Compliments
When someone pays you a compliment you have two roads you may take with it, either accept it happily or wonder what is the hidden agenda behind this compliment? All too often we take the latter path, killing the joy or positivity that the compliment could impart on our soul. Why attach a negative stigma to something that could essentially brighten your day or make you smile? You deserve the happiness, so throw away your dissection tools and reap the benefits of compliments given to you. Compliments are one of life's financially free and calorie free treats- enjoy one today.

well said as usual, +B. the only appropriate way to accept a compliment is gracefully, with a thank you. too often we ruin the simple pleasure with "oh, i havent even washed my hair today" or "thank you, but i havent slept in days!" a compliment is as simple and one-dimensional as it sounds- a comment to make you feel happy, appreciated, and confident. let's stop injecting our negativity and insecurities into this, and just learn to enjoy
