Encouragement: What comes to mind when you think of this word?
The word that comes to mind when I think of encouragement is support – positive support.
I am fortunate that I am surrounded by people who encourage me on a regular basis. We encourage each other – to be better, to try new things, to create change in our lives, to empower others, etc.
Having people encourage you gives you the strength to try new things, to achieve things you feel are bigger than you, it helps you achieve things that you probably wouldn’t try on your own.
When we are encouraged, we have the courage and motivation to do different things.
