done in both an outward and inward manner and each of them can make a difference in someone else's life and our own. Ultimately, this sense of gratitude takes time to work on and while it can be difficult at times, it can help us in many ways.
