You have it easily in your purpose to increase the sum total of this world’s happiness now.  How?  By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged.  Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

Encouragement Always.

Encouragement Always.

You are enough.  You don’t need a 4,000 square foot home, three acres of land, a house full of servants, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and in-ground swimming pool, a tennis court, cathedral ceilings, fireplace, a four car garage, or crystal chandeliers.

You are enough.  You don’t need an Italian sports car, a german luxury sedan, leather interior, solid gold plated trim, keyless remote entry, a state of the art alarm system, stereo system and navigational system and cruise control.

You are enough.  You don’t need a diploma from a private school, a bachelor’s degree from an ivy league school, a PHD in physics or a medical degree.

You are enough.  You don’t need leather handbags, Italian loafers, designer dresses, brand name tennis shoes, gold bracelets, diamond earrings, mink coats, leather jackets and pearl necklaces.

Encouragement Always. 

First they ignore you.

Then they laugh at you.

They they fight you.

Then you win.

Encouragement Always.

Rejoice in the fact that you are as meaningful as the sun.  You are as relevant as the moon.  Your presence is as significant as the deepest ocean or the highest mountain.  If that were not true you would not be here.

Encouragement Always.
