The power of saying "Thank You"

thelastmuse · 02-12-2009, 10:04 PM

I wasn't known as someone who will say "thank you" to people who have done me favors. But when I read books on the Law of Attraction, I noticed that saying "Thank You" has a powerful effect in my business and my personal life.

Example:

1. After our wedding, I sent out a personalized Thank You cards to all our suppliers with our website address and email at the back. A few weeks later, we got some clients and when asked how they find us, they said our caterer referred them to us.

2. After completing a project for a client, I usually take the time to thank them through email. As a result, I get repeat projects.

3. I get bright smiles from people I say thank you to. Some of them strike a conversation with me and end up asking for my business card.

I just noticed that I feel better when I say thank you and I start to smile a lot, too. Sometimes I get comments that I look so happy and carefree. I just say, because I am grateful for some many things in my life.

If you haven't been practicing the art of saying "Thank You," start today. You'll instantly see the difference!

Hello Omari Taylor here,

Great post. Saying "thank you" and being grateful for everything in life is definitely the best way to bring you happiness and more of the things you want in life. Saying "thank you" has really made a big difference in my life as well.

jayden.fellze · 02-13-2009, 07:46 AM

Yes..saying thank you is a very powerful word. It can ease up emotions and can attract people as well.

dorothydot · 02-13-2009, 08:26 AM

Agreed. The power of a grateful "Thank You" plants seeds far and wide. Sometimes I even include a little handmade tatted snowflake for the person - a visual reminder of a Thank You from the past.

It's a very easy thing to do, and the results can be unexpectedly huge.

Planting seeds that could sprout into projects at any time... this is what marketing is all about, isn't it?

Great Post! My aunt always empasized the importance of saying thank you and please. My aunt told me that it will help you in life. I am grateful for everything positive that have happened to me. My friends, family and associates who have contributed to my life in anyway will always receive thanks from me.

deezine · 02-13-2009, 09:33 AM

Absolutely, saying thank you and expressing gratitude in your everyday life, is a wonderful and positive way to "reap what you sow" concept.

In fact I believe that is why so many people miss out on opportunities because of this very concept of expressing gratitude.

Amber_Writes · 02-13-2009, 02:10 PM

That is one quality that I have been sure to instill in my children, although they are still only toddlers. Saying 'please' and 'thank you' is not only having good manners, but it also creates a positive aurora around you, at least that's my opinion. Doing so seems to draw positive things to you and not only that, but people are more drawn to a person who expresses gratitude.

marketingmonster · 02-13-2009, 03:07 PM

Thank you. This is something most of us don't say but the universe will bring GREAT things. In my opinion, we should be grateful for everything we have ... you'll be surprised what happens when you just say ... thanks.

Catman · 02-13-2009, 03:16 PM

I love seeing another testament to the power of an attitude of gratitude! Thank you for sharing.

When given sincerely, the benefits and blessings that will flow out of it are incalculable!

Glad to have read the post. Thank you.

In fact, I even give more effort to those customers of mine that say "thank you" for my support. They don't have to say these magic words, but when they do, they get back more from me in the end.

i agree with you yoshimi...power of "thank you" absolutely awesome.

Bruce NewMedia · 02-17-2009, 01:06 AM

This is WAY more powerful than most people realize. Most people just don't get thanked much at all.

Mike said: "I believe there is great personal affirmation and internal strength that comes from being grateful and expressing that, even in the simple, "Thank you."

Hi Muse,

My Grandma was Native American. Her whole philosophy on living was based on two principles: Giving and Gratitude.

Your post above really says it all. You go the extra mile and give thanks, and everybody benefits.

Thanks for sharing, it meant a lot to me today.

DBofBES · 02-17-2009, 03:49 PM

Great postings! So few people really say Thank You and really mean it. What a difference it makes when it is heart felt.

On the other end of the equation - how do you feel when people thank you? Do you say, "Oh, no need to thank me." or something along those lines? I had to learn how to accept a Thank You graciously and to let them know I appreciated their kind words.

Michael Masade Jr. · 02-17-2009, 04:08 PM

Thank YOU for such a lovely post... It makes all the difference when it's actually not just about money all the time... But for the love of life itself.

Thank You!

tanya7zhou · 02-18-2009, 11:58 AM

You guys rock honestly!!!! Great post by the way thelastmuse

Thank You Is A Very Powerful Word. Great Names come to mind like one of the richest King, King David. He was known of being thankful all the times. He was so rich that his son King Solomon became more richer. He was victorious, powerful and is always remembered from generation to generation because he was a Thankful King

Great Guys Like Jesus were known by their signatures before meals. His signature was giving thanks before he eats anything. One day there were in a semi darkroom. No one couldn't see who he was, but when he broke bread and gave thanks, everyone in the building knew who he was.

