Appreciation is clearly a positive action. When you appreciate something or someone, you are directing positive energy into the universe. That can only benefit you with positive energy coming back to you. That is a basis of the Law of Attraction (LOA).
Perhaps you are not a believer in such principles as LOA. You think it is hokum, and that the universe does not have a points system of sorts. However, it has been shown time and again that when people put out positive energy, they receive that in kind. The same is true for negative energy.
Even if you are not a believer, what can it hurt to direct positivity into the world? Your small circle of friends and your family will notice it. That is enough to validate staying positive and appreciate those smaller things in your life.
Negativity surrounds you. It is so easy to get swallowed up in it. The news reports seem to show nothing but bad news on every channel. It is gotten worse with the increase of the internet. Someone can post a negative tweet, hundreds of people see it, then share it so the list of people seeing it grows into thousands.
Because the internet allows people to post comments anonymously, that makes matters worse. People would never say to someone’s face the negative garbage they write but, have no trouble spewing it on the internet. LOA works on the internet as well. People who post negative messages will find them returned. They cannot hide in their anonymity either. The universe has a way of bringing it back to them.
If you are one to say or post negative messages, think about the impact that has on others. It is hurtful, and it will affect them negatively. On the other hand, think about how wonderful those people would feel if you posted something nice about them. You should not make up these attributes. They should be true.
You should be able to find something nice to say about others. There is an old saying that if you cannot find something nice to say about someone, do not say anything at all. People should incorporate this saying and live by it, especially on the internet.
If you believe that the small items do not make a difference concerning LOA, think about the number of people that are alive on the planet. There are over six billion people. If everyone projected his or her appreciation for one small item, that would be a massive surge of positive energy.
