Tip #1: Accept Compliments
A compliment is a gift.
It’s not something that you asked for, not a gift that you danced around your flat hoping would show up someday like a pony, that perfect sofa or the whole next edition of The Magician’s to binge-watch.
A Compliment is a gift from one person to another.
It can be the best kind of gift, the one given for no reason.
Nothing asked for or expected in return.
The woman next to you in the coffee-shop line who tells you how nice your jacket looks, or how cool your backpack is. The guy on the metro who notices your smile or what tie you’ve got on. The moment they speak up and offer a compliment, they are giving you a gift, accept it.
There’s Nothing To Owe.
Accepting a compliment means you’ve accepted their gift for what it was. Something nice. Something simple. Something easy.
Accepting the gift warmly allows you to open your heart. It fills you up about 75%…… It fills the giver up…
