“Hope is what changes people. Encouragement is the fuel on which that hope runs.” ~ Zig Ziglar.

This great thought is often misunderstood.

If you are hoping your child gets better grades don’t just encourage them to study more; encourage them by helping them study.

If you are hoping for a better relationship don’t just encourage your partner to be better; encourage them by being better yourself.

If you are hoping for a better salary don’t just encourage your boss to pay you more; encourage them by doing more than is expected.

People are more likely to do what they see us do, not what they hear us say.
