You don’t need to ration compliments like coffee beans in a bunker. You can scatter them like confetti, sprinkle them on coworkers while reviewing a draft, toss them into conversations with strangers, even lob them at yourself in the mirror when no one else is around.
The result? Always good.
Not sometimes good.
Not “depends on the weather” good.
Always good.
Compliments lubricate the gears of human interaction. They soften the sharp edges of critique. They turn a dull Tuesday into something closer to a festival.
They’re pretty cool, aren’t they?
Stay Positive & So Are You
