Encouragement is what gets us all motivated and then keeps us motivated. We need some form of it either from ourselves or others everyday. It was my hope when I started this blog that I would provide a source of encouragement to all readers. It is important, however for us to not become dependent on the encouragement from others to be our driving force. We must learn to become our own unending source of encouragement. It is also very important to know that there are many forms in which we can find the encouragement that we are searching for. The first and most common source, of course is through words. When someone compliments a job well done, or you overhear them talking positively about something you did it is an incredible self esteem boost that encourages you to do another great thing. What we didn't realize in this scenario is that the encouragement for that person speaking was our ACTION! Another form would be through a following . When others start to follow what you are doing that lets you know that you are doing something awesome. Otherwise why would there be that line of people behind you. This is encouragement through support. And, that support started with our ACTION! There are so many other ways I could come up with, but we would be here all day. The point that I really want to get across is that YOU are really your biggest encouragement ALL the time. Even when you think that it's from the kind words that were spoken about you, or the support that you gained from others all of those things started with YOUR ACTION! Therefore, we have learned that action is the main source of all encouragement for ourselves and others. It has a magnificent effect on every other thing that follows it. So, when you need encouragement and you feel like you have no support right now, remember all the wonderful actions that you have taken to get you to this point and you will realize the encouragement you need is within yourself all the time. Today we will go forth and take ACTION!!!! This action will provide unending sources of encouragement for us and those around us!
