Did you have any significant accomplishments in 2008?

Let me define significant:

Encouraging and supporting someone to believe in their ability to live their dreams.

Maybe a friend – a family member – a loved one.

Sharing the “spark” of encouragement may be the most powerful and significant thing we are capable of doing in our lives.

When you encourage someone, a part of you takes the journey with that person.

Your energy is amplified by that individual and may be passed on in the form of encouragement to someone else.

And don’t overlook the old truism:  What goes around comes around.

The good energy you invest in others always comes back ten-fold!

Dedicate yourself to becoming a source of encouragement to those in your day-to-day life.

If someone you “touch” with your good energy uses that “spark” to take the next step in their life you will have accomplished something truly significant.

You will have changed someone’s life.
