About This Quote

If we can’t accept compliments, we can’t be happy. Letting other people know of our good qualities and skills is a great way to increase our self-esteem and happiness. If we refuse to accept compliments, we might find ourselves in a sad state of mind. One way to get over this is by writing down your positive qualities and skills and writing down all of the compliments you get for them. Then, every day, read through the list and let yourself get even more positive about yourself.
