Can you imagine what life would be like if we all encouraged one another to be the best that they can be?
How would it be, if every single soul lit up their lamp of talents and didn’t hide it under a bushel of excuses or discouragement?
I guess absolutely brilliant would be an understatement.
It is commonly said that the graveyard is the richest place with the brightest and untapped talents that are buried and sadly, this is very true.
Let’s keep encouraging those around us to thrive, for we bring about greater good when we do this.
Iron sharpens iron and the energy spent in blowing off someone’s candle is wasted because it won’t make yours shine brighter than it already does.
Below is my first Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Never leave me lonely
With words left unsaid
You walk away into the dark
Like a mist, that melts away.
You hit the nail on the head!

I was just thinking about this…I hear more negative talk about people not believing in others abilities to do something rather than believing in them and supporting them in their new adventure. We need to hold each other up and encourage each other.

We simply have to. That is just the best way. We are each others neighbour and can help to be our brothers/sisters prop.
