Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellen

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of appreciation in our relationships with others. When we genuinely appreciate the excellence or positive qualities in someone else, we not only acknowledge and uplift them but also enrich ourselves. By recognizing greatness in others, we create a connection or ownership of their qualities, allowing us to grow and be inspired. Appreciation breeds positivity, connection, and encourages a mindset of gratitude and recognition of the good in others.

Alec leaned into him, pinning Magnus between the table and his own body. Not that Magnus seemed to mind.'Come on,' Alec said against Magnus's ear. 'It's late. Let's go to bed.
