Being confident means being
aware of your achievements and
full potentials without waiting
for others to tell you who you are
or all you are capable of.
However, no matter how
confident you are, the
compliments of others especially
those close to you matter. There
are days that you might feel
unsure or weak and someone
says something nice and that
somehow lifts your spirit.
Blushing when someone says
something nice to you is not a
sign of weakness, the human
nature is one that values being
seen and appreciated. Some
women admit that they find a
compliment more endearing
when it comes from a fellow
woman; some believe in that
because they have the belief that
a compliment coming from a
fellow woman is a bit more pure
and genuine.
No matter who a compliment
comes from, it helps us hold on
to what we are doing. It
encourages us to do better. It
makes us feel appreciated and
valued and that shapes us and
what we will become. As women,
many of us were taught to
compete with each other more
than we are taught to
complement each other.
We need to unlearn that and help
each other rise to our full
potential even if it’s with just a
simple compliment. Your
compliments matters to others.
