I haven’t often thought about how my words effects those around me, however, today I was reminded that encouraging words plant a seed of hope in someone’s heart. I feel that it is vital that we encourage those around us, and let them know that they are created for greatness, no matter how dark it may seem. It is also important that we remember how good it feels to have an encouraging word when we were filled with self doubt.
Tomorrow, I challenge you to speak encouraging words to at least one other person. Let them know you see greatness in them. That they work hard and you have noticed their drive. Anything will work.
Let’s all work together to spread positivity in a world that so often feels negative.

Challenge accepted! I know that whenever someone speaks encouragement to me it pushes me on to greater endeavour far more than a critical word. So that’s the gift I’ll give someone else today 🙂
