Mona Girl Blog: "YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Do any of You remember this? "YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"

Well, if you're a Seinfeld Junkie like me, You'll Know It! It's the line Jerry used (instead of saying "Bless You" or "Gesundheit") when someone sneezed on that particular episode. Awww Yes. The mindless "Show About Nothing" that resulted in Seinfeld becoming an "era defining phenomenon". And Family, I'm One who Still drinks the "Episodes in Syndication Kool-Aid." 😁

Anywho.......Today's Mona Girl Blog is Not about Seinfeld but It's one liner makes for a great Intro for Today's Message. Holy Spirit dropped this Wonderful Read into my lap and just had to Share IT with His Global Family. It's a God Word on what some of Us (I can raise my hand in this class) sometimes have a hard time doing......*Receiving A Compliment*.

So I will step aside and let Madisyn Taylor's Divine Words of Wisdom give Us something to Put Into Practice the NEXT time (and Loves, I assure you, there'll be lots and lots of "Next Times") You *Receive A Compliment* or hear these words......"YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"

Accepting Compliments: Receiving a Gift with Grace

When we willingly accept compliments, we are reminded that others see us through different eyes.

Many of us find it difficult to accept compliments but easy to believe the slightest criticism. Today, right now, let's make a choice to fully accept compliments as we would a gift. Sincere compliments are gifts of praise. They are kudos given for wise choices or accomplishments or perhaps for just letting your light shine. There is no reason not to accept the gift of a kind word, but some of us argue against them, even giving reasons why they aren't true.

If we visualize the energy of a compliment, we would see beautiful, shining, positive energy being sent from the giver. That energy, if accepted graciously, would brighten our personal energy field. Our gratitude then returns to the giver as warm, fuzzy, glowing energy, completing an even circuit of good feelings. But if we reject a compliment, what could have been a beautiful exchange becomes awkward and uncomfortable, making it a negative experience instead. Misplaced modesty can ruin the joy of sharing this connection with another person. But we can accept a compliment and still be modest by simply saying "thank you." However, if compliments are rejected due to a lack of self-esteem, then the first step would be to start believing good things about yourself. Try giving yourself compliments in the mirror. Beyond the initial feelings of silliness, you will notice how good it feels and
can watch the smile it puts on your face. The next step would be to see how it feels to give compliments to others. Notice how great you feel when you've made another person's face brighten and how differently you feel when the gift you've offered is rejected. Having experienced all sides, you will be ready to play along fully and willingly.

We are our harshest critics. When we accept compliments, we are reminded that others see us through different eyes. All living beings crave positive attention, and we all deserve to have positive energy shared with us. Perhaps if we happily and gratefully accept compliments, we will give others permission to do so as well. (www.dailyom.com)
