Positive Message No. 7 - Give Compliments!
Hi y'all,
Have been busy this last week or so and have negelected churning out more Positive Messages, so here's a quick one before I dive back into this crazy world....
Give Compliments!
"Nice tie!","Great smile", "you look fabulous", "that was awesome", "I liked your post", "thanks for your help", "Is that a new shirt?", "you were so fast/quick/meticulous/hardworking......:
What's in a compliment you might ask? Well, truth be told, it is an ego booster.......a compliment is what everyone and anyone likes and wants to hear especially from ........from anyone.....people you know and who know you.....people whom you don't know and pass a compliment to you.....doesn't it feel great to get a compliment when you least expect it.......or even better, when you've put in effort and tried your very best at whatever it was you did...
Everybody needs compliments and we should all learn to give a compliment everyday....if you find it dificult, try making up compliments at home......try it with your family and loved ones first before venturing out into the great world........you never know when you have made someone's day by passing a compliment to boost theiir spirits.....some are so tired and when you say something nice, it is truly uplifting and gets them through their day.....some as I've discovered many times and here at WA as well......turns out to be a sign for them to carry on all the hard work they've been putting in......with no rewards.....
No matter if the receiver is not a gracious one or doesn't know how to react.......just smile at them and if you know them well enough......and they are dumbfounded that you have actually given them a compliment, then just smile and say...."thanks would be nice".........."you deserve it......."
Start by setting a goal of, "I will pass 5 compliments to others today".....a goal is always good to put down so that you keep to it.
That's it for now......and......Thank You for taking the time from your busy schedule to drop by and read my blog!
Blessings!

Nice post Dan, thank you for reminding us how compliments are great way to make someone's day. I also like your advice to set a daily goal for giving compliments :-). Thank you Dan
It's my pleasure Tamara. If we can help someone feel happy, indirectly affect their lives and future, or contribute to their success in any small way, by our compliments.....why not....since it's not of any cost to us.......giving is receiving twice over!!!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Loes, now I know why yr hubby has such a wonderful wife. ;)) He sows selflessly and he reaps abundantly. :))

GREAT post Dan...but one word of advice (well, FOUR words!)...make sure they're sincere! Don't say something just to say something because folks will know if you mean it or not.
And while we're at it, don't EVER forget to say "Thank You!" Those are possible the two most powerful words in the English language (or any other language for that matter!)
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog Vince.....what you said it TRUE....it has to be sincere, but some folks don't have the hang of complimenting, so they need to practice.....and 'Thank You'....well that was my Postiive Message No.6....read it when you have the time....
Blessings!

Just one comment can make someones day better. It can diffuse a bad day. It's my goal to help someone everyday.
How right you are Debbi! It can even give someone the lift that they so badly need!!
