Everyone, young and old, famous or unknown, successful and the less-than-successful needs encouragement!
Mark Twain once said, "One compliment can keep me going for a whole month."
Zig Ziglar said, "You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life."
The Bible says, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." (Proverbs 16:24)
As you encourage people around you, in your home, in your community and even the strangers you come in contact with - you are helping them to become better people. You help them believe in themselves. You help them to have a better opinion of themselves. And guess what? It is helping YOU become a better person; it is helping you to believe in yourself.
Once you learn how terrific you are - you will never settle for anything less than the best! The more you encourage others, the more it will become a part of you.
Look for opportunities to encourage others.......
go on....
...get going.
