“You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.”
A genuine, sincere compliment touches the universal longing to be seen and known that connects us all as human beings sharing this beloved planet.
When we are judgmental of those around us, we restrict the power of our influence.
But when we are genuinely complimentary, we expand the capacity of our influence. We grow positivity.
And here’s the best part: the power of compliments works for both the giver and the receiver.
This week, choose a person you feel close to and ask them, “What’s one thing you admire about me?”
What did they say? Stop and take it in. Did it make you want to do that thing even more?
Now you’re getting the power of compliments!
