Do you need encouragement or critics? This is a powerful question to consider. Most of us judge ourselves with truth and we see everybody else’s “highlight” reel. Which one of those is real?
Andy Albright hosted The Alliance Activity podcast live from his office at NAA headquarters in Burlington, N.C.
People need encouragement and less sarcasm from people and the world. A seed will grow if it is planted in the right environment. More people need to help more people grow. We don’t need to beat them down, we need to raise them up and get them on track. When you believe in somebody and encourage them, you will be shocked by how much it means to them. When you helps others you will see that it actually helps you.
When you build relationships you get well. When you build relationships you grow. It’s natural to grow. The more you can give to others the more you get in return. People who give of their time, money, effort and energy are rewarded in ways you can’t even imagine. Make it a habit to be encourage people in all that you do.
Watch what happens when people pick up on your attitude and encouragement. People will start following you. It will grow and grow.
People need to be on a team. The Alliance is a place that is full of teammates to have your back and encourage you consistently. Tell people that you are proud of them. It’s a simple act that shows people you care and want them to succeed.
