Compliments.

Life is all about giving, its makes us better people, its makes happier people.  When you go through your day today how many people do you encounter that give a friendly smile or a helping hand? and if you dont meet many people that do this why not start with yourself, smile, help someone out, if nothing else it will make you feel great.

From smiling and helping to compliments.  Giving someone a random compliment really can make their day.  Try it and see what happens.  I love nothing more than when I see a beautifully dressed woman to go up to her and tell her how lovely she looks.  We tend to be so insulated in our own little worlds that something as easy as this just breaks us out and gets us to interact with others.   Through my research I believe that is one of the main reasons we are all here on planet earth - to interact with each other (on a harmonious basis of course!).

Now from giving compliments to receiving compliments.  Here's the biggie!!! When someone offers you a compliment what do you do?  Do you receive it graciously and accept it with goodness that it was offered or do you rebuff the compliment and not allow yourself to receive it?

Example:
Me - You look great today, wow, that dress really suits your body, you look beautiful
Friend - What this old thing - you are joking aren't you, its really old and it makes my hips look big....
Me - wow, you just threw that compliment back in my face.....

Women are so busy putting themselves down that when a beautiful compliment comes their way they totally miss it.  I feel so strongly about this, we as women need to assert our self worth and assert it powerfully.  When someone takes the time and effort to offer you a compliment PLEASE take it and say THANK YOU.  It is so very rude to unaccept and disagree with the person that has handed you the compliment.  No wonder there are so many women out there that complain that their partners never give them compliments.  If we do not accept the compliments when they arrive then why should anyone carry on giving them?

PS..... You look BEAUTIFUL today xxxxxx
