Oh Gratitude. I know the look , the look you have on your face , You may be going like, ” This guy is insane , it’s like self improvement talk”
Hang on …
Do you remember , in first or second article , I told you that , very little, tiny things make huge difference.
Gratitude is one of them. It’s amazing tool.
You read an article , book , watch video , podcast , webinar anything , even though you got small help , just stop and express the gratitude.
And I don’t mean just write fake comments or say one dimensional flat comments like ,
It’s nice , It’s Cool , It’s awesome.
That’s not gratitude , even though you mean it.
You need to add because clause to it.
ALWAYS SPECIFY WHY ???
Why you are grateful?
How exactly it helped you?
Why do you think it’s really helpful ?
What new thing you find out ?
What specific part you liked most and why?
How it can be useful to others?
Never ever comment , Like hey its nice ,it’s awesome .
Two of my best friends , they are amazing at giving feedback or comment. Right at the point , actually I learned from them.
They always have the reason why something is good , nice ,better ,awesome.
It doesn’t take 30 minutes to comment or express gratitude. It really doesn’t.
Sometimes we take so many things for granted and it’s really dangerous place to be.
There are amazing people in animation industry , who are taking their valuable time to share amazing things with us almost at no cost.
It’s actually so magical. We should be grateful for it.
Animation Mentor , Clay’s Animation Podcast, Spline Doctors , Speaking of Animation , 11 second’s club , Keith Lango Animation and I could go on and on.
They have created such incredible resource for all of us , while pursuing our career in animation , it’s just amazing.
Incredible podcasts , ecritiques, webinars, interviews, newsletters, videos, inspiring articles, work.
It’s all flooded with great inspiration , passion, guidance. It’s beautiful.
See all those we get help from , they are working hard do all those things for us , they are taking time out so that they could spread valuable knowledge.
And everyone who you get help from deserves a real gratitude.
Believe me , you tell someone how something has helped you or why you liked it.
He will have even more enthusiasm to create even more.
Don’t you think , one who helps, deserves a real Gratitude?
I hope your answer is , “Yes”
So from now on, you find something helpful .
No matter how busy you are express the real gratitude or come back and express the real gratitude.
Gratitude is the way to bring even more into our lives ..
