When you affirm people’s dreams you help their dreams become more
real than their doubts. Like the repetition of a weight-lifting regimen,
routine compliments build up people’s qualities and strengthens their
personalities.
But good affirmations are about more than compliments. They must be about acknowledgements.
When you compliment someone you are talking about a choice they made. For example, “I like that shirt you are wearing.”
When you acknowledge someone you are affirming who they are directly with heart to heart communication. You are encouraging them. For example: “I really liked the way you expressed your feelings in a constructive manner in a difficult situation.” There is tremendous power in affirming ‘who’ someone is. And, you are encouraging them to exhibit this type of behavior in the future.
“There are high spots in all of our lives,” wrote author George Matthew Adams, “and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else.”
Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
