Moments of Truth....How often do you compliment someone's outfit or car?

I am just one person. Many will never cross my path so it is amazing the impact my not being here can have on the whole world of people I currently know. One of my resolutions this year was to take the time to tell people how I feel. It's amazing to me how easy it is to compliment someone else's material items but how hard it is for many of us to say your a good person, or I love spending time with you or I love you. Sometimes the simplest things to say are the hardest of all. I recently tried to let people know either by the written, typed or spoken word and its an interesting experience. Similar to how I feel after I volunteer I feel good for adding to that person's day but I also have added to my day. Afterwards you feel such a sense of relief by letting your heart speak rather than letting your mind analyze if it should be said or not. Do not assume people know how you feel often we don't see ourselves as positively as others see us. No greater feeling than for someone you see as amazing to tell you how much they admire you. So much of my strength comes from those around me and that's what allows me to go after my dreams. You never know how one sentence you say will encourage someone else to say something nice to someone struggling. It has such a larger affect. Imagine if everyone you know told one person and that one person told one person. Whole cities could be affected and maybe we could a little more light to the darkness that so many struggle with. None of us can save the world but often we save ourselves by helping others. A compliment is a compliment so if in that moment the best you can say is nice purse, that's ok. But try to push yourself to also share something not materialist you admire about the person. Remember no better feeling than letting your heart do the talking. No matter how bad your day is no matter how hard on yourself you are being someone out there thinks your the cats meow...And you never know maybe one day soon they will get the courage to tell you. But don't wait for them to do so start the wave yourself! Be well you all are always in my thoughts...
