Encouragement. Something I received as a child from my mother. Not much from daddy, not from any teachers, not from anyone else.
Today is National Day of Encouragement.
It is held each September 12 in the name of positive impacts upon other people.
A few words of encouragement gives you the power to provide uplift to someone when they are down.
It can also be a source of help when another is struggling.
You can encourage someone to pick themselves back up after a setback.
Perspective provides that impetus for improvement in all aspects of existence.
Praise and encourage for the efforts of another is something to strive for and attain all year long.
This day orginates from the 2007 of a group of young people at the National Leadership Forum at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. They originated this idea of The Encouragement Project. Thus began the National Day of Encouragement.
It was an attempt to overcome the grim reality of that lack of encouragement when presented as the main obstacles with the youth.
To overcome negative influences was the thrust of the project.
So if you can find it upon yourself to offer a little encouragement every now and then you will surely have great impact on the evolution of society here in the United States.
