Compliments never go out of style, unlike some of the hair cuts in this photo. Giving compliments is a win win. Not only are you making someone else’s day a little better, but it is such a joy to give people confidence. It gives you a little confidence as well. What a timely piece of advice for everyone, at any age: Give more compliments!

Smile, even when you don’t feel like it.

Everyone knows that pre-teens can be a bit moody. (And teens, and twenty somethings, and thirty somethings…) While hiding your feelings, or putting on a fake mood isn’t good, I think the point here is that sometimes, if you go through the motions, your mood will eventually follow. I can definitely use this wisdom today!
