A kind Word

A kind word.
Yesterday I was talking to a long time friend of mine whom I had not talked to in quite a while.  He wanted to compliment me, something that he wanted to tell me over 20 years ago.  Well he took that opportunity to do that yesterday.  It has made my day! 
The impact our words have on people are so far reaching...even to share a compliment from 20+ years ago.  You just never know what your words will mean to someone...a word of encouragement...a word of support...a word of belief... a word of praise.  Positive and uplifting words go a long way.  People won't remember you for what you did, but for how you made them feel.
Isn't that what we are doing here?  We celebrate each other!  We encourage each other!  We support each other!  We believe in each other!   This is how we succeed.  This is accountability.  This is community.  I love it here!
I won't remember how much weight you lift or how much weight you lose or how strong you are..but, I will remember how you made me feel.
So share a kind word today. 

The same thing works for ourselves.  The power of self talk and positive affirmations.   When other people are not around, we have to encourage ourselves.  We have to believe in ourselves.  We need to give ourselves positive, uplifting words.  We have to be accountable to ourselves..

But look at how much farther we can go with the help and encouragement of others.

Food was good...but could be better.
Muscle C workout done!  and each one of you came to mind.
Attitude today was uplifted.
I am so grateful for a compliment coming about 20+ years "late"..but so on time!
