To those who have encouraged and mentored me -- THANK YOU! Todays thought from Hazelden is: I feel best about having helped others believe in themselves. --Bud Sherman Encouragement is one of the greatest gifts we can give one another. Chances are we can all remember someone who encouraged us many years ago. Perhaps a teacher or an employer took a special interest in us, and we have never forgotten that person. Its likely we are remembered in much the same way by someone else, too. Its nice to savor these memories, isnt it? There is nothing stopping us from continuing to make memories for others. We will experience people and situations today that will benefit if we pass on encouragement and praise. We will benefit as well. It feels good to acknowledge anothers contributions to the world. It strengthens our own willingness to contribute. No conversation is without purpose. Even those exchanges that seem meaningless offer us opportunities for bettering someone elses opinion of themselves. What greater offerings have we to make than to be loving and helpful to someone traveling this path with us? If we havent given much attention to this part of our assignment before, lets begin now. The homework will make all of us feel much better. A few words of encouragement to another is all thats asked of me today. I can handle that.
