Uplifting

Our world is so full of negative input, and we rarely get compliments from other people… especially sincere ones. For me, I believe it’s one of the keys to anyone’s heart. When we do get a compliment, it doesn’t just make us feel great about ourselves but it also makes us feel wonderful about the person who gave it to us. I mean, think about it. When your sweetie says, “I love your adobo…”, it not only makes you feel appreciated and loved but it makes you feel more loving, too. Or when a friend tells you, “Hey, that color looks good on you…”, it’s enough to turn your entire shitty day around.

Compliments are so easy to give, take so little time to say, and they’re absolutely free! They’re powerful. You only have to make the tiniest effort to say them. And give someone a reason to smile.
