Not sure if I was born with it, but when I approach a person, the first thing that comes to my mind is what I love about them. If they are a stranger, it might be their bag, coat or fabulous hair. I always share, especially with those that I don’t know. I notice it makes people smile and, in that moment, there is an exchange of feel-good, for them and for me, instant Sparkle.
I have challenged my girls all December, they need to give one compliment to each family member every day. When you are busy thinking of dishing up compliments, it is hard to focus on any negative energy. The more the positive is engaged, the quicker the negative is fleeting.
I challenge you: Compliment as you make eye contact, stranger or not, and you will feel the sparkle within.
