People must remind each other that it can be done, and it must
be done. We must keep up each other's courage. In that way, we
are enormously strong." ~ Vincent van Gogh
Good morning! I love "I CAN" people. Much of my business success
and personal contentment rests in forming a network of stable
and consistent "I CAN" colleagues and friends. When we associate
with people who inspire and encourage we catapult ourselves
forward. Likewise, when we associate with people who doubt and
discourage we quickly stall or move backward.
I have carefully chosen my close friends and my current
employees, each of whom reflects the I CAN attitude. We also
have the I CAN attitude in our home. When I travel or go out for
a day of shopping or errands I am often astounded by the amount
of negativity and discouragement in the world. I wonder why
people would choose to spend time in such a place when they
could create positive and encouraging surroundings over time. It
certainly doesn't happen overnight. We all have our share of
negative people that we have to deal with. We may also treat
ourselves negatively. But as adult women, we also have the right
to shape our future by proactively choosing who we spend our
time with.
This beautiful quote is so powerful because it reminds us how
important our words of encouragement can be to one another. It
is our encouragement that create strength and positive action.
Your Turn Who do you need to give encouragement to today?
Who can you help be strong through positive words? Likewise, who
encourages you? What can you do to spend more time with those
people? Who discourages you? What steps can you take to spend
less time with those who doubt and discourage?
Your Affirmation "Each day I encourage and support those
around me through word and action.".
