What Does Your Internal Magnifier Do?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Magnify StrengthsDo you know you have an internal MAGNIFER? They are called the WORDS that you send out into the world. When talking with others we should always be looking for the GOOD in them. We have two choices with people:

COMPLIMENTS

CRITICISM

While criticism if constructive is helpful to steering people by their own choice to be their best selves it focuses on weaknesses. We all have weaknesses and probably should reserve that more to improving OURSELVES.

COMPLIMENTS on the very positive side however if genuine and sincere and not flattery

MAGNIFY THE STRENGTHS of the other. Good job, you look good in that outfit, you have such pretty eyes, I love that personality trait you have and wish more people were like that....... etc.

ALL GO TO REINFORCING what you like about someone.

It builds a strong bond with them and THEY WILL REMEMBER YOUR KINDNESS.

GIVE COMPLIMENTS EVERY CHANCE YOU GET!!!

Gary, this is a great post on the importance of being positive and speaking about the positive aspect of others. We speak negatively about others to build our selves up, but we are then seen as a negative person and that actually lowers our value in other peoples eyes.

Thanks

Gary - I second this and I just wrote on magnifying strengths.  The objective of helping others will guide us to sincere compliments and positive suggestions when necessary.

Good morning Gary.  We just took a couples class on compliments and the power they have in any relationship.  After a few days it just becomes a natural thing to do instead of a chore and it brings harmony.

You would be surprised how many people can't except compliments. Never the less I believe in giving them sincerely!
