Well I just came across this quote and it really hit me hard... What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it-would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. Ralph Marston What do you think of it?

Maybe it's not the best quote or the most striking one, but the meaning is absolutely true. The comparison presented does not follow a rigurous logic. Well, some would say "you don't really appreciate something until you have lost it". That's true, we all experienced that at least once in our life and it was not a very positive feeling, was it? We have to look around from time to time and see the real values among things and people that surround us. And possibly speak out load our findings, when we discover true virtues or true beauty of spirit.

Amen to that. Alot of people need to go by these guidelines in life. It seems alot of people have strayed away from the kindness to others. Everyone is too busy with their own lives, to just stop and show greatfulness or kindness to one another. I think I would at least like to be thanked for the gift.

I saw that in the group. lol I think it says a lot! Just like if you think negatively, you will always have negativity in your life, but if you think positively about everything, you will always have good in your life. I think you have to appreciate your home, family, and everything you have in order to have more good things come into your life.

I love quotes and use them all the time in scrapbooking and other papercrafts. I have seen that one before. And I agree that you do need to appreciate what you have. It's all part of the law of attraction and just plain old good karma. But I will say that I have given gifts, more than once, to people who might not of said thank you for the first one. Sometimes people really are surprised or touched by something you did, but might be uncomfortable about saying something to you. So, I will still help them out regardless. Maybe I am too soft hearted. That is until they do something negative or mean to me, i.e. lie to me or involve me in one. Then I will distance myself from them.
