The Kindness of an Encouraging Word

"Encouragement is free, and beyond measure in value."
~ William DeFoore

I recently needed to have what I anticipated would be a difficult conversation.  I was dreading it.  Then I spoke to one of my dearest friends who pointed out that I had been handling the situation well.  His words of encouragement tweaked my perspective enough that I went into the meeting with a different view.  Predictably, it went much better than I had thought.  Sometimes all we need is someone to hold a mirror up and remind us of what we can do.
