Compliments are gifts

Compliments are gifts - not sharing one is like keeping a gift in your pocket: with one person complimenting another and it feeling like receiving a gift

Compliments Are Gifts is a lovely metaphor for making the world brighter.

Though I've lost where, I once read:

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it” - William Arthur Ward

This reframe has made me take the time to share compliments more often with friends, colleagues, shopkeepers, the person who always has a cheery smile in the morning, the person who organised the event, my kids, my wife, and pretty much everyone. And life seems a better place. Do it!

Thank you for following and checking out this sketch. It’s a privilege.
