I read somewhere that the people who encourage you the most are those that don’t even know their doing it. These people are "lovers" and "encouragers" by habit and passion. They know no other way to be. Thankfully there are a number of these folks walking the planet. Certainly, Corporate America is in need of more of them.
When you encounter someone who encourages you, thank them. They’re pouring gold into your life.
Here are a few tips to identify the "lovers" and "encouragers:"
- Look for those that are more interested in you than the circumstances (current numbers, process flows, etc.).
- Look back and see the "milestones" the person has left you. If you see a pattern of love and encouragement, you’ve found someone special.
- Look for vision, someone who believes in the unknown.
Value the encounters because we’re only granted a limited time to do what we must do.
