The motivational power of knowing that people care about your efforts cannot be overstated.
It's kind of embarrassing, but it was a real aha for me when I first started giving thoughtful and genuine compliments. It can be like presenting water to someone desert stricken and parched. You can see their spirit rehydrate in real time. And we are all desert stricken and parched.
Giving someone money is maybe the least thoughtful way to show someone you value them but there's no mistaking that you value them when you do.

It seems like a miracle. If you could package the raw power of genuinely giving a shit about people, and seeing their efforts, and recognizing those efforts with words, that pill would be the most highly-controlled substance on Earth. Wars would be fought over it. And yet anyone can do it for free, with the right mindset.

Nicely put.
