Praise

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Praise is a powerful people-builder. Catch individuals doing something right.".... Brian Tracy

All too often it's only our negative actions that get any attention from the people around us. I suppose we just expect others to do right, so when they do we don't feel the need to voice any comment. But one little stumble from grace and mouths have no trouble flapping a mile a minute. Being swift to condemn is so easy unless you truly fight against the urge.

I always keep firmly in mind the fact that if I don't want to be harshly judged the best defense is to not pass judgments myself. God created this complex world, so it's his place to appraise our guilt or innocence and deliver our punishment. And I spect' He'll be much fairer than any human is capable of being, no matter what their station in life.

Use praise more often and encourage others to greater heights. Stroke one another, making at least equal note of the good as you do of the bad. Be fair! Be swift to congratulate and slow to condemn. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then you decide!!!!
