The acknowledgment you may receive for your hard work could make you feel appreciated today. It might not only be the validation that you receive that brightens your spirit but also the gratitude you have toward the people in your life and the fact that their support makes your efforts possible. Perhaps you can express this feeling of appreciation to the universe and the people in your life in some way to today. As you let others know what they mean to you, you might imagine that you are speaking directly from your heart. If you can let the words flow from your heart, they will be more sincere and will convey the deepest emotions that you feel. Others will more genuinely understand the depth of your gratitude as a result.

Real appreciation comes from our hearts. Even if we feel thankful for something, it is only when we use the energy of our heart center that we are able to express our true feelings to others. Many of us get so used to expressing our thanks for so many things-both small and large-that the words become almost automatic. Consciously giving thanks and really meaning it, however, is something that comes from a much deeper place within the core of our being. By allowing your heart to express your gratitude to the universe and the people who have helped you today, you will show how much you truly appreciate everything you have received.
