No holy roller speech here! That's not the 'praise' I'm talking about today. Today, I'm referring to the almighty word, not of the Bible, but what comes tumbling out of your mouth!
"Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it."
Simple praise of a job well done, an effort well pursued, and idea fulfilled; can lead to amazing things. Conversely, negativity can subdue, subvert, and even cripple a person - on many levels. It is often easy to point out what could be done better or more proficiently. Wouldn't it be amazing, though, to raise up the endeavors of someone so they may be spurred on to attempt something else? A little encouragement can have a tremendous effect.
Mind your mouth, today. Realize that verbal viciousness is harmful, not only to those that are on the receiving end, but inevitably for those that dish it out. Praise, however, promotes praise. The vicious cycle is ended and a wonderful ripple is sent upon its way. Praise someone today and see what radiant ripples come back to you!
