Add value...

Do you look for opportunities to use your words to build up the people in your life? Rather than choosing to condemn or discourage someone, why not strive to catch them doing something right and empower them with encouraging words. Think about this....how do you feel if you are around someone who is constantly picking you apart for everything? Do you feel good about yourself? Your choices? Your future...your relationship with them? Using your words as affirmations can draw people out and add value to them. Does the person next to you today know what they mean to you? Encouraging others takes them to that next level of confidence they may need to move forward with their goal or dream. Constantly be on the lookout for opportunities to fill the emotional bucket or add value to people in your life; in doing so you also add value to your own.
