Motivational Monday…Encouragement

Good morning, Kathy... you hit the nail on the head with this post and the quotes from Anatole France and Goethe.

Hello Kathy - encouragement can go a long way.  And if that trait is unfamiliar to you, start small.  And let it grow. . .    It works well in countless situations.  

Encouragement is an amazing thing - it can be just what is needed to get to the end zone!

I have seen this with small children, and it always warms my heart.  I will see a small child in a grocery store or somewhere staring at me, as if wondering, and when I wave or smile, they immediately perk up with a big smile and joy in their heart.

Good morning Kathy. Must say your determination, as strong as it may be, often moves to a new level with a simple word of encouragement. Enjoy your day. 

Thank you for sharing motivation on this Monday morning.  I need it as am headed out to put up and/or repair signs on some listings.  Have a great Monday and week Kathy Streib 

Good morning Kathy,

Encouragement is a powerful thing! You can make or break a day for someone by giving them that nudge! I like what the guy next to you said when you started riding the bike..it made all the difference in motivating you!

Kathy, Everyone need a little boost now and then and it’s a gift we can give so easily.

Good Monday morning, Kathy.

Your message is a good reminder for all of us.

My brother was (as a parent) the type that used negative reinforcement (with his daughter) to "get results"

It was a mistake. Encourage and give positive reinforcement. 

So very true, encouragement will do far more than yelling at someone. We also need to learn to be kind to ourselves and talk the same way.

Kathy simple actions like this go a long way in assisting and encouraging someone else.

Thank you for sharing this heartfelt reminder, Kathy Streib. I really appreciate how you highlighted the power of a simple kind word or gesture. It's often those small moments that make the biggest difference. Grateful for your thoughtful post and the encouragement it brings! 😊

Hello Kathy and this year I think I need some pat on the backs from people, but maybe just getting old.

Kathy in my world 'encouragement' is key to being a successful leader- and that is whether it's business or personal.  It takes so little to cheer a fellow soul on....you've got this, you can do this......make it happen.  You know the drill!!!

Kathy:

Encouragement can mean so much to someone and it takes such little effort. You just never know what that smile, thumbs up or a few words can mean to someone in need.

Those are terrific quotes - thank you for sharing them.

Kind words really do work magic. The smallest thing can change the course of someone's day or even life!
