Encouragement

To give courage is a good way of saying it.

This day and age we all need to be encouraged, and each of us need to be encouragers. We’re all fighting battles, mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and some days the battle seems a bit more intense. Some courage – even if borrowed from another – would be helpful.

Courage is transferable, just like dis-courage is transferable. Why not belong to the encouragement group of helping, lifting up, building up, holding up. The dis-courage group is seen everywhere…knock down, tear down, close down, telling them why it can’t be done…foolish, stupid, etc. etc. etc.  Is our inner networking built up by encouraging others or by knocking somebody down to go higher?

I believe the majority belong to the encouragement bunch who want to see good, be good and do good. But the dis-couragement bunch tries to prevent it. Sometimes that dis-couragement ‘bunch’ resides inside our own head! We have to root those thoughts out!

In the long run, good will overcome evil, but no sense in causing more suffering along the way by participating in the ‘dis-courage bunch’.

Today, let’s rise higher, think nobler, be better, build more, encourage more and see the difference. It may only be noticeable in you or to you. But all good things start with a single step. You start and take the first step.

Today, I will…:)
