Encouragement
Shame never changed anyone.
Shame only points out the worst in us. Most people only hear what we're not, but we crave to hear who we really are. I think people are so down on themselves already. You’ve got to pull out the best in them.
That's what honor does. When I honor you and I honor your time, I receive the best version of you.
You’ve got to become people's biggest cheerleader because they are not their biggest cheerleader. I'm not the biggest cheerleader in my life. I need voices, sources, strengths of encouragement. I don't know anybody that woke up today and is like, "You know, my biggest problem is I'm just way too encouraged."
Nope. Everyone I know is a little bit discouraged. You’ve got to become people's biggest cheerleader and help them believe in themselves. How do you know when people need encouragement? My response is, are they breathing?
