Thought of the day: Carry good news!

In this world we live in which is so full of negativity, it's so easy to constantly talk about the bad things people do. It seems gossip spreads like fire and yet good news takes so long to get around. It’s sad how as humans we tend to have more fun tearing someone down than building them up. I had a leader sometime ago who was very good at keeping our team encouraged and motivated just by the way she reinforced the good qualities in us. She would get a member of the team to stand at the front and ask five other members to tell the person to their face the things they were good at. There is no better way to encourage someone than letting them know what their strengths are. It helps fire them up inside so that they can get ready to take on the giants in their lives. So today why don’t you try to say something good about other people. Better yet, tell the person to their face what you admire in them. Examples include, “I admire the way you do your work, you are so organized it’s amazing”… OR “You know, you are a really humurous person, you light up the room when you walk in”… OR “You are very intelligent, you always come up with great ideas” …the list is endless. There are lots of pressures everyone is dealing with in their personal lives and nice words of encouragement from a collegue, workmate, friend, parent, or lover will go a long way in making one’s day better. When you say encouraging words to others, they too will in turn say encouraging words to you. Don’t be a messenger of doom but be a carrier of good news and bless somebody today!

Be Blessed
