THE MAGIC OF ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL

What type of people are you going to meet on the road of life? Will they be happy people who will add to the happiness of your life, or will they be weary, rather run down miserable people who will tend to drag down your life? Would you like to have everyone that comes into your life happy and lift you up with joy? There's a simple way to do it. All it takes is to convey acceptance and a word of approval. I don't mean insincere praise, I mean real, sincere, deep down approval. This is done in action that doesn't take more than thirty seconds to accomplish. We convey acceptance by providing the universal sign of acceptance, a smile. We add to this extended eye contact. That is eye contact for three seconds or more. When two people make extended eye contact, it creates a feeling of connection and acceptance in both people. Then follow this with approval. Approval is something that must be heard. Approval is conveyed simply by making a compliment about the person that is true. The compliment could be about something in their appearance, behavior, speech, etc. 

Determine that you are going to be an instrument for good in your world by conveying acceptance and approval to everyone you encounter in your life day to day. It makes life fun and much more enjoyable.
