You may be feeling complimentary today as you share your admiration with your loved ones. This is not empty flattery but a sincere expression of your appreciation for them. Sometimes we take all the wonderful things about the people we love for granted and cease to notice them. Other times we merely forget to share our appreciation with them. But when we remember, we are able to give them a wonderful gift of love. When we spend time with people day after day, it is easy to fall into roles and expectations and forget to really see them for who they are. Today we can decide to look at them through eyes of admiration and share with them all the beauty we see.

Once we begin to see the light shine brightly in the eyes of those we compliment, we may find it somewhat addictive. It may make us want to compliment coworkers, acquaintances, and strangers as well. In doing so, you could leave a trail of joy behind you and light around you. You may start a trend that others will follow, spreading light beyond your imagination. Giving compliments comes from a place of confidence within yourself that shows you have no need to compare yourself to others or begrudge them their beauty, talent, or success. You give them the gift of reflecting back to them how others see them in a positive way. When you give the gift of a compliment today, you bring more light into the world.
