I always appreciate compliments. From the simple, "love your shirt" or "you're the best" to the more intricate, individual-specific words of praise, compliments often light up my day.
In high school, I had a friend who did not appreciate compliments. She hated when I praised her, told her did something well or looked beautiful. I was trying to lift her up. Instead, she felt pain.
She was limited. She wasn't ready to be happy. I've learned to surround myself with loving, happy people to raise my soul. No one is happy all the time but misery is contagious.
Yesterday, I received praise that vibrated my heart. Feeling appreciated and whole makes me want to give back, achieve more and continue advancing myself.
May we all lift up.
