I was reminded yesterday as I was running in my neighborhood that encouragement goes a LONG way.
A car drove past me and a young guy and girl honked at me and gave me the yay, keep going, good job, chant! Well that 2 seconds of encouragement pumped me up and I ran the last half mile with much more speed and determination. They didn't have to do that but they wanted to let me know that they knew I could do it. I didn't know them but at that moment they were my brother and sister.
That got me thinking about everyday life. We are here for a purpose. In this day and time with so much negativity and tearing people down and apart over crazy stuff, we should be encouraging each other. We should be helping one another and giving the whoo hoo yell for those who are striving to excel, and for those who are struggling and facing trouble and trials.
Just a thought. What a difference it could make if everyone did that. Kindness would take over the meanness. Love would overcome hate and our world would look more like it should.
