You might notice a desire to inspire and support others today. Your motivation to encourage others may come from your own positive experiences and the wish to impart the wisdom you have gained from these encounters. Perhaps today you might want to focus on the ways in which you give encouragement. You can think about the phrases you use and the ways you respond to people. When giving praise, for example, you could concentrate on giving genuine praise for a specific task and not just an immediate unthinking response. You might also consider waiting for someone to ask you for your expertise and avoiding jumping in immediately with your own examples and advice. If you act too much like a cheerleader for others, they may not feel like your encouragement is genuine and could be hesitant to trust you.
Supporting others in a conscientious manner allows them to trust in us more completely. There are times when we can be carried away when giving support to other people. We might constantly lavish praise or pipe into the conversation with our own stories. But by waiting for someone to come to us or by giving our approval with awareness, we are truly responding to their needs. We furnish others with a place where they know they can trust us with their problems and they will be fully heard. We are then able to provide others with the advice they really need. By creating a feeling of trust with others through your responses today, you will be able to truly inspire them.
