I think before we can appreciate we have to instill mindfulness or a sense of awareness. Without it, our mind is not in the moment, and we can not fully appreciate what is in front of our eyes.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and direct post Carlos, always top notch stuff!

Amen Grace. What's sad is that many times we don't acknowledge them until they're gone.

Sam, first of all, thank you for letting me be a part of this, it was an honor. Jenny and Matt are already amazing company, I can't wait to see who joins us next!

If people can take what I've said and use it to improve their life, then I'm set, I can't ask for more.

Thank you Akhila, I see you as a person who definitely knows how to show appreciation, maybe a reminder is all you need! Just so you know, I don't think I do this enough either, walking the talk is not that simple

I'm echoing Susan because I really like that line: “Appreciation only takes a moment, but it can last forever.”

These little things in life, like appreciating everything you have around you, the fact you have money in your wallet or that you have a lunch to eat today. Things like that usually pass us by…

Carlos: Like I said in my little editor's note up there, I appreciate how you can be so insightful in so few words. I think that people waste so much time making up excuses for why they can't do something. They could have actually done the thing in that time, or at least realized that it's a lot easier than they're making it. Appreciation is easy, and free, and all we have to do is take a look around. You're right, appreciation only takes a moment, but it can last forever. People will keep your kind words with them for a long time.

And, thanks to everyone for commenting. The Revolution is a major success already and we're only on the third post!

Great post, Carlos and thanks to Sam again for starting this wonderful series. I agree, it's free and it can last forever. Small bits of appreciation can make a huge difference in someone's life — especially if that person is less fortunate than yourself.

Honestly, I work for a non-profit, but I don't show enough appreciation in my personal life nor do I really volunteer my time to serve others (other than my internship and activities). I don't always let the people I love know this enough. Thanks for reminding me to work on it!
