I tried a new game on campus today.
I call it "quick-compliments".
It consists of looking at every person you pass (or most people, if its really busy) and just by looking at them for a few seconds, coming up with a sincere compliment that you would give them if you had the chance.
Sometimes its hard because they pass so quick,
Sometimes I try to make it harder by coming up with something deeper than a common one-layered compliment. For example: "Hey I like your shoes." would instead be more like, "Hey I really like your shoes, they go with your shirt and it makes you look really confident."
Another example: I saw a girl with a diamond headband and a shiny necklace and I thought, "Your headband is really beautiful the way it sparkles in the sun and that and your necklace really make you stand out."
I don't know why or how I started doing this. It started a few days ago and it was only today that I really consciously realized what I was doing.
I noticed that it really put me in a better mood because whenever I see someone I think something positive about them, and that makes me happier. I think I will continue to do it.
Until next time...I really like your comment below, it lets me know you are an awesome person.
I find this game quite enjoyable! This is another reason you are one of the best :)
