THE IMPORTANCE OF RECOGNITION
March 2, 2010
This past Sunday, the Freestyle Fighting Academy and Women Only Fitness Bootcamp held their 6th Annual Awards & Celebration Banquet for their staff and students, and their families and friends. The venue of choice was the exquisite Signature Gardens. The appointed salon was elegant as usual. The lights were appropriately dim; the tables were beautifully set with red wine and flowers, and Kenny G was the favorite to set the final touch on the perfect ambience.
This formal event aims to honor the achievements and hard work of the students throughout the past year. Categories such as “Most Dedicated” and “Rookie of the Year” are among the titles of awards handed out to their deserving athletes.
However, this ceremony is more than just handing out trophies. As the names of the winners are called out and they are invited to the podium to accept their prize in the presence of hundreds of people, something magical happens – something intangible yet priceless. Those few seconds that we are in the spotlight are like sunlight to the human spirit. We feel immortal; larger than life. That feeling of recognition is like chicken soup for the soul…it is necessary to motivate us to be better, and on a deeper level, to help us grow. Humans need to be recognized. They need others to recognize their significance in the world.
So what are you waiting for, get out there and thank someone. Show your appreciation for your fellow human.
