Great Encouragement

There is no better way to begin to express your own greatness than by offering encouragement to others and yourself to be your best.

Encouragement isn’t just about being nice; it’s looking for ways to improve someone else’s life. It’s bringing out the best in others. When you start your day, don’t just spend time thinking about yourself or how you can make your own life better. Think about ways you can make someone else’s life better, too! Ask yourself, “Who can I encourage today? Who can I build up?” You have something to offer those around you that no one else can give. Someone in your life needs your encouragement. Someone in your life needs to know that you believe in them. We are responsible for how we treat the people God’s placed in our lives. He’s counting on us to bring out the best in our family and friends. Look for ways to give you creative ways to encourage those around you. As you sow seeds of encouragement and bring out the best in others, God will send people along your path that will build you up, too. Keep encouraging others today. Is there someone you should encourage today?
