7 Essential Beauty Tips
Beauty
Beauty is defined as the phenomenon of the experience of pleasure, through the perception of balance and proportion of stimulus. It involves the cognition of a balanced form and structure that elicits attraction and appeal towards a...
Balancing Mars and Venus in Each of Us
When we think of ourselves first and foremost as human, we've taken the first step towards regaining our balance. Gender does not define who we are. Gender is nothing more than a biological point of view. Once we take 2,500 years of ego- and...
Does Money Buy Happiness?
According to researchers (footnote, E.g., Martin Seligman, Daniel Kahneman, Ed Deiner), money buys happiness only to a very limited extent. Not having money- that is, a family income of less than 30,000- is related to less happiness, but once your...
Life Is Easy, Isn't It?
"Life is easy" seems easily understood intellectually. Take what comes along with thanks and gratitude; the circumstances and choices we make are perfect for us. All this feels right when said in a contemplative atmosphere. But after a few doses of...
Stress and Depression are Killing Us!
A short generation ago, families could set their watch by the time the father got home from work each day. My dad always walked through the front door at precisely 6 PM and supper was served at 6:10. We’d all sit around the table discussing the...

Encouragement!
ENCOURAGEMENT ©Lee Wise 2002
I opened my email and read this from my friend Jim: "This is probably directly from God. I had a long chat with Keith yesterday about my need to be an encouragement to him.
Thank you for the thought and good ideas on how to be what I need to be."
I had shared with Jim some of the simple thoughts you are about to read. Then Jim sent me his note.
You know what? I loved it! Such a simple thing. "Just" a note.
I was encouraged.
SO WHAT IS ENCOURAGEMENT?
I like to think of encouragement this way:
*"Encouragement is giving a moment of sunshine to the soul of another person."
Just a moment of sunshine. Let me repeat that: "just a moment."
Many times that is all we need, right? It was a short note from my friend.
Very short.
I doubt if it took him more than five minutes to write and less for me to read.
But it touched my heart.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE MANY!
The beauty of encouragement is that it can be delivered in so many types of "packages."
It is as creative and thoughtful *as I am.*
I can send a note, say a kind word, surprise someone with my own unique "sunshine basket" as my wife calls them, take an extra moment to "connect" with a person by my smile, And...
You complete the rest!!
Remember: "just a moment."
ENCOURAGEMENT TAKES NO SPECIAL TALENT
It is not unique to any one person. Its uniqueness lies
in the fact that each one of us has the ability to make our expression of encouragement *unique to us and our situation.*
We all have a huge "encouragement bank" from which we can withdraw to share with others.
What a wonderful gift!!
ENCOUAGEMENT CHANGES PEOPLE
When you and I encourage others as a habit we counter negativity, bitterness and complaining.
We bring hope, healing and comfort.
In short, we bring positive changes into our world and the world of people around us.
JUST FOR TODAY!
Go ahead. Try it.
Just for today.
It doesn't matter if the one I choose to encourage doesn't respond in the best possible way.
It really doesn't.
The point is *I freely give it!*
Besides, it's neat to lay my head down on that on that pillow at the end of the day and know I have tried.
ONE MORE TIME!
*"Encouragement is giving a moment of sunshine to the soul of another person."
Got your moment of encouragement planned?
Remember, someone just like Lee may be sitting at his computer waiting for that surprise package you will deliver to him today!!
