You’re truly one-of-a-kind.

And you may not realize it, but a genuine compliment is a gift. This little expression of positivity can transform a bad day into a good one, a scowl into a smile and self-doubt into sheer confidence — like magic. Now, what else could you possibly give someone that has the power to do that?

Compliments are so meaningful because their messages are deeper than words alone. Compliments tell someone that you’re aware, and you really see them. That you’re listening. That you appreciate something about them and are taking the time to acknowledge it. These unexpected surprises of gratitude connect us to one another in the sincerest way.
