I hope people realize how beautiful and amazing you are, in and out…

Those were a few of the words that spilled out from an unexpected source at a social function this week. I was at an event and a fellow classmate out of nowhere (and I mean nowhere) showered me with compliments that I couldn’t handle. The reason why I bring this up isn’t to raise my ego to a level higher than it currently is (Sassy has a big EGO #beyonce #Ialwaysdigress). I bring it up because for some reason it meant a lot to me. I am not one short of receiving compliments so it was not a matter ‘oh my, I have never received compliments before’. It meant a lot because it came from a place of total genuineness with no intention whatsoever.I think in life we forget at times how important it is to celebrate others, its important to understand that by shining the light on others doesn’t mean we dim the light on ourselves. I think its key to note that we hold so much power than we care to admit and that using that power in simple ways can potentially change the lives of others in greater ways.

For me, the compliment bestowed on me made me feel pretty special because it really dived into the core of my personality and who I was and for me, that someone was able to see through to that and deliver that back to me was something remarkable.

So today, I encourage YOU and I to celebrate others, to be truly genuine and be unselfish with our words. Who knows what impact our words may have on others. We have nothing to lose by sharing love in simple ways, so let’s share away.
