These two words changed my life and will help you too.

I used to think about how small things change people’s life. But you know only small things can change your life.

It sounds complicated. Right?

To ease you here, the best thing I could do is to share my own story.

A few months back, I read a book called “The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.” The book focuses on one thing that is Gratitude.

I read that book, it sounds interesting initially, and I decided to follow it throughout my file.

A few moments later, I was back to normal (my comfort zone). The Comfort zone is the worst zone to stay in.

I was implementing nothing from the book that we all do. Read books but never implement the lessons in our life.

Two months ago, I went to the grocery store and bought a coca cola bottle, and there was an offer going on with one 2 ltr bottle, one oz glass was free.

I asked about the glass after buying the 2 ltr bottle.

He replied disappointedly, “Sorry dear, I think I don’t have any glass remaining.”

I was a little disappointed too, but I patiently replied with a smile, “No worries uncle Ji! Thank you for the bottle.”

Thereafter, I left the shop.

I heard a known voice from behind, and when looked back. It was uncle Ji’s voice.

He was shouting from his shop, “Hey, son! Wait a minute.”

I saw that he was shaking his hand in the air and asking me to return to the shop.

I returned and asked politely, “What happened, uncle Ji?”

He said, “the new order is on his way and will be here in a minute. Just wait a minute, and I will give you one glass from the new stock.”

I was surprised. I said. “It’s okay uncle Ji. It’s not a big deal. I was here for a Coca-Cola bottle, and I got it.”

He urged me to wait for a minute.

A truck stooped near the shop, and the first thing uncle Ji did was ask for the Coca-Cola stock and took two oz glasses from his newly arrived stock.

He offered me two oz glasses.

After reaching home, I was confused about how someone can do so much for a stranger.

I thought it was a coincidence.

I told all these things to my friends, and even he was not sure why things went that way.

He accidentally said, is it because of your “Thank You.” I was like “maybe”.

We then decided to experiment with saying, “Thank you” for all the service we are going to receive in future.

The result was incredible.

In the first month, things were okay, but as time passes, we realized that we had a strong relationship with all the people we said Thank You to.

Subsequently, we are getting discounts on many things, and sometimes even we were getting additional offers. The most important point here is we are getting the priority treatment.

All these things happened just because of two magical words, i.e., “Thank You.”

I now deeply believe that a smile on your face and the two magical words thank you can change your life. It did for me, and I am sure it will help you too.

And you know the most important point, it costs nothing.
