For any of us to reach our potential it takes many things combining over time; it's not an accident and each element is as important as the other in the process. One of those critical elements is that of encouragement and I believe a person should be able to encourage themselves, positive self-talk, and that they should be encouraged externally as well.
A word of encouragement is powerful and can change lives when delivered genuinely and at the right moment and it comes in many ways such as verbal praise, a gesture or a few worlds of respect and gratitude written or spoken just to name a few.
Encouragement helps bring focus, a sense of pride and achievement and can fortify and strengthen us allowing people to delve more deeply into their reserves to find even greater results; I believe it's also encouragement that helps people find and positively use all those other elements that help them see and attain their full potential.
I've very fortunate and blessed to have a man in my life who encourages me. That's not the only reason I manage to reach closer to my potential but it helps so much and I'm grateful for it. I know some people who are not as lucky and while they go ok I feel quite confident that with a little encouragement they could be doing much better.
Such true words. I am my own worst critic and sometimes to critical on myself to the point of beating myself down to nothing. Being self critical is something I've always been, but never to this extent. Lately I have been doing as you mention, which is poitive self-talk. It seems to be working, as is my increase in activity.
Leann Rhimes has such a good voice. I love listening to her music.
Hi Joe, I hope you're having a nice week.
There's merit in looking at oneself because it's a way to understand what is being done well and building on it or what isn't done well and is an opportunity for development, but being very self-critical can be destructive and I'm glad you've seen that and are looking for ways to work around it.
I love LeAnn Rimes and saw her in concert once. She's not a dynamic performer jumping all over the stage like Pink is for instance, but it was an amazing concert in it's own way. I'd go again.

Words have a lot of power for better or worse and words of encouragement are important in life, it can help even more in certain situations like the one you mention, I will tell you that in my case that encouragement from people who appreciate me and see my work.
I couldn't listen to the song in that video, it tells me that someone has blocked it in my country for copyright. But I could listen to it from another video, thanks Becca.💗
Do you also work in some ways to encourage yourself? Encouragement from others is amazing and so important but I think it's also important to find it within ourselves as well.

All the time, I encourage myself in various ways, for example by giving myself small rewards for goals achieved, and above all by talking to myself, visualising positively and meditating.
Thank you Becca.💗
Yeah, words of encouragement are very powerful.
Those words can heal emotional wounds and any sort of wounds.
Though they might not solve the problem, but they gives strength to push through and achieve success.
I am happy for you that you have such a man in your life that encourages you a lot. It's a beautiful gift to have.thanks for sharing this nice piece.
I'm very fortunate to have my life and have worked hard to build and nurture it and am blessed to have my guy.
