I want to be known as an encourager.
I believe that every interaction leaves an impression. I want you to feel glad that I came along in your day.
I caught a video of gospel singer Amy Grant recounting the best life advice she ever received. It came from World War II veteran Jimmy Gentry.
- He told her to hold up five fingers to represent five words: I am proud of you.
- Drop one finger down to four: Can I help you?
- Then three: I Love You.
- Two: Thank You.
- One: We.
There’s power in each one of those statements.
The more they roll off our lips, the better the people around us will feel.
Make them part of your vocabulary.
