Many of us have coined the cliché ‘I appreciate you’ – so what are we truly saying…umh! It causes one to think -- if I’ve included this phrase in my list of clichés then I need to know what it really means when I use it. The Webster Dictionary defines appreciation as – adding value. How would you define appreciation? Then, how do you add value to someone or something? What are you bringing to the table that would add additional value to a person or event? We make many statements that we have no application for. How do we appreciate? Is there a formula for appreciation? Is it a desire, or is it something we say just to sound nice? The questions are endless. This book is not designed to be limited to only understanding appreciation, but also to trigger your thinking about quoting and re-quoting clichés that are never backed up with action. There are several practical exercises included in this book that are designed to build your life in this area. Does the ability to appreciate at ‘Eye-Level’ exist? Are we appreciating at ‘Eye-Level’ with future thoughts in mind? What is the potential of the moment or event? You can’t add value for a future event without acknowledging the moment that currently exists. Let’s look further…
