I had an idea once for business called Compliment Cards. You could buy a small deck of little cards that had pre-printed compliments on them like “You’re doing a great job, keep going” or “I think you’re really cute.” The concept was to give them to strangers, leave them with a tip at a restaurant, leave them on employee desks, etc.
I believe that the smallest, unsolicited compliment from someone can change a person’s day — maybe even their life.
We’re so inundated with negativity between the news, the internet, social media, or even in real life that a simple positive thing is becoming rare. Couple that with younger people being shy in person (just look at the current statistics on young people asking each other out) and you have a whole lot of compliments and positivity not being shared.
I try every day to give at least one strange a compliment.
No one is ever sad they received a compliment.
