"I can live for two months on a good compliment." -Mark Twain
My dear dear friend (and Pennsylvania sistah,) Kristy, has this great thing she does on Facebook. She finds and shares obscure holidays for every single day of the year. Some are hilarious. Some are ridiculous. Some are religious, or patriotic, or honor great men, and some, like today's, are inspired.
Today is Pay-a-Compliment Day!
Love it! Thank you, my sistah, for sharing.
Your task, darlings, is to sprinkle compliments everywhere you go and lift the spirits of the people around you. Take time to notice something nice about each person you encounter daily. We cross so many paths, and hardly look at the people we are interacting with, so this week, resolve to observe. Watch. Pay attention. Look for the light in everyone you see. Share what you find. Tell them they look good, or are so funny, or so intuitive, or whatever great thing you notice about them. Be generous and give compliments freely all week.Be genuine. Be kind. Be real.You might remind someone of a strength they forgot they have or highlight something about themselves they undervalue. You may be saying the only nice thing they hear all day. Compliments magnify a person's strengths. They can give the receiver confidence, hope, happiness, they even can inspire authentic feelings of self love. You can turn someone's whole day around. Sometimes the right words can be life changing and can ripple through someone's life. An honest compliment is a small act of caring that can inspire something bigger. So go for it. Spread the nice. Do it with honesty and compassion. Watch what happens when you plant seeds of confidence.
