I conducted an informal poll asking, “What's your favorite form of encouragement?” Here’s a sampling of the responses I received... A smile, someone showing authentic interest by asking questions, a simple “Hello”, hugs, hearing music, someone letting you know that you’re significant to them, a genuine “Thank you”, feeling someone’s prayers, hearing a funny story or joke, being recognized for making a difference, and gestures of compassion. You see, encouragement doesn’t require degrees, titles, or mystical understandings; it simply requires a heart that cares enough to touch a heart. Hearts filled with courage can rise to any challenge, and you can provide that “special boost” that enables someone to finish their race and change the world! Go ahead and review the list, and then get out there and make a difference! It’s easy to be Simply Encouraging®.
