Are you good at accepting compliments?

Posted on Jun 27th, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 27, 2009:

When younger I used to get embarrassed and flustered when complemented, but then I gradually came to realise that usually the one giving the complement often has the very
quality that they recognise and admire in another, now I accept gracefully and seing similar qualities in them happily return the compliment, phrased so it doesn't seem too copy cat. Children especially respond to positive strokes, as everyone does, if we see the best in another, it blossoms.

I like this, Gael. You're so right: I didn't realize until now that “usually the one giving the complement often has the very quality that they recognise and admire in another.” Thanks for sharing!

Have a beautiful weekend and take care,
Jenna
