Encouragement! Yes, other languages say this word, too! *
A well-worded encouragement is valuable. It’s different from a compliment — so take a longer look at encouragement.
Can you recall any particular person who, at some time, encouraged you? Do you remember what they said? How did you react or reply?
When you are given encouragement you may be strengthened in your efforts because you’ve been acknowledged for what you have already done, and recognized for the grand possibilities in your future. Specific abilities may be mentioned, certain obstacles may be acknowledged. Some particular suggestion could be included.
Can you recall any words from someone that, at first, challenged or irritated you, but it made you think longer about the situation? How did you respond?
Did you grow emotionally or spiritually from any comments, written or verbal, someone made to you?
Were there times when you needed a kind, helpful word, but no one spoke up to encourage you? Did this teach you something?
How are you at giving some words of encouragement? Is it easier for you to give verbal encouragement or written encouragement?
Our goal in life is beyond survival, it’s to achieve a personal goal of success.
