Giving

The two most important words are “Thank You”. – Zig Ziglar

Part of giving is receiving gracefully. Sometimes we are giving a gift or compliment and we just do not know how to react to it. As people, we are embarrassed by the compliment and humbled.

I used to struggle with compliments. I had not idea what to say to the giver. Most often, I would disqualify the compliment and tell them why I did not deserve it. I confided in one of my mentors about being uncomfortable with receiving compliments. She told me to just say, “Thank You”.

In building relationships it is important to allow others to give us the gift of a compliment, by accepting it and saying “Thank You”.
