The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
If you need encouragement, give it. If you need love, give it. Whatever you need, give it away ~ Adrian Rogers — baptist
Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.
Stephen R. Covey
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.
There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.
What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened … Instead of always harping on a man’s faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut … Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out! … People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts
Eleanor Porter
Take a little time out of your busy day to give encouragement to someone who’s lost their way ~ Diana Ross
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves ~ Orson Welles
Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day, week, or life ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Note how good you feel after you have encouraged someone else. No other argument is necessary to suggest that never miss the opportunity to give encouragement.
Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
Abilities wither under criticism; they blossom under encouragement.
Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement – and we will make the goal.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life ~ Tennessee Williams
Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? Surround yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less
Steve Goodier
Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything ~ W. Clement Stone
If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.
You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, ackowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. When we all help one another, everybody wins.
When your dreams are bigger than the places you find yourself in, sometimes you need to seek out your own reminders that there is more. And there is always more waiting for you on the other side of fear.” — Elaine Welteroth
