COMPLIMENTS.
In my experience, the best way to influence someone to let down their guard is to give them a compliment.
Everyone has encountered that grumpy parton at their restaurant. That ungrateful customer in their checkout line. Or that generally disturbing human out and about in society.
It is up to us, the changers of the world🌏 to step out and lift our heads up and notice more than our cellphones!
Make sure your compliment is genuine and find something you like about that person. Whether it's what they are wearing or their accessories, their shoes or even their eyes, hair, or nails. A person can tell when you're being fake or giving an empty compliment. The purpose here is to make someone feel good, feel special.
DO YOU LOVE THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU RECEIVE CASH MONEY?
According to research compliments evoke the same feeling in the brain as getting CASH! And it only costs a little kindness and time.
The next time you encounter that negative person, consider their life and their feelings, find something about them you like, and TELL THEM.
Be the change you want to see in the world (ghandi) and spread little gifts of love ❤ through compliments.
