This seems really obvious, but for lots of reasons saying thanks well is an art. Like a muscle to be developed.
I’ve being consciously trying to develop this practice of saying thanks, because it’s just good manners.
Appropriate.
The right thing to do.
I’m not referring to the kind of thanks you say immediately after you’re on the receiving end of generosity from another human. 99% of us already do that.
And not the kind of thanks you say just before you’re about to ask a human for more (and you realise you didn’t practically express gratitude the first time).
I mean the thanks that comes in between the start and end.
During those in between times.
When enough time has passed after that initial generosity. And well before it comes time, for whatever reason, that you find yourself blessed with even more generosity from this same human.
Kind of like a kid thanking their parents for a Christmas present in June.
This posture of gratitude lacks agenda and is rich in authenticity.
It’s a habit I’m consciously working on developing in myself throughout 2020. My gut tells me that despite the lack of agenda, this posture will create immense value in relation to both my personal relationships, and in our Forever Projects vision and mission moving forward.
Perhaps an authentic and genuine thank you during these in between times is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help potential energy become kinetic…..
