I received an uplifting e-mail from my closest and best friend, Dyanne. We’ve been friends since grade school and still today she floods me with her love, encouragement, and admiration though we live miles apart.
Her e-mail came last night just as I was about to turn in for the evening–tired and edgy about something that interfered with my day. Not aware what was going on with me, Dyanne’s encouraging words were the ice cream on the cake. She told me that she was proud of me! Those simple words from my friend warmed my heart and made me cry. She cried too.
I felt compelled to encourage and motivate her. Here is in part what I
shared with my best friend. I too celebrate and encourage you today:
o It is not too late to do what’s in your heart to do.
o Step out! Refuse fear!
o Don’t allow anything or anyone hold you back!
o People will tell you that you can’t. Do it anyway.
o People will take advantage of you. Stick with it.
o People will not celebrate you. Walk in your confidence.
o Everything that you need is already within you. Know this!
o It’s okay to color outside the lines. Dare to be different.
o The world will look differently when you change within!
Not often enough do we hear these words from our peers, but we should. Dan Sullivan said this, “The size of the future you actually experience will largely be determined by one factor: people you choose to connect with. When you invite people who are truly committed to growth into every aspect of your life, your own potential for growth becomes truly unlimited.”
When was the last time you encouraged someone? How did it make you feel?
Let’s Talk.
Sharing my passion,
Deana
