The Magic Of Encouragement

The words and gestures, others give to someone, have an effect. It depends on the nature of the remarks. Encouragement can be used, for the shaping of human personality by moving them from good to best ways of achieving desired goals. This is the magic of encouragement.

This works in this way that positive reinforcement is presented after a behaviour and desired behaviour is more likely to occur and reoccur. In personality development, it can help remarkably.

Our simple encouraging words and actions can make miracles. These words can be like:  There you go, Keep up the good work. Keep it up, Good job, I’m so proud of you. A tired person, who is feeling so low became suddenly active and enthusiastic by listening to encouraging remarks e.g. well done, great job or such a brilliant idea. So, to uplift backbenchers, these kinds of words can make a great improvement in their performance.

Encouragement brings with it many benefits in the people, as it is the act of giving someone support, confidence and hope.  A remarkable incident must be shared that a prisoner in jail was leading a dull and discouraged life. An officer visited the jail and passed encouraging remarks about him, “You are very intelligent”. These 4 words sentences made him a different man. He feels that he is so intelligent. After many years, that prisoner became a very successful person, after coming out of jail. That officer met him on some occasion. The successful man (the former prisoner) told him that you are the cause of my success by giving encouraging remarks “You are very intelligent”. It shows the miracle of encouragement.

When we are encouraged, our confidence grows. The encouragement might provide a momentary lift or change someone's confidence for a lifetime. Either way, it matters – and you never know when what you will say will make a big difference in someone's confidence.

1.  When we are encouraged, our confidence grows. The encouragement might provide a momentary lift or change someone's confidence for a lifetime. Either way, it matters – and you never know when what you will say will make a big difference in someone's confidence.
2. Encouragement creates belief. When we know that others believe in us, it changes everything. When we encourage people, we are letting them know we see what they have done, and by extension, believe what they will be able to do in the future; and that improves their belief in themselves and their potential.
3. Encouragement builds confidence. Does your confidence increase when people let you know how what you are doing is making a difference? It is true for you and for others too. When we are encouraged, our confidence grows. The encouragement might provide a momentary lift or change someone’s confidence for a lifetime.
4. Encouragement improves attitude. We never feel worse after someone encourages us. Encouragement almost by definition makes us feel better, puts a bounce in our step and smile on our faces. And when our attitude is better, we are healthier, happier and more productive.
5. Encouragement promotes action. Sometimes moving forward, taking action and trying new things is hard – for anyone. Look at the four items you have just read about: awareness, belief, confidence and attitude; as we have more of any one of these, our ability and willingness to take action grows, doesn’t it? Now imagine something that we could do or say to someone else that grew all four . . . how powerful would that be? Genuine, authentic, meaningful encouragement is that thing; and that is how powerful it can be.

It is very easy and good for us to play our positive part in changing other’s life in a better direction by giving encouraging remarks. In this way, we can make a difference in our surroundings, in a slight way.
