A compliment a day !
Compliments from other women…. Having complete strangers (mostly women) say you are “Amazing”, “On Point”, have your “Shit Together”, you are ‘Badass” and the latest you are ”Juicy“ ???? Which I questioned as it could be taken so many different ways, right?….. So when I asked what this meant, the amazing young lady said that the term came up when speaking with her aunt. Her aunt told her that she needed to be less serious, enjoy life, be less closed of and abrupt in her responses whether it be due to a situation or simply life, her aunt told her this year her New Year’s Resolution should be “TO BE JUICY”, to give an open and kind reflection, a positive friendly light to all, to take a breath and take life in its stride.
Another way I see this is, for example when you come across a certain smell, scent and it immediately takes you to a new dimension and those intoxicating endorphins make you feel good, I believe a simple compliment can have that same effect.
Juicy
“Juicy” is something I certainly haven’t always been, for me it was something that happened when I let everything and everyone go that was not good for me, a situation, person whatever that may be but when you can breath again and remove the facade we often show on the outside to protect ourselves and reveal the happiness or light we have inside, I believe you reflect let’s say a brighter light Juicy to the outside world and in turn open yourself up to attract more of the same in your life.
I was moving through life but not living it for so many years. It was as if I had taken a position within a corporation and was doing what needed to be done to keep things moving and had forgotten that life was also about me, and I realize NOW I want more from life while I am here, I have said this before but sometimes you have to just step away and let things and emotions go in order to live your best life.
Loving yourself
So these terms or rather compliments shall we say only started happening to me in the past year. I had decided to renew myself, do me and only me which means loving myself first and finding who I had been and wanted to be again. I let go of unwanted baggage and didn’t even realize that in doing this simple thing I would reflect and attract the good in people and life. It was and is an eye opening and empowering realization that I was the only one that could and would determine the rest of my life.
Relationships will come and go and maybe stay and be great but they do not determine who we are inside or as individuals. NO ONE needs to be in a relationship to be authentic.. That is up to each of us to decide and our BEST life whether it be at work or in our personal realm is where WE see fit and picture it to be! So much of a life is about making mistakes, and as long as we are learning from them and identifying the negative to eliminate and the positive to nurture as we move forward, which as we already know is and can be tough, we are on the right path.
Be “Authentic”, compliment strangers if only to make their day and live life to the fullest, don’t put it off there is NO RERUN. YOU make the rules and reality is yours to define! Perfection is relative to how you want to be perceived and only can define what that may be or how it looks…. DON’T let anyone pull you off track or make you feel less than your worth. YOU are significant on every level and that is all that matters.
When everything you say is real, authentic and kind, a little goes a long way.
What difference could you make to someone’s day today?
