be an encourager

I live in a house full of glass half empty people. I am the optimist but I do tend to fall into the self pity place when I have no one around who will encourage me. I have a bad tendency to dwell on my problems especially when I am around negative people. However, I find when I put my mind to it, I really like encouraging people. I feel like some of my life experiences have made me uniquely suited for trying to inspire and love on people.

Life is too fragile to draw others in a negative direction. I think we all need to lift other people up and positively draw them in the right direction.
