When The Tide Rises, All The Ships Go Up.

I've been a part of WA for several weeks now and I'm convinced there is a lot being offered here. It certainly meets the criteria of what I've been looking for, especially in methodology,
The Power of Encouragement
In conjunction with the teaching and resources I have especially been pleased with the level of encouragement shared among us. I'm an optimistic person so it is quite fulfilling to me. I especially enjoy reading the reports about progress, success, and discoveries that are revealed to help the rest of us. When seeing these reports I am reminded of something I heard in a seminar years ago: "When the tide rises, all the ships go up", and we all want our individual ships to go up. That is a pretty common theme cited in our profiles. I firmly believe there is great power in encouragement that can help us all.

An Enemy of Encouragement
On the contrary, there are many things that can discourage us...too many possibilities to delve into here. But one of the greatest enemies is jealousy. We have to realize we are all at different stations in this WA environment, each making our way forward. Jealousy of what someone has already achieved will only get in the way of our own progress. On the other hand, embracing their success and learning from it will serve us well. And giving feedback to achievers will become an encouragement to them and open the door for them to share more with us in the future. We need to let the successful know that we want to hear what they have to say and not let jealousy get in the way.
We are all a work in progress
We all have strengths as well as weaknesses. We all have knowledge germane to our individual histories and the lives we are living. And we all have things to learn. None of us have "arrived" but we are striving.
I can't speak for anyone else but one of my biggest challenges is simply keeping up with all that is going on and afforded us here. It has helped to identify individuals whose approaches coincide with mine and I read their posts with intention. I'm appreciative of being here.
The more we can pour into the tide of encouragement, the higher and sooner our ships will rise.
