I just received an email from a person that I really think highly of. They said, “You’re one of my favorite guys, Adam!” Do you have any idea how awesome that made me feel? I smiled hugely when I read that. And I’m still smiling. Wow. Talk about an ego boost – it wasn’t just somebody saying, “You’re cool” — it was coming from someone I really think highly of. His words contained so much power.
For somebody, YOU ARE the person that they really think highly of. You are the best in the world at something; and you can reach and connect with certain people better than anyone else in the world. Negative speakers say things that discourage others (can anyone say GOSSIP). Let’s try to be positive speakers and say things to people that will encourage others.
If you’re a negative speaker, KNOCK IT OFF!
If you’re listening to discouraging talk or gossip, let it stop with you!
By the way, covering up gossip as a prayer request is still gossip, “We need to pray for Susie, do you know what Susie did? I just can’t believe it . . .” That’s religionized gossip, but its still gossip.
Words contain power. Use with caution!
I precisely had to say thanks all over again. I’m not certain the things I could possibly have created in the absence of the actual hints discussed by you concerning such concern. It actually was a real difficult condition for me personally, but discovering a new professional fashion you handled it forced me to cry for delight. I’m grateful for the assistance and as well , have high hopes you comprehend what a powerful job you’re carrying out educating men and women by way of your blog. I am certain you’ve never come across all of us.
