In honor of National Encouragement Day today (9/12), we asked our community for their best words of wisdom. We could all use some encouragement during these tough times. We loved what some of you had to say:
“Life is full of obstacles and they are everywhere you look but if you focus on the positive, that’s everywhere too.” – Rickielee
“Don’t just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won’t happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude.” – Sofia
“No matter what you do, you can never please everyone. Continue doing good anyway.” – Prudence
“Start where you are, with what you have. Not trying is the only true failure.” – Esther
“My favorite is what the kids learned in Tae Kwon Do: it’s not what you say, it’s what you do.” – Deana
“Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe in yourself.” – Jai
“When a challenge arises I ask myself, ‘will it matter in five years?’ Most of the time the answer is NO and I know not to expend any energy on it.” – Melissa

Don’t forget to spread some encouragement to a person in need today.