TerryAllison · 02-21-2009, 06:27 PM

I agree that saying 'Thank you' is very important.

One of my pet peeves is when you open the door for someone, and they don't even acknowledge you. It makes you feel like you were supposed to open the door for them, like they are royalty or something. Sometimes it makes me feel like closing the door and hit them in the 'you know what'. But I don't. I usually tell them that they are welcome. Sometimes, it reminds people to say 'thank you', and other times not. We really should treat each other better, not because we can get something in return, but because it is the right thing to do.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Terry

RobRamos · 02-21-2009, 07:43 PM

An attitude of gratitude, I agree is very important. It helps you appreciate what you have and what you receive. Also giving or doing is also important, even if another persons attitude does not come from a place of gratitude. the deed itself is sufficient and will attract the best from people you encounter.

SusanPreston · 02-22-2009, 11:15 AM

Thank you for that great post! I also think by saying "thank you", it also is giving the person you're thanking validation.

James12C · 02-22-2009, 12:07 PM

"Thank you" is a real Universe opener. Most days I jot down 20 things I appreciate - in fact I learned it from esther Hicks - Rampage of Appreciation - don't think - just write - anything from the smell of coffee to the guy who sold you a paper, with a smile.... You'll reap dividends!

BabyBlueEyes · 02-23-2009, 12:13 AM

I am truly blessed and favored to associate with the fellow warriors.

And thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts and experiences

rlhenryjr · 02-24-2009, 11:42 AM

I appreciate your post. Many times just replying with "thanks"
shows that you cared enough to respond.
So many people just dont respond any more.
Great post! Thanks for sharing!

Josh T. · 02-25-2009, 02:26 AM

I think an important side note to saying thank you is
the act of saying, "you're welcome".

All too often we get sucked into the much more common
and less gratuitous, "no problem" or if you're in the mob
"fogetta 'boutit".

There is a certain amount of gratitude in saying you're welcome
that is almost as powerful as thank you.

It's like a sincere acknowledgement of someone else's gratitude.

I find saying "you're welcome" to someone expressing their thanks
much more rewarding for my psyche than "no problem".

SEOSteve · 02-27-2009, 04:25 AM

This is absolutely true!

I did some personal coaching about 12 months ago and one of the techniques my coach taught me for improving my life was the simple act of saying "thank you" - genuinely - to people.

She taught me to look for opportunities to thank people - it changed my whole outlook!

It's amazing the difference just two simple words have made in my relationships with other people and indeed my whole life.

Great advice! Easy to overlook 'cause it sounds so simple, but very powerful if you truly take it to heart and practice it!

Thank you for sharing!

Secret Warrior · 02-27-2009, 05:46 AM

Reading all these posts makes me even more grateful to be a part of this wonderful forum! On my birthday this month I received a truley wonderful book to help me on my path to gratitude....It is the 'Secret Gratitude Book' In the pages of this book you can write what you are thankful for in your life every single day....You start out by writing something like 'I am so grateful now that....' The more I say thanks for everything I have in my life right now the more I attract great things and people into it.

Just recently I joined a club that is helping me create the life I desire...for that I am truely thankful....

Thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts.....

cparker · 02-27-2009, 06:56 AM

A recent "Thank You" story that happend to me: I was in the drive through at Starbucks for a morning coffee and that "inner voice" told me I should buy for the car behind me. Well, several days later I went back again.

The ladies that worked in the Starbucks all came to the window to say "Thank You!" They told me that the lady I bought the coffee for several days before just lost her job, she was so sad and depressed, and that me buying for a complete stranger "gave her hope in this economy again."

I have to say...........that was the BEST "Thank You" I have received in a long time!

sparkler1 · 02-27-2009, 07:52 AM

Great post. Thank you.
They are two little words, but very powerful. I recently started a gratitude journal (during a low patch) and it really helped me to realize all the wonderful things in my life. It quickly lifted me out of my doldrums and back to reality. Now, I try to write in it as often as possible and I realize how many good things are coming to me each and every day. I also started a family tradition of each person at the dinner table says "what I was really happy about today....". Usually everyone comes up with several things and it brings smiles all around.

adrianasalmon · 03-03-2009, 01:22 AM

Great post and "thank You" for sharing

Curtis007 · 03-03-2009, 07:17 AM

I always try to say "Thank you" instead of just "Thanks". It has more of an effect from what I have found.

The world would be a FAR better place if people just LEARN to say 'Thank You' and not be full of themselves. Carry the Torch.

Indeed, those two words are magical. They can literally get us whatever we want.

