“Do You Like It? I Made It Just For You.”

“Do you like it? I made it just for you.”

I saved that quote years ago and came across it a couple of days ago. The idea is instead of just training ourselves to notice and be grateful for the little things in life that touch us — the morning light coming through the window, the sound of birds, the feeling of a gentle breeze brushing your cheek — treat them as precious gifts someone made just for us. Can you picture yourself saying that? If so, what do you think your reaction would be?

When I use that sentence I feel loved, cherished, and cared about. So I would be a fool not to use it more. But I know we’re all built differently and some tools work for some people and not for others. For instance, affirmations are powerful for me, and a lot of people say affirmations make them feel worse — instead of empowering them, affirmations make them feel inadequate.

So what about you? Would “Do you like it? I made it just for you.” work for you too?
