The other day, I met a young woman with the most beautiful brown eyes you can imagine. They are like deep wells that you just sink into. Did not find the right moment yesterday  to tell her about the eyes.

Today we sat down and talked and then I took the opportunity to tell about her about her beautiful eyes. What a joy to see that I made ​​another human being so happy.

When it comes to praise, I remember Lena an older (she was over 70 years old) fascinating woman who comed to on one of my courses in Personal Development for many years ago. On the course we had talked about the importance of giving others praise, which means that we also feels good, because we delight others. Anyway, Lena had been in Stockholm and was on her way home to Sundsvall, by train. On the train a woman was sitting opposite her, according to Lena with the most gorgeous shoes she had seen. Lena loved shoes and always had high heels on the course. Lena sat and watched these shoes all the way home to Sundsvall. She got off the train without having spoken to the woman and  she was so angry about this and with herself, because she had not praised the woman for her beautiful shoes. As they should practice to give praise to others, that should have been a good opportunity to do so. ”But at least I could have asked her where she had bought them, so that I could buy the same,” she said at the next meeting. We laughed everybody at her story.

Yes, unfortunately it is like this, we are not good at praising each other. To praise one another means that you tell somenone what you really feel, in a positiv way of course, to give praise doesn’t mean that you should get something back for yourself. Give to please others. Often we have nice thoughts about others but we don’t say it very often. Take the step forward and give of yourself to others on your path through life.

With light and greatings