MsDebra · 03-11-2009, 10:07 PM

Funny that I ran across this post tonight. Earlier I was at the local Walmart and the cashier just handed me my bags without saying "thank you". I looked at her and said, "You're welcome". She never caught the hint! She said, "See you later". I think that retail stores have stopped training their employees to use this common courtesy. Store clerks act as if they are doing the customer a favor. I am big on saying, "thank you" just because it's the best way to show appreciation. Families should say it to each other, too. It keeps family members from feeling they are being taken for granted.

ricaparaleho · 05-03-2009, 09:07 AM

An easy thing to forget in the midst of our frenzied lives is the simple act of saying "thank you." Who has the time to slow down for such old-fashioned pleasantries? And yet, by incorporating a thank-you strategy into your marketing, I promise you'll reap immense rewards.

Warrior Globetrotter · 05-03-2009, 10:53 AM

Thankfulness is a quality I am trying to cultivate in myself currently...thankfulness for everything...my health, apartment everything...i believe being thankful is the key to happiness actually!

honestbizpro · 05-03-2009, 04:02 PM

I make it a point to say I am thankful as the day begins.

When you have a thankful attitude it somehow drains and melts away stresses.

That's one of the main ingredients for me. According to the laws of attraction, you have to always think with a positive twist. This, for me, is how I begin my day in doing that. Great post!

Great post by the way thelastmuse Thank You Is A Very Powerful Word. Great Names come to mind like one of the richest King, King David. He was known of being thankful all the times. He was so rich that his son King Solomon became more richer. He was victorious, powerful and is always remembered from generation to generation because he was a Thankful King Great Guys Like Jesus were known by their signatures before meals. His signature was giving thanks before he eats anything. One day there were in a semi darkroom. No one couldn't see who he was, but when he broke bread and gave thanks, everyone in the building knew who he was.

One of my pet peeves is when you open the door for someone, and they don't even acknowledge you. It makes you feel like you were supposed to open the door for them, like they are royalty or something. Sometimes it makes me feel like closing the door and hit them in the 'you know what'. But I don't. I usually tell them that they are welcome. Sometimes, it reminds people to say 'thank you', and other times not. We really should treat each other better, not because we can get something in return, but because it is the right thing to do. Thank you. Sincerely, Terry

It helps you appreciate what you have and what you receive. Also giving or doing is also important, even if another persons attitude does not come from a place of gratitude. the deed itself is sufficient and will attract the best from people you encounter.

I also think by saying "thank you", it also is giving the person you're thanking validation.

Ninja Assassin War Room Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 179 Thanks: 22 Thanked 41 Times in 23 Posts Social Networking	Re: The power of saying "Thank You" I think an important side note to saying thank you is the act of saying, "you're welcome". All too often we get sucked into the much more common and less gratuitous, "no problem" or if you're in the mob "fogetta 'boutit". There is a certain amount of gratitude in saying you're welcome that is almost as powerful as thank you. It's like a sincere acknowledgement of someone else's gratitude. I find saying "you're welcome" to someone expressing their thanks much more rewarding for my psyche than "no problem".

I did some personal coaching about 12 months ago and one of the techniques my coach taught me for improving my life was the simple act of saying "thank you" - genuinely - to people. She taught me to look for opportunities to thank people - it changed my whole outlook! It's amazing the difference just two simple words have made in my relationships with other people and indeed my whole life. Great advice! Easy to overlook 'cause it sounds so simple, but very powerful if you truly take it to heart and practice it! Thank you for sharing! Steve

On my birthday this month I received a truley wonderful book to help me on my path to gratitude....It is the 'Secret Gratitude Book' In the pages of this book you can write what you are thankful for in your life every single day....You start out by writing something like 'I am so grateful now that....' The more I say thanks for everything I have in my life right now the more I attract great things and people into it. Just recently I joined a club that is helping me create the life I desire...for that I am truely thankful.... Thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts.....

Well, several days later I went back again. The ladies that worked in the Starbucks all came to the window to say "Thank You!" They told me that the lady I bought the coffee for several days before just lost her job, she was so sad and depressed, and that me buying for a complete stranger "gave her hope in this economy again." I have to say...........that was the BEST "Thank You" I have received in a long time!

sparkler1 Warrior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 15 Thanks: 1 Thanked 3 Times in 1 Post	Re: The power of saying "Thank You" Great post. Thank you. They are two little words, but very powerful. I recently started a gratitude journal (during a low patch) and it really helped me to realize all the wonderful things in my life. It quickly lifted me out of my doldrums and back to reality. Now, I try to write in it as often as possible and I realize how many good things are coming to me each and every day. I also started a family tradition of each person at the dinner table says "what I was really happy about today....". Usually everyone comes up with several things and it brings smiles all around.
