Just one Kind Word, A way to Up Lift Somebody else

By Hal Neff


What is one gentle remark really worth to a person who may be embroiled in problems? While offering a kind message will not cost you a single penny, it could be just the thing that other individual needs to up lift their day. I guess the thing that you can inquire yourself is, "Are you "others focused" or does everything in your day revolve around you? Basically acknowledging an individual or making some kind remark towards them could possibly be the catalyst that brightens up their day.

Every person has the need to be acknowledged and regarded and some people really begin to flourish if that happens. The book of Proverbs tells us that kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. That is why it is really crucial that we express kind words and we say them often. We usually love to listen to those kind words directed our way as well. You'll have to knowingly say words which are kind as it will require work since it is much easier simply to be critical about the individuals and situations around you.

All of this got me thinking about kind words and how crucial it is that we say them and hear them. It's so easy to criticize. We have a lot of words for that, but how many various ways can we tell somebody that we love them? Perhaps we could say simply "I value you". That can go a long way with our friends and family as well as the people who we work with.

It is important not to just put it off for that special occasion. So why not reach out that loved one, close friend or colleague. Why not give them a kind remark that will inspire them. You will probably find that it can be that word that can create a real effect in their lives.

That same book of Proverbs has an additional widely known saying, " Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. " (Proverbs 18:21) Whatever we say and how we say it is extremely important. It can boost some up or it may destroy somebody.

We live in a world that is built on discord and full of individuals that are just out to get other people. This is so simply because this is the unregenerate root that's in all of us. However, those people who take the time to continually look for the good in others by offering a kind word can receive intrinsic rewards just by brightening somebody else's day.

Start to find ways to say a kind word to everyone you meet today. Can you envision what life the effect just a single kind word can have on each person you encounter? Not only will you inspire the person you address but you will also find your own life reaping rewards you never imagined.
