Aren’t You Going to Say Something Nice About Me?
 
A business associate used to humorously illustrate this point.  He would approach a coworker and pay them a sincere compliment and then would pause and not say anything for a moment.  Then he would look them in the eye and say, “Now aren’t you going to say something nice about me?”  Through his antics he made the point that we love to be complimented but most of us don’t return the favor.

The phrase “You look simply marvelous” was coined by comedian Billy Crystal who created the Saturday Night Live character named Fernando.  Fernando’s skewed philosophy of life was, “It’s better to look good than to feel good.”  Although misguided, Fernando knew the power of paying someone a compliment.

Do you find compliments to be plentiful or rare in your life?  Do you pay them?  Do you receive them?  Author, Roberto Rocha says, “Paying compliments has never been more strategically important than it is today.  Not because people expect them, but precisely because they don’t.  While everyone is wrapped up in their own performance, people hardly take the time to recognize others.”

It is possible for you to answer the question, “Who am I?”  By understanding your personality, passions and what experience has made you, you will be on your way to experiencing the exciting destiny awaiting you.  Personally, I found the help my Certified GPS Coach provided me to be critical in discovering my destiny.  Frankly, before I connected with him I was floundering.
