“There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don’t care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.” -George Matthew Adams

You can always tell by looking at someone how good they are feeling inside. Some are better than others at hiding their emotions, but most of us tend to wear our hearts on our sleeves. The man above appears to be encouraged about his current circumstances and that feeling is often contagious.

When was the last time you were so encouraged by someone that it enabled you do something remarkable that you otherwise would not have done? Or tell us about a time where someone showed extreme confidence in you, even in failure. That feeling of excitement inside often pushes us to do great things. We want to hear from you!

And while you are at it, take the time to encourage someone around you today. It may be exactly what they need.
