encourage others to reach their potential

I am checking this goal off my list. I don’t think I will ever stop doing this, because that’s what friendship is all about. When you care about someone, you want to see them always improve and become a better version of themselves.

I do this every day, almost. I encourage my friends and the people I love to strive for bigger and better things. I motivate people, I always tell them how great they are, and how they can do so many things. It makes me feel good, because sometimes I can see that I have had a positive effect on someone, and that is a reward all on its own. Sure, you have to believe in yourself, but sometimes it helps if you have your own personal cheerleader to push you to achieve greater things!! I hope that I can always do this for my friends, and help them to never, ever settle.
(Hopefully I never lose sight of this as it applies to myself as well, and I can keep encouraging MYSELF to reach my own potential, which I know to be immense!)

I was just told by my best friend that I push her to make herself better. What a compliment :)
And I didn’t even realize I was doing it!
