Encouraging others--
Sometimes I need a little encouragement. When those times occur, I welcome a friendly hello, a smile, a pat on the back, a phone call, a text, an email, a cup of coffee. In other words, I welcome the human touch.
Those little encouragers mean so much when life is pushing back. When illness finds our address, the caring of another gives us hope. When our career makes a drastic shift, the help of others is what gets us back up and running. When a joy surrounds us, sharing with others makes it so much sweeter. We all need encouragement at various points along our life walk.
Might there be folks right before our eyes everyday who could use our encouragement? How can we become an encourager? Here is a simple suggestion. What if we all made a list of five positive things we could do this day to support others. On the list could be simple but powerful things such as smiling at people, telling the checker in the grocery store how you admire their cheerful spirit, sending an email to a friend who might be going through a bit of a challenge. You see, that list is yours. You can make it what you want. You have the power to simply walk around throughout your day spreading sunshine.
How cool is that?
