Admiration is like sunshine for the soul. It is life-giving and can make the giver and the receiver feel better. Admiration is the result of a worthy exchange. Someone has done or shown something worthwhile or admirable and they receive admiration as a result. People who do nothing worthwhile or do not exchange with others do not get admired. Almost all living things need and want admiration, when admiration is absent, life is very empty and there is no sense of flourishing and prospering.
Those who do not have anything valuable to exchange with others do not get admiration. Since admiration is so valuable, people will try to create effects for others that can be considered worth admiring. They may exhibit themselves in strange ways (TIK TOK), they may dress and act up in ways that will attract attention and hopefully admiration.
People who get admired for what they do or create are encouraged to continue creating so that the admiration will continue. This is true whether what is done is actually worthwhile or not. The desire for admiration is universal and one can manage others by admiring what they do that you need and want.
Admiration is a two-way flow. If you admire someone, they will admire you for recognizing what they are doing. In the process, you will both become happier and more alive. The real secret is that admiration is an exchange of life force and both parties become more alive when it occurs.
If you wish to be admired, keep your exchange in with all parts of life, your neighbors, your pets, people you meet during the day, and distant relatives. When a person goes out of caring communication with people near and far, there are fewer reasons that people will admire them. After a while, a person can go out of communication with everyone and there is no one to admire them for anything. That makes for a very lonely existence.
Some people find pets to admire and be admired by. Admiration makes you more alive, no matter who is doing it. The absence of admiration from anyone means that you have not been doing anything that others should be admiring. This is not a good state to be in and you might want to look at what you are doing and find someone to exchange services and help with. Get back in communication with the world and see who you can help in some way. Provide something that someone else needs and you can earn their admiration.
