Most people deal with fear and negativity from within and from without each day. We might even doubt whether we can finish whatever it is that we started out to do. There are so many times when an encouraging word is the difference between us quitting or continuing.

Encouraging words are gifts. We should all make it a point to be encouraging to the people in our world (circle, environment).
When you offer encouragement to someone, not only are you giving him or her a gift, but in that moment, by taking your eyes off of yourself, you are defeating self-centeredness.

Why do people often find it easier to point out the weaknesses they see in someone rather than finding ways they can be encouraging. How can people so easily point out the area someone can improve in and find it hard to tell someone where they are doing a great job? What's wrong with having the reputation of being the most encouraging person in your "circle"?

I think today should be a day to go on a criticism fast... even if you have a legitimate criticism or even if you feel like your criticism is "constructive," don't share it. Just for today, let only encouraging words come out of your mouth.

That's my challenge to you...are you brave enough to take the challenge?

Every one of you is special to me in your own particular way and I love you All!
