Encouragement from the head is good, but whatever courage it may take for you to give it out of your heart will result in a win! Gold!

Come on, how much does it cost to talk to someone? You can do it. Let the words flow from your heart, especially to the girl of your dreams.

Just a friendly nod, or a genuine, ‘Good morning’, or ‘Have a great day’ can lift a person’s attitude. We can’t get inside someone’s head so we’ll never know what’s going on in their life. One word at the right time can really make a difference.

This is a gem from the Work Manual:

And let us consider how we may spur [encourage] one another on toward love and good deeds. (Hebrews 10:24 NIV)

That is, lovingly encourage others to ‘extract the digit’ and make it happen.

Remember: Encourage, encourage, encourage. We can change the world for the better with this one. It beats criticism and judgement any day of the week.

Champions, this is another favourite of mine from the Work Manual:

‘Do not hold back encouragement from those who deserve it when it is in your power to act’ (Proverbs 3:27).

How good is that!

I want to repeat this one. ‘Do not hold back encouragement when it’s within your power to give it.’ So come on, let’s do it.

Fellas, the more we learn to give and receive encouragement the more we get to experience that place of being a satisfied bloke in all areas of our life.
