  Speaker 2: I was telling Terry this today. I got one of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the best compliments I've ever received the other day, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it filled me to my joy cup was just like
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: brim brimming, and it was it was about my children.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: But when you compliment my children, it's like complimenting me
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: times one hundred. But it made me think about when
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I was a flight attendant many many years ago. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: would compliment people, and I made a pack with myself.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: If I felt something complimentary about somebody in my head,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I was going to say it. I was going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: walk up to them and I would say it, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I realized I was receiving in the process of giving
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the compliment, seeing them just like smile and you have
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: no idea what it probably did for them for their day.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And I was telling Terry, I saw this lady in
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the Loew's parking lot, beautiful, beautiful lady, but pushing ninety
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like beautiful okay, And I stopped her and I said,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: can I just tell you that you are absolutely the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: most beautiful woman in it? I won most Beautiful four
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: years in a row at the Unifosaal Texas. Wow, I said,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I believe it. But it was the cutest thing ever.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: She just was so full and she probably hasn't received
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a like that. It hasn't. It's almost ninety years old.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But I love it. But my kids used to cringe
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: when I did it. They hated it. Really. It was embarrassed.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Why you have talked to everybody? You're talking everyone? And
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not If I want to compliment somebody,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make them feel good. Well, what I've
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: noticed is my children do it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: All.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Three of my kids are very verbal. When they see
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: somebody a stranger, they're very complimentary and so people will
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: say to me, your daughter just made me my whole day,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and I was like, thank you, God, thank you. See
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: one so cringey after all, you know, because they grew.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Up they is And what I love is when basically,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: if you're confident within yourself, you have zero problem telling
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: somebody you are the most beautiful woman or you are
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the most talented. I have friends and they will say, God,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: you're such an encourager, You're such you know, you give compliments,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and I say, I just tell the truth. It's not phony.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I just tell if I see it, I'm going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: tell you. But here's here's how this happened. We grew
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: up with parents that did that. We watched our dad
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: especially have zero problem, and it was him who allowed
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: us to understand that, Look, we may not be the prettiest,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the funniest, the most you know, educated, or smartest one
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in the room, but we've got something special inside of
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: us that's our our own. So there's no reason not
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to tell someone you're the smartest woman I know.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Are you were?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: So when people feel lifted, they feel elevated, their spirit
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: feels elevated after being with us. That is a high
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: compliment to us. That means they want us around because we,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: like I said the other day to somebody, uh parker Borough.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: She was like, she was, You're such an encourage. You
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: always made me feel good. I said, I just tell
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the truth. I just I think it and I say it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: And you know, if I if I think it and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I don't say it, I regret it. I think, why
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: did I tell so and so that, you know, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: thought that she did a beautiful job.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That's the key because we all think these things. We
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: think these thoughts about other people, but we're kind of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: insecure to go up and tell a stranger or tell
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: somebody what we're thinking about them, because it's a little embarrassing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you're insecure about it until you do it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and tell you do it exactly, and then after a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: while you do it. Because again I'm saying with my
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: dad never met a stranger, and there'd be a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of times we'd be out in public and he's talking
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to somebody. I'm like, who is that. Daddy goes, It's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: just somebody had just met and he was talking to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: him like they're best friends from high school.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Or right, But tell them about Morgan, you know, just
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: having that smile like someone well Morgan.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So, if anybody watched her story, if you ever watched
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Netflix Cheer, it's the episode five. I believe Morgan was
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: went through a really hard time. This is your daughter,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: my daughter in law neglected and she talked about just
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: like you know, questioning life basically, and she talked about
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: going to school and just having somebody pass from the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: hall and smile at her was all she needed to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: get through that day. And so you never know when
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you do show kindness to somebody, you don't know what
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you've just done to them and how it may have
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just saved their lives. The back story, the backstory exactly.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So give, give, give.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So the best compliment you've ever gotten was that your
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: kids made someone else feel better. Yes, And the best
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: compliment Terry you've ever gotten was that people enjoy spending
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: time with you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the best compliment is when someone says you're
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so much like your dad, so much like your mom.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I can't think of a better compliment that because I
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you know, I hold them in such high regard and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: whenever we get those kinds of compliments, it's like just
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a sweet gift from Heaven.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I love how both of y'all feel like the best
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: compliments you've ever got relate back to other members of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your family. Oh yeah, that's kind of interesting.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe ours will feel the same way one day
• 5:51
