The Deepest Craving

Remember this one fact and you will go far in winning with people.

“The deepest craving in human nature 
is the craving to be appreciated.”
~Dale Carnegie


People seek appreciation.  It is a form of validation, and people want validation.  We want to know we matter, that what we do is recognized and appreciated, and we want a little bit of acknowledgement that we tried and it is recognized.

I often wonder how many meals my Mom cooked when she was alive.  Did she know how much that daily task meant when I was growing up?  When we have family reunions we almost always talk about Mom’s cooking and her amazing biscuits and pies. 

Somebody near you needs an acknowledgement today, this very moment in time for some repetitive act that they perform to make your world a bit better.

May I suggest that you find some way of expressing your appreciation? 

They will appreciate your appreciation.

Promise.
