Do you ever wish someone understood, appreciated, respected, and loved you for who you are? This is because we were built for intimacy—a close, deeply satisfying relationship that empowers, edifies, and encourages us to the core. Experiencing absolute disconnection from others awakens fear in most of us. But in the same way, nothing stimulates our human spirit like the experience of a loving connection—something that assures us that we are not alone and that we are accepted and acceptable to someone.
When love is felt, the message is heard! Love is the glue of our connections. Love is the only hope for overcoming our isolation.
The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say, “I believe in you.” “Follow your passion and live your purpose.” “If you have the desire, then you also have the power to make it happen.” “Keep working hard. You’re improving and getting better. Keep it up.”
We all need encouragement! We love being around people who inspire us and make us feel great. And while we’ll always remember the negative people who told us we couldn’t accomplish something, we love and hold a special place in our hearts for those who encouraged us.
Today, decide to be that person who instills a positive belief in someone who needs to hear your encouraging words. Uplift someone who is feeling down. Fuel others with your positive energy. Rally others to focus on what is possible rather than what seems impossible. Share encouragement. It will help build your relationships. It matters—and we all need it.
