Enriching Life Is The Core Need
- Marshall Rosenberg defines our deepest human need as the need to enrich life moment by moment.
- Gratitude confirms that need was met but is not itself a need to be pursued as approval.
Celebrate — Don't Reward With Thanks
- Never offer gratitude as a reward or to manipulate someone's self-esteem; reserve it as pure celebration.
- Give gratitude only to celebrate how someone enriched life, not to build confidence.
Use Observation, Feeling, Need In Thanks
- When expressing gratitude use three elements: a clear observation, present feeling, and the fulfilled need.
- Make these elements concrete so the other person can identify what they did and why it mattered.
