Encourage

Someone has said that to encourage means to fill someone with courage. We all need encouraging on a daily basis. Who will you encourage today? Who will I encourage today? As Life Coaches, part of our job is to encourage those around us. How can I do that best?

1) I can be intentional and look for people who seem down or unenthusiastic. I can engage them, with the intention of giving them a boost.

2) I can be enthusiastic and passionate about life myself and make sure that these qualities are exhibited in my actions.

3) I can make a genuine effort to try to turn negative conversations to positive ones.

4) I can create a positive greeting. "How are you?" "I'm absolutely excited about life and couldn't be any happier!"

5) I could create an encouraging greeting for my answering machine.

6) I could write about "encouraging" on my Blog and just encourage the dickens out of everyone who reads that day.

7) I could speak some words of encouragement to you right now. Life is good. As believers in Christ, we have every resource necessary for a successful, fulfilling, and joyful life. Today, you can tap into joy. Today, you are blessed! Every blessing in the Heavens is yours to experience right now, while you're on the earth. God wants us to prosper physically, soulishly, and spiritually. Take Him up on it! God loves you, and there's nothing you can do about it. So Smile!
