"You need to be aware of what others are doing,
applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes,
and encourage them in their pursuits.
When we all help one another, everybody wins."
-- Jim Stovall
I highly recommend that each of us encourage each other. There is nothing quite like it to show that you care, your love, your interest, and it can even boost performance dramatically in business. It must be sincere, and that will be easy because there is so much potential in each of us, that we have barely scratched the surface in all of the human time on earth.
It's far better to catch someone doing something well and compliment them than to catch them missing the mark and chastise them. In many business environments, too many people look for what is wrong in another's word or deed. That same thing happens in the home as well--especially with children. We are all better served as encouragers rather than correctors.
There are all kinds of ways to encourage each other, and the easiest is just saying something nice and uplifting to people you live with, work with or meet. Compliment something about them, tell them something they did or are doing that is special and good, or well done. Something as simple as, you have a beautiful smile is good. It doesn't take much, but it holds huge meaning to them. Get started today. You won't regret a single second of it. And, you might find that you receive far more benefit than the person you are encouraging.
