REACHING UP

The secret to feeling great about yourself is not to be found in searching for people who are less than you and then show yourself superior to them, but in searching for people who are more than you and then show yourself worthy of their company.Quote by Erik NaggumErik Naggum (June 13, 1965 – June 17, 2009) was a Norwegian computer programmer recognized for his work in the fields of SGML, Emacs and Lisp.  Since the early 1990s he was also a provocative participant on various Usenet discussion groups.

ENCOURAGEMENT AND REASSURANCE

REVOLVING DOOR NYC By Joseph White The Phillips Collection - Washington DC Reassurance always runs out.  Reassurance implies that the only reason to go forward is because it's certain to work.  Reassurance is futile. Encouragement means that someone sees us, understands us and believes in us.  Even (especially) when things don't turnout as we hoped.  Encouragement lasts.  Encouragement is self-fueling and self-fulfilling. FROM:  Seth Godin Daily Blog Post REFLECTION: Reassurance is the feeling of being reassured, of having confidence restored, of having apprehensions dispelled while encouragement is the act of encouraging; incitement to action or to practice (source: WikiDiff) How often do you offer encouragement to another? Is there someone who needs encouragement now vs. reassurance? Do you or someone you love need encouragement? I encourage you to take some action today!
