Give honest and sincere appreciation.

When you give honest and sincere appreciation, you will lift the other person’s spirits and give them something to treasure for years to come. These actions will also improve your relationship with them.

1. Write down, “I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
   Place this saying somewhere you pass frequently—your bedroom mirror or kitchen fridge, for example.

2. Express your appreciation for others.
   Take time to truly consider the good qualities of others. Then let them know how much you appreciate them.
