In the last couple of years, one of the most important things I have learnt in life is to compliment people on everything that I appreciate and/or find admirable in them. That, not only makes someone else's day but also makes me feel good. It is like my positive deed of the day. Hence, when I heard about the #BeGreatOutThere campaign by Nature Valley, I knew I had to share that message with my readers as well as my friends and family.
I spend majority of my day online, a pre-requisite of my work and life but that had driven me to make an extra effort connect with people in real life. Whether it is by a simple text, tweet or call, I try and reach out to my friends and family constantly. The power of positive thinking and words is magical. One can not imagine what it might mean to someone who is having a bad day. I message my parents daily to let them know I love them, I message my brother weekly to let him know I am there for him, I message my friends often to let them know I care and I miss them. I message my husband daily, to let him know I love him! We all could use a little (more!) love, appreciation, and kindness, every now and then.
I had not been a person who gave many compliments, but I have consciously tried and changed that about myself in the last couple of years. Even when I feel I might sound ridiculous, I choose to with my gut feeling and tell strangers how fabulous they are, or how gorgeous they look, or how I admire them for who they are!
