I want to give up. You won’t let me.

I felt like I can’t do it. You tell me I can.

I don’t think it’s possible. You smile as you inform me that you’ve ‘got my back.’

I don’t feel smart enough. You tell me how wise I am.

I feel so insignificant. You thank me for the positive impact that I’ve had on your life.

I don’t think I can continue. You tell me how much you admire my persistence and dedication.

I feel beat up. Your words replenish my energy.

It is too much for me to carry. You tell me how strong I am.

The thousands of ants who laughed when this little guy spoke of his dream to steal the luscious, ripe, green apple from the picnic are are now forgotten thanks to the one single ant who offered his small word of encouragement: “I know you can do it, friend. I have faith in you!”

Cheesy? Perhaps. Relevant? You betcha, bud.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of words. Your encouragement has the ability to change lives.

Join me in encouraging someone today. God only knows how much some of us can use it. Chances are you already know of somebody who could use a compliment or two.
