I Love Compliments!

But then, who doesn't!  I have received a couple of compliments in the past couple of days.  All of them were from out of the blue and were truly heartfelt.  They all had to do with appreciation of my positive attitude.

I am so glad that my positive attitude, which by the way is really selfish, as it serves to make me feel good, is an inspiration to others.

I am currently listening to "Inspiration" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.  He inspires me to be the best that I can be and is one of the great teachers that I read voraciously.  One of the points that he makes in the book (or audio book) that you are inspired or called upon to be kind to others.  He gives numerous examples about how he seems to know just what he needs to say to make a difference.  I think that we all do.  We all have that little voice telling us this person needs a kind word, that one would benefit from a certain gesture.  I truly believe that if we act on those instincts, we can change the world a little at a time.

There is a ripple effect to kindnesses.  When I received those compliments, those perfectly timed compliments, I was inspired to let others know that I had received an act of kindness, and how good it felt.  I then asked others to remember that even just kind words can make a huge difference and challenged my readers on Face Book to say a kind word to another as it would make them feel good, and it would make the other person feel good, and hopefully that person would pass it on.

I am making that same challenge to you today.  Can you commit to go out of your way to give a genuine compliment or word of appreciation to someone today?  If you would, it would make my day!
