9 Ways to Help Others Shine

The life stage that we perform on is not a one-woman show. We all have parts to play and the better we support each other, the better life will be for everyone.

There is an unlimited amount of joy that can be spread around. Lifting one person up, doesn’t bring another one down.

Here are nine simple ways to make other people shine.

1. When you see someone who is having a rough day, give them a small compliment. They may desperately need it.
2. Give 110% when you go to work. When you make your boss look good, you also make yourself look good.
3. If you receive good service, tell the manager.
4. Praise publicly.
5. If someone makes a mistake, but they honestly tried, don’t beat them up over. Chances are they have already done that to themselves. Compliment them on their effort.
6. Ask people questions about things they are interested in, even if you know nothing about them. They will feel acknowledged and you will learn something new.
7. Choose one friend each day and send them a note about why they mean so much to you. It’s very easy to take our friends for granted and it’s rare to every let them know their importance.
8. If a friend has a special talent, recommend them to someone who could use their skills.
9. Tell someone that you think they are a good friend, a good mom, a good teacher, or a good person.

Lifting people up feels good and it is deeply meaningful.

It only takes a few moments to make someone shine brightly today.
