Commitment Number 7: Appreciation
BY ME
I commit to living in appreciation, fully opening to both receiving and giving appreciation.

TO ME
I commit to feeling entitled to what's mine, and resenting when it's not acknowledged in the way I want.
Big Idea:
When you show your appreciation for your employees, for example, you help them gain appreciation for themselves and, in turn, each other. It allows you to see them in a new light, because you'll always be reminding yourself of why you value them in the first place.
Appreciating others is kind of like wine tasting: an experienced wine enthusiast is much better at distinguishing between subtle tastes. Likewise, an experienced appreciator is much better at discerning people's uniqueness, and giving them credit for it! A person who never thinks about wine can't tell the difference between a Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir. So think about what makes your employees special. It'll only help you see (or taste!) more.
