Giving a good compliment is one of the quickest ways to make someone else feel good and to feel better yourself.
If you offer friendly and sincere compliments to people around you, you will brighten their day and spread a little bit of joy in the world.
It doesn't take much to offer a positive compliment.

- Tell your spouse or partner every day how much you appreciate him or her and why.
- Compliment your children and tell them why you are so proud of them.
