The Art of Proactive Encouragement

There's a saying that I believe holds true. It says, "if you
wish to receive more of life's rewards, look to create more
value for others".

The question then becomes how does one go about creating
value. This is an area where most folks over think it in my
humble opinion.

Giving value can, and does come in many forms. It can range
from the referral which leads to a new source of business,
all the way down to the person who shares a smile with
another -- that in turn helps them start their day on a
positive note.

A simple, but effective way to create value...

One of the simplest ways I know to make a positive impact is
to adopt the role of people builder and encourager to
others. If you will look for opportunities to point out the
good in those around you, you'll begin to notice that others
are not only more attracted to you, but that in many cases
bigger and better opportunities are as well.

The simple fact that so few people practice the art of
proactive encouragement puts those who make it a regular
part of their routine in an enviable place.

In a world where more often than not others are more
interested in bringing others down, to make themselves look
better, those who build others up are a valuable asset to
have around. Be that person, and you'll begin to reap more
of the rich rewards that go along with doing so.
