"Beautify Everything In Your Life"

You know who's awesome? People who beautify my life with kind, heartfelt words.

It's only a compliment or a vote of confidence, but isn't it a nice surprise when people use words in a way that makes you feel like a hero receiving his medals?

There's an interesting thing about human nature, though...a tendency to let lovely compliments go in one ear and out the next, whereas we often hold on to every word and all accompanying body language when someone drops hurtful words on us.

But shouldn't it be the other way around?

Personally, I'm on a new mission to invest more energy in cherishing kindnesses that take place when people speak of me.
