Do you light up people lives when you arrive or do people just hate to see you coming? I try to encourage someone everyday to help them cope with their problems and just life itself.

i try to be caring,complimentary, and helpful. ive been told im well accepted because of my caring nature. but lately, im not sure, when you consider how badly a couple of my sons gf's have put me down. but they may just have been jealous, as all dont do that.

If people have said you had a caring nature then you have a heart of gold. Don't let the sons gf's make u think anything different. Evidently they were doing something and you were trying to correct them. Some people don't take corrections too well. Keep up the good work with the caring nature you will be rewarded in the in.

I try to be an encouraging person to others. I think it's depressing when you are around people who are always negative and don't have anything positive to say. So I want to be the complete opposite. Life in general can be really hard, people have so many things that they are going through and have to deal with so being negative doesn't help at all. To give others courage to endure and be optimistic helps them and also is good for the person doing the encouraging.

I like your attitude toward encouragement. It is a great thing to do to lift up people spirit. You never know what a person is going through just a few encouraging words from you can make that person's day. Keep up the good work. May God bless you and your family.

I try to do the same as well. I try to listen and take the positive. I like trying to encourage people. It's just the way I've always been. I try to look at the positive rather than the negative.

That's great, I heard this morning that everyone should think better of themselves instead of less. You shouldn't belittle yourself, that's like agreeing with the devil. Think positive. Encourage people.

I hope i light up their life. I would hate to think people were not glad to see me. Church is about the only place i see people but they seem glad to see me. I know u can dread to see people. I had a few customers in the shop i felt that way about, lol.

I am mostly like you, I don't get around that much. Church is where I meet most people. I try to say something to encourage the people in the neighborhood. And when I run into some old friends in stores or out paying bills.

Very well said. I am for good encouragement myself. Didn't have much of it when I was growing up now I know better. If I don't get it, I will truly give it. There is a bright side to everything you have to have faith and hope.

Yes, I definitely encourage the people those who work hard and desired to get into a higher position in their life. I used to encourage the some of the poor students live in our area with the require books etc. and also guide them in solving their day to day problems. I feel very happy in doing so.

Very Good. Encouraging people will help brighten their life. Helping poor students to cope with their disabilites is fantastic. We need more people doing this. Be Blessed

I sometimes think I do a better job of encouraging people online than in person. I do try to bear in mind all that others may be going through when I meet them and try to make their day brighter.

There have been a few people in my life who I hope will remember the role I played in making their life what it is today. It is we more than those we help are winners in that the joy one gets to see these people succeeding in life is something only those who have experienced it will know.
