These people are our parents, siblings, loved one’s or spouse and friends. The feeling and love that we have for them can’t be expressed easily. It often happens that you cannot even let the person know how much you love them. Generally, this happens in case of parent-child relations where expression of feeling is taken for granted. This even happens in relationships when you think that the other person might not feel the same for you.
Whether you express or not, you keep on taking efforts and doing things which would make the other person happy. People take a lot of efforts just to make things easy for their loved ones and sometimes just for a smile that is priceless to them.
You must have come across situations where a person is going out of their way to do something for you. That’s their way of saying how much they value you. A simple request to text or call them once you reach safely somewhere is an effort. Working hard to get you things you like is another example of an effort. Getting worried when you are low or sick and taking care of you is also an effort. Your parents’ working day and night throughout their life just to provide you with every possible comfort and luxury is an effort, and surely needs no explanation.
You’ll see that people whom you have relation with, do things selflessly for you. They don’t take these efforts because they want something from you, otherwise it would corrupt the sanctity of a true relation. Neither do they expect you to take the similar efforts for them. All that is required from you in acknowledgement of someone’s efforts is value. You just have to value the efforts and feelings of the person taking them. Valuing these efforts is as important in any relation as it is to exhale after inhaling.
Every relationship goes through ups and downs; there comes time when people are compelled to think of letting go. When in spite of this a person holds on to you, that’s where efforts are and only you valuing it will ensure that your relation with them never ends.
One hand cannot clap alone, similarly to make any relationship work, there has to be something from both the ends. If someone is taking efforts, then valuing them can be referred to as the other hand in applaud. Efforts and its value can be related to every small and big moments shared in any relation. There will always be at least one person in a relation taking those efforts and if there is no value from other person, then there is nothing such as relationship amongst them.
Valuing someone’s effort is something that will come to you naturally if the relationship really matters to you. It doesn't require you to go out of your way to value something done by someone. It takes just a smile, praise or a mere acknowledgement of what their effort means to you. Sometimes people really go through a lot to make you happy. So as long as there is this effort and its value in a relationship, it is going to be a perpetual one.
