The Inspirational Booster

An Encouraged YOU
Becomes An Empowered YOU
~ Ty Howard
Are there times when you don’t feel motivated or driven to do anything?
What you need is a little encouragement.
Not from someone else… this time from YOU! Encouragement is ten times more powerful and meaningful when it comes from YOU!
When we know others are purposefully trying to encourage us, it can sometimes feel nagging, annoying or corny, no matter how genuine and caring the effort.
That’s why An Encouraged YOU Becomes An Empowered YOU!
Many times you have good reason to feel dissatisfied, unmotivated or de-energized about life. Yet, you can just as easily change your attitude to feel encouraged about yourself and life too.
Just last month, I drove to West Virginia from Baltimore, Maryland to speak to a 4-H Club Summer Camp. I spoke to the teens in their camp’s tribal circle about “You Were Born to Be G.R.R.R.R.E.A.T.!!!!(TM).”
I must admit, a few days prior to my drive to West Virginia, I was dragging. I deeply needed some encouragement. I talked to several of my friends and family members on the phone throughout the string of days, and to no avail I was still dragging. The day before my drive, I sat at my computer putting the finishing touches on the one-page handout that I use with this presentation. It was only a few seconds into my minor revisions when a burst of enthusiasm and encouragement hit me. I connected with the encouraged and empowered me by simply thinking about the thoughts, words and interactions I would share with the young people the next evening in West Virginia. I even chuckled a few times because I could feel that I was back—and bringing my “A” Game to the 4-H Club Summer Camp group.
No matter what challenge or situation you face there is always goodness inside of you. You, and only you, can reach this level within yourself to unleash your true goodness. The encouraged and empower YOU!
Keep in mind that every challenge or setback is temporary. Every frustration and disappointment can be overcome. The encouraged you will drive you with every reason to persist, endure and to move forward with the most positive expectations of accomplishment, growth, fulfillment and happiness.
The very next time you find yourself unmotivated to do anything or to complete something that you know you must get done, supply your own encouragement. I want you to summon your own enthusiasm, encouraged by your positive thoughts, words and actions. Turn your unwillingness to move into an excitement for getting things done.
Becomes An Empowered YOU!
