This blog post is not just about fashion but about life in general and Making a Difference by Starting #Iappreciateyoumovement is something I have been thinking about for a while now. I have been noticing a lot of negativity around me like people complaining about everything here and there. That kept me thinking why do they do this? It was made crystal clear that most of the people are not being appreciated.

I am currently re-reading the book of Dale Carnegie “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and he clearly stated there this. The deepest urge in human nature is “desire is to be important. This desire makes you want to wear the latest styles, drive the latest cars, and talk about your brilliant children. So he stated on the book to show people they are important is to show sincere appreciation.

Greatest example of it was my brother. He was really excelling in school for consistent year and every year my parents failed to show up on recognition days and I will be the one there with him to accept his award. Of course for his young mind, he was proud of his achievements and wanting my parents to be proud of him too. Then after a few years, he started not excelling in school and now thought about this quote “If you don’t show your appreciation to those who deserve it, They’ll learn to stop doing the things you appreciate.” -from pinterest

And another good example is “A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected.” I was always being noticed by my father when I was younger that I love to draw and he always tells me I really draw good and I can be an artist in the future. That kept me practicing more and even competing in some poster making contests in school. My effort is being recognized and that is a greatest feeling.

So today, I am starting #Iappreciateyoumovement because I want you to “Be Somebody who makes everybody feel like Somebody.” I encouraged you share this post if you really like this and start spreading this positive vibe throughout our community. I suggest get a sticky note pad and give it to somebody that you truly appreciate and start seeing the big difference (in a good way). By showing someone how you appreciate them, you are making that persons day and I bet it will make our day too knowing you made someone feel important equals both of you being happy.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

Simply,

Christianne
