Say “Thank You” 💰💰💰

Why Saying "Thank You" Can Be Harder Than You Think - and Why That’s a Problem that must have a solution

Let’s talk about something we all know but don’t always like discussing: GRATITUDE. Specifically, why some folks find it downright impossible to say “thank you.” You might think, “What’s the big deal? It’s just two little words!” But oh, my friend, it’s often a whole lot more complicated than that.

You see, when someone can’t muster up a simple “thank you,” it can be a sign of deeper issues think spite, jealousy, or just plain unwillingness to support others. It’s kind of like dimming your own light because you’re afraid someone else might shine a little brighter. Stop it! Snap out of it! Wake the f#@& up!: this mindset doesn’t only rob the other person of their moment; it robs you of your own happiness, too. Let’s dive into this, shall we?

The Silent Struggle: Bad mind and grudgeful

Picture this: Sarah just snagged a promotion at work. Super exciting, right? She’s practically bursting to share the news. But when she tells her colleague Emily, Emily just stares blankly, offering nothing but crickets in response. Ouch! Sarah feels a little deflated, and Emily? Well, she’s trapped in her own web of envy, convinced that celebrating Sarah’s success somehow diminishes her own worth. Why didn't she get a promotion, after all they both started the job at the same time and do the same roll.

It’s a classic case of “if I acknowledge your win, it makes me look bad because I feel bad.” But here’s the actual truth: Emily’s silence isn’t just stealing Sarah’s thunder, it’s also robbing Emily of joy, connection and great work workmanship. When we can’t bring ourselves to celebrate others, we’re essentially throwing a wet blanket over our own happiness then and blocking future beautiful experiences from coming to us.

What you give always comes back to you double.

Think about it, what kind of vibe do you want to create in your life? A space filled with high-fives and heartfelt congratulations, or a dull, gray atmosphere where compliments go to die? When gratitude is absent, it creates a toxic environment where negativity thrives. It’s like trying to grow a garden in the shade, nothing flourishes, only the fungi!

Let’s say someone finally musters the courage to say “thank you,” only to be met with silence or indifference. That’s not just a missed opportunity for connection; it’s a lost chance for both parties to feel good. We’re wired for connection, and expressing gratitude is one of the easiest ways to foster that and so much more.

Out of the Abundance of the Heart, the Mouth Speaks

What’s really in your heart? Open up to Love and gratitude

Now, let’s get real for a moment. The reluctance to say “thank you” often stems from how we see ourselves. If you view yourself as a perpetual underdog or a victim of bad luck, acknowledging someone else’s kindness can feel like admitting defeat or for whatever reason you feel they are showing off and showing you up. It’s a slippery slope into a scarcity mindset, where you think there’s not enough success or love to go around.

Take Michael, for instance. He’s an incredibly talented artist, but when someone compliments his work, he brushes it off like a pesky fly. Why? Because he’s convinced that accepting praise means he’s somehow admitting he needs it or he may feel he deep down doesn't deserve it. By refusing to acknowledge kindness, he’s not just alienating potential supporters; he’s dimming his own brilliance and inadvertently teaching others how to treat him (as not needing any thank yous or support).

The Power of Thank You

Here’s where it gets interesting. Saying “thank you” isn’t just about being polite; it’s about embracing abundance. When we express gratitude, we flip the script from scarcity to plenty. We start creating a world where success, love, and joy are not just reserved for a select few but are available for everyone.

Imagine if Emily had congratulated Sarah instead of staying quiet. Not only would Sarah feel celebrated, but Emily would also experience a little boost in her own mood, breaking free from that nasty cycle of envy. It’s in those moments of connection that we truly let our light shine.

Check yu-self before you wreck yu-self,

So, as you navigate your day-to-day interactions, think about those times you’ve held back a “thank you.” What kept you silent? Was it jealousy? A fear of vulnerability? Here’s a cheeky thought: maybe it’s time to flip the script.

Embracing gratitude isn’t just good for the soul; it’s like a magic key that unlocks a treasure chest of love, abundance and happiness. Each “thank you” you express is a little gem you add to your life, creating a ripple effect of positivity that lifts everyone around you.

So, the next time you feel that urge to keep your gratitude to yourself, pause for a moment. Reflect. The world is ready for and needs your light. Allow it to shine, and see how it transforms not only your life but the lives of those around you. Glow Goddess Glow🌟✨💫
