Look for every chance you get to tell the those around you how much they mean to you — this seems such a simple task, yet for whatever reason, we are all guilty of this on occasion.
I have found that when I make a conscious effort to tell someone how much I appreciate them I am not only making their day a little better, but often I am inadvertently brightening the day of the next person they are going to come into contact with. Now that should be reason enough to give an honest compliment shouldn’t it?
It really does have an amazing snowballing effect. I won’t go as far as to say that everyone will be receptive towards it. Particularly if you are not a person that is typically known for paying compliments. Do not make the mistake of not starting. There is always time to start, and you can not begin to imagine the benefits you will receive from something so simple.
Starting right now, take the time to notice those that are important to you, and do not hold back on your compliments. Tell them why they are important to you and continuously be on the lookout for new opportunities to let them know. Not only will you feel a lot better, you will certainly have done your part to make their day that much better as well!
I have seen something as simple as a “congratulations on a job well done” propel some of the most unenthusiastic people into super achievers on their jobs. As human beings we have a basic need to be appreciated. Find a way to fill that need and you will put yourself at a distinct advantage in both your personal and professional relationships...
