Good Morning Friends,

 

Wednesday has arrived, to see if we're ready for the remainder of the week; are you ready? The message for the day concerns where we are in our journey. Do you cheer people on or bring them down when they come to you? Sometimes we don't realize the impact we have on those around us when we have a negative or bad attitude. We all have times when we're not at our best, or even in a positive frame of mind. Think about the message and how it can help you in your journey.   

 

 

A great way to show yourself what is possible is to help someone else to learn to grow and do more than they ever thought they could.

"In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us." Flora Edwards

 

 

Be the Cheerleader

 

Years ago I stumbled across this little book that talked about ‘balcony people,’ the people who cheer us on no matter what. They are there for us to encourage us and lift us up. Those people seem to have it easy because they probably do! When you have a good attitude it’s easier to see the good in everything. When you cheer people on, people return the favor. Then there are ‘basement people’ who try to pull us down with their negativity, telling us we’re not good enough, smart enough or that we’ll never make it. You have to get away from those kind of people. If you can’t get away from those people because they’re your family, shut your ears to it and don’t let it define who you are. Don’t let anyone steal your joy or your hope. The flip side of that is learning what kind of person are you to others. Do you encourage others? Do you uplift people who doubt themselves? Do you help others overcome their fears? Do you motivate people to use their talents and chase their dreams? Where do you fall – in the balcony or in the basement?

 

Here’s an idea, come down from the balcony or up from the basement to the sideline and cheer people on by their side. More people need cheerleaders. Even when you feel like you need to be a voice of reason, do it in such a way that sheds a positive light on the person or the situation. Uplift, motivate, encourage. Remember those three words when you talk to your loved ones. And they will remember your love always. Just a thought.

 Sometimes we all need help...........

 

TECH: Hello, Friendly Internet. May I help you?

CUSTOMER: Oh, hello young man. I was wondering if you offer online banking?

TECH: We're an Internet service provider, ma'am. You can certainly use our service to connect to online banking.

CUSTOMER: What do I need to do that?

TECH: You just need the modem in your computer. That plugs into a phone jack. Sign up for an account, and sign up for online banking with your bank.

CUSTOMER: But where does the money come out?

TECH: I'm not sure I understand?

CUSTOMER: You know...Does the money come out from that slot on the computer?

 

 

Have an Awesome Wednesday!
