“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” – Yehuda Berg
Whether you’re just starting out or a grizzled veteran; a student, baker, or candlestick maker; aspiring artist or decision maker; at a cross roads in life or considering starting something new, the right words at the right time can make all the difference. I can’t imagine anyone going through life who hasn’t needed a little encouragement from time to time. The beauty of providing it costs you nothing, is easy enough for anyone to do, and can make all the difference in the world to those who receive it. And one more thing worth noting, it can come to us at any age and from anybody, all we need to do is accept it.
“Life gets hard, but you will get through it. You will make new friends and create a new chapter of life!”
