Compliments Over Criticism: A Short Wake-Up Call · Eye Opener Society

• 0:01
  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society. Thank you again for joining
• 0:04
  me on one of these quicker, shorter attention span kind of podcast.
• 0:09
  And I wanted to talk to you about compliments.
• 0:12
  We always know that criticism hits hard. I mean, it punches you right in the
• 0:18
  face and it knocks your teeth out.
• 0:21
  Constructive criticism is a little less violent, so to speak.
• 0:26
  But what about the nice compliments that we seem to lack?
• 0:30
  I know going way back when I had done an episode about conversation,
• 0:36
  not comments, because I'm so sick of comments.
• 0:39
  They're so underhanded. They're so brutal and they're so ridiculous.
• 0:44
  Pay somebody something kind. Say nice words to them. Find the nice in whatever it may be.
• 0:50
  There's nothing wrong with expressing that sort of creativity.
• 0:54
  It has nothing to do with you know because here here's the thing if you do find
• 1:01
  flaws in another person it takes a much stronger person to find the nicer things within those flaws,
• 1:09
  so saying something nice when you probably were not expecting to do so.
• 1:15
  Not only is that complimentary to the person who you said it to,
• 1:20
  it's complimentary to your own self.
• 1:22
  It's complimentary to your own ego to look away from stuff like that.
• 1:26
  So pay a nicer compliment to someone rather than always worried about being
• 1:32
  highly critical of someone else, something else, whatever it may be.
• 1:38
  It's just like the old saying that if you don't like something, just look away.
• 1:44
  You know if you don't like a tv program turn it
• 1:47
  off if you do not like this podcast just turn
• 1:50
  it off there's tons out there so much more
• 1:53
  that you can find that you actually match to and once you match to these things
• 1:58
  then you have a much better time but people love you know to find things they
• 2:04
  do not like and then they sit in it they find that space and place themselves
• 2:09
  in it to constantly be negative,
• 2:12
  to take something positive from someone else and to start to load that vibration
• 2:16
  and totally destroy the energy that's in the air. And I noticed that happening more and more.
• 2:22
  And that's, I think, again, we got to blame social media for that,
• 2:25
  but let's stop blaming social media.
• 2:27
  And again, start taking blame 100% for ourselves because everything we do is what we do.
• 2:33
  There's a consequence to everything and we don't take responsibility for it.
• 2:37
  So instead of just doing just stop.
• 2:42
  Everything then falls back to normal. I know the concept sometimes seems so simple.
• 2:51
  But again, if it's so simple, then why don't we just do it? Why don't we just
• 2:55
  stop with the negativity?
• 2:57
  Why don't we just stop taking other people's space, pay a compliment,
• 3:02
  say something nice, do something that's meaningful, and I think we'll be so much better.
• 3:08

• 3:42
