Jordana's Blog: Compliment Away!

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- "Don't waste a compliment on yourself."

A guest on my show, Stephen Blair Venable, said this on the air Thursday night.

I love this statement. It was said during a discussion on advice you'd like to hand down.

Stephen expanded on the quote, saying it not only means not to be vain, but if you think of something nice to say -- SAY IT! We have all seen someone's face brighten when you tell them you like their shirt or their smile or the presentation they just gave.

He says do not keep that information to yourself. If you compliment someone you can change their mood, their day and the energy of those around them. So compliment with abandon and do not waste it on yourself!

Have a great "no-filter-compliment" weekend.
