Finishing 2012 Strong

Take the time to find positive things that others are doing. Focus on their strengths and encouraging them in their gifted area.

On this the last day of 2012, keep training yourself to look for the best in others. In 2013, make it your goal to always find the good, the positive in others. See what they are good at, their strengths and then encourage them in that area. For too often it is easy to see the negative and weaknesses in other people. However, that doesn’t build them up, that doesn’t encourage them. If you really want to make a difference in others, then you will have to be different. I understand that in some people you will have to look really hard to find something good, but it is there. Chances are they have been told how useless they are, how no good they are, how no one will ever love them. With that in mind, just telling them one time that they have a purpose, they have a destiny, that God loves them; probably won’t be enough. Take the time to be a positive influence in their life. Make this coming year the greatest year ever; not only for them but yourself as well. Are you going to be a difference maker in 2013?
