When you post something to a Slack group; it’s hard not to want a reaction.
When you tell someone you’re grateful for them; it’s hard not to want a response.
When you’ve written more than 4,500 blog posts; it’s hard not to want some acknowledgement.
The list goes on in the scenarios that we hope for a reaction or response.
It’s worth reminding ourselves (regularly) that the response and reaction was never the point, never the goal. It’s an afterthought we have that eats at the pride we can have in doing or saying what we did.
When you say “thank you,” Seth is right that it’s a full sentence. It’s also one that needs nothing in return.
