You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime." -- Dale Carnegie It is amazing what power our words have to lift others up. You know how it feels when someone says something nice to you: Your spirit soars, sometimes for hours or even days. This is one of the great gifts of human kind. Just as you have the ability to have your spirit lifted high, you also have the ability to lift someone else's spirit. Your kind words may be the fuel that gets someone through the day. Your words of encouragement may be what pushes someone to finally try something that becomes a tremendous success. The fact is, you never know what will result other than that the person will enjoy it very much, and that in and of itself may be the best reason of all to say those words you hold in your heart.
Here is a new challenge for you... tell someone how much you appreciate them. Be specific. Pick up the phone, walk into the other room, or email them. Whatever you need to do. How many times have you looked back on your days and wished you would have told someone something but for some reason held back. Short and sweet that is all someone needs.
