Can this really work?/The New Wisdom in Wealth and Health Workshops by Esther Pinkston (229 hits)
There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer where ever you are.
The deepest principal in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
If you treat someone as if they were what they ought to be and could be, they will become what they ought to be and could be.
Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed. There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in you.
Applaud others when they run. Console them when they fail. And cheer them when they recover.
As water is to a flower, so is praise to the heart of another. I'm in agreement with this article because of how "Praise" changed my life. I was a verbally abused kid and would have been very wtihdrawn if it had not been for my dear Mother who would always have a word of praise for me. If I made an "A" there would be praise. If I made a "C" there would be praise. She would say, just keep trying and you'll do better next time. I knew i could always count on Mom and still can until today. She still praises.
We are made in the image of our creator who lives in the midst of praise. He works wonders when we say positive words about Him to others. When you say good things about me , it makes me want to do better and better. However, when negative words are spoken it will bring out the best in you also if you can press forward using the positive reserve you already have. You can then block out the negative and press forward toward the positive. Good article Max
