Hey ,

So today, I just want to talk a little bit about gratitude, but from a deeper angle. Not just the regular “thank you” that has become so common that it sometimes feels empty. I am talking about gratitude with honor.

A lot of people understand that it’s important to appreciate others, and yes, that is very true. We should always be grateful to people who have helped us, supported us, encouraged us, and stood by us in different seasons of our lives. Not just for what they did, but for who they are to us.

But here’s the thing. Saying “thank you” does not always mean you are truly grateful.

Sometimes, people just say thank you because it is the right thing to say. Because society expects it. Because it is polite. But there is no depth in it. No weight. No real intention behind it.

Gratitude with honor is different.

Gratitude with honor means that when you say thank you, the person actually feels it. They understand that you truly mean it. It is not just in your words, it is in your attitude, your tone, your actions, and sometimes, even in your consistency.

Be grateful with honor to God.  

Be grateful with honor to your parents.  

To your siblings.  

To your friends.  

To your partner.  

To your colleagues and your boss.  

Even to the person that helps you carry something. The person that sells to you. The one that gives you a ride.

There are people in your life who have shown up in ways you may never fully explain. People who have prayed for you, covered you, encouraged you, checked up on you, and supported you when you didn’t even ask for it.

Please don’t reduce all of that to a casual and empty “thank you” and move on.

If you are going to be grateful, let it be with honor.

And when I say honor, I am not talking about impressing them with money or gifts you cannot afford. I am talking about intention. I am talking about sincerity. I am talking about expressing it in a way the other person can understand and truly feel.

Because what is the point of communication if the person on the other side cannot feel what you are trying to say?

Quick update on the newsletter, there was a little mix-up yesterday because of the plan I was on with my platform. I’ve upgraded it now so I can serve you better, and everything has been fixed.

That’s all for today. Talk to you tomorrow.

Your Fave,

Darasimi
