I Need Encouragement

This is a request you would rarely get or hear from strangers, yet it is one of the essential fuels that propel us to dizzy heights.

I need encouragement, you need encouragement, every human needs encouragement – it’s one of our basic needs. Otherwise, imagine yourself writing an article or blog to which you poured out your heart and soul. Toiled to make it perfect and then publish it. Weeks later, not one person liked it or commented on it. How would it make you feel?

That’s my point!

Encouragement works because other people’s opinion matter, whether we admit it or not.

Words of encouragement sooth and lights up the heart, bloat confidence and generally make us feel good.

“Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.” - Jerome P. Fleishman

When you give encouragement, it also makes you feel good. As we comment on other people’s blogs and articles, let’s be generous and sincere in giving encouragement. It will come back to the giver.

Chuka, You, I, and everyone here at WA wish all of us well and are a community that stands behind us. I just realized that sounds a little contorted but you get the idea. Have a great day.

Barbara Hi. No, it's not contorted at all. We all need encouragement because it is a basic human need and it's even better when we give it because it will come back :)

Much appreciated Linda :)

Having grown up in a household where encouragement was seldom given, I used to view any positive feedback with suspicion. Now, I accept what is freely given, and give back where I can!

That's beautiful Robin. In my line of work, many people still find it difficult to be open to accept it. The joy is in giving it because it will freely flow back. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi Chuka,
I Just opened the activity dashboard.
We are in agreement, everybody needs encouragement, although some people may not want to accept it.
I like your blog but what I like the most is your honesty expressed through the entire message.

Chuka, that's a great point. This is a large community and we all have similar goals, so encouragement here should be in abundance. Thanks for the reminder!
