COSTS YOU NOTHING

ENCOURAGEMENT.

Recieving can make the difference between success and failure; the difference between pressing on and passing; the edge in wining and losing.

Giving it costs you nothing.

Why is it that so many people have a hard time giving encouragement? Their past? Their present? Themselves? Encouragement makes everyone of us feel appreciated and loved and when we feel good we do good and when we do good we feel good so why don't more people give something of such great value when the price is so right?

Kids are really something here. When they receive encouragement from someone they look up to (and that is the key...you may feel they do not look up to you, but you would be shocked to realize that they most likely do), they get a bit shy and nervous and excited and then it hits them...'Hey! Wait a minute! I just did something that went good! I was just told I did good! My coach/dad/mom/teacher/neighbor/grandparent/aunt/uncle/friend just said I CAN be or do and I believe them!!!!!!!" Their confidence soars. Their face can't contain their smile. At that moment they are world changers!!!!

Isn't that what we want?

How about your fellow work compatriots? Spouse? Friends? We are all just like kids inside. We crave for someone to encourage us and help us excel and succeed.

The true encouragers see what someone CAN BECOME. When you get someone in your life like that, you are truly blessed.

Maybe you need to give more out today than you receive. And maybe you need to receive more than you give, today. But in anycase I'm here to tell you this:

YOU ARE UNIQUELY CREATED. YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL. YOU POSSESS AND HAVE INSIDE OF YOU TRAITS AND ABILITIES THAT YOU WERE DESIGNED TO USE AND APLPLY FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS, AND BY SO DOING ACHIEVE GREAT PERSONAL SUCCESS. YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU ARE TALENTED! LET THOSE ABILITIES AND TALENTS BE USED TO THEIR MAXIMUM TODAY AND EVERYDAY. I TOTALLY BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN MAKE IT! DON'T STOP NOW! YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!!

Now, go for it and encourage someone near you!

MTC!
