Acknowledgement
What a powerful and universal force we all have at our fingertips. The ability to empower someone with a simple kind word, a smile, a compliment.
We all have this innate ability as human beings and yet all too often we hold back as if we're afraid we'll run out of this wonderful universal energy, or we are sadly afraid to show our humanity, our kindness for fear of appear weak.
Our culture promotes strength, courage, and achievement, all noble traits. But how to we develop, nurture, and encourage these traits in our children, youth, employees, leaders, and families.
How to we develop these essential character elements in each and more universally our society? In a word, genuine praise. The simple act of acknowledging someone for a job well done, an act of kindness, or selflessness. We see these acts happen in every moment of our daily lives, and too often we ignore them and let them blithely pass by.
But they are oh so powerful! We just have to tune-in and pay attention. The negativity promoted in our culture can be overwhelming, debilitating, and even devastating. We have been conditioned to tune-in, watch, and absorb all the "bad news" that is going on around us and think that we will be the next victim. What nonsense and total rubbish!
You can Empower everyone around you, especially those in your family, work life, and circle of life-
friends by just showing a little kindness, a little encouragement, eye contact, a hug, a pat-on-the back, a THANK YOU! Of course, it's just as powerful on people you encounter in everyday life that you don't even know. For we are all, 8 billion of us, connected by the divine energy that courses through life.
When you Acknowledge someone, you empower them, you inspire them, you are letting them know that they are valuable, worthy, and deserving.
And when we acknowledge, appreciate, and empower others we are really just
Empowering ourselves.
With Love,
Coach K
