Today's Kindness #504: September 12, 2025
💌 Encourage 💌
September 12th is National Day of Encouragement, a reminder of the power words and actions have to lift others up. A simple "You've got this" or "I believe in you" can change the course of someone's day. Encouragement gives people strength in hard times and helps them see their own potential when they might doubt themselves.
This day is about more than just compliments. It is about choosing to be a voice of hope and support in a world where negativity often speaks louder. Every one of us has the ability to inspire confidence, courage, and perseverance in others by reminding them they are not alone.
You do not have to wait for the perfect moment. Encouragement can be as simple as sending a quick text to a friend, cheering on a co-worker, or letting a loved one know how proud you are of them. These small but meaningful gestures ripple outward, creating a culture of kindness and resilience.
Today, take a moment to encourage someone in your life. And while you are at it, do not forget to encourage yourself too. Sometimes the kindest words are the ones we speak to our own hearts.
"You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
~ Christopher Robin in 'Winnie-the-Pooh'
