Appreciation: The Glue of Relationship

CONSIDER THIS...
APPRECIATION: We All Respond To It

---We ALL know that Appreciation means to Understand and to Accept. This is the Process that enhances another. As one is enhanced, ALL his Relationships are improved, also. So, Understanding and Accepting one person has an accumulative affect on ALL that that person does. We can see how essential this is, as it affects everybody involved in such a positive way.
---If you wish to make ANY Relationship better, you have to increase the Understanding and Acceptance. As was stated earlier, this is a process of Love. So, to become better at being Loving, Caring and the Like, one should become more Understanding and Accepting. You work on ''getting'' the person you are relating to. You ''hear'' them when they communicate. You ''know'' where they are coming from. You don't try to change them. You Accept them as they are. You are Loving them as they are, and it is more of the Unconditional variety.

---APPRECIATION Improves ALL That We Touch-----

---Sometimes, we try to change someone to fit our ''idea'' of what we ''think'' they should be. This really is only a projection of our own ''MIND,'' super-imposed on someone. [the operative word being- imposed.] We may mean well, but it is really conveying to that person that he is unacceptable in his present form. You are really putting on a pressure and laying your own ''trip'' upon him. It really is ''your'' problem and not his. When we Appreciate someone, we don't appreciate what we think he should become, we Appreciate who he is.
---When we stay in the moment with the person, we are acknowledging that he also has the ability within himself to see what it truly is you see within him. He can then choose to apply it or ignore it. In any case, he is improved. I only say this because if something true for him is seen, then it WILL take hold and
germinate. Denying it won't make a whole lot of sense. Understanding and Acceptance will increase for ALL concerned, eventually. Then we have an eventual increase in Appreciation. Then, of course, in the over-all Relationship. When given the proper nutrients, ALL seeds of truth come to pass. Be Well.
