Your ability to motivate others to engage in fun activities may be in full swing today, which could be due to your enthusiasm for life as well as your knack for leading people. Even though those around you might be inspired by your zeal, you may want to assess the ways in which you encourage people today. You could consider the language you use to motivate them, such as the ways in which you offer praise, criticism, or suggestions. Thinking about your language could give you greater insight into your ability to affect people. If, for example, you have a tendency to offer praise often, some people may not feel that you are sincere and are simply flattering them. As you begin to look at your language, you may come to a greater understanding of how your language can positively influence others.

Realizing the effects of our language allows us to become aware of the ways in which we can more effectively encourage and persuade others. Our energy and personality are not solely responsible for the influence we have on people – the language we use and how we use it is also a factor. People feel motivated when we give them words of encouragement in a way that works for them and our eagerness inspires them to listen fully to our ideas, which is what leadership is truly about. Knowing how you influence others today will motivate those around you and create a community of supportive and enthusiastic people.
