One Kind Word, A means to Up Lift Another Person

By Hal Neff


How much is one kind word really worth to someone who may be embroiled in difficulties? While extending a kind message will not cost one cent, it could be only the thing that other person needs to up lift their day. Perhaps the thing that you can inquire yourself is, "Are you "others focused" or does everything in your day rotate around you? Basically recognizing a person or creating some kind comment towards them can be the catalyst that brightens up their day.

Every person has the need to be accepted and recognized and some individuals truly start to thrive when that happens. The book of Proverbs informs us that kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. That is why it really is crucial that we say kind words and we express them often. We really usually love to hear those kind remarks directed our way as well. You'll have to consciously say words that are kind as it will need work since it is easier simply to be critical about the individuals and situations around you.

All this got me contemplating about kind words and just how important it is that we say them and hear them. It is very easy to criticize. We all have a lot of words for that, but how many different ways can we tell someone that we love them? Perhaps we could simply say "I appreciate you". That will go a great distance with our friends and family as well as the people that we work with.

It is important not to only wait for that special occasion. So why not reach out that family member, close friend or co-worker. Why not give them a kind remark that will encourage them. You might find that it will be that word that can make a real impact in their lives.

That same book of Proverbs has another famous saying, " Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. " (Proverbs 18:21) Everything we say and how we say it is extremely important. It can boost some up or it can ruin somebody.

We all live in a world that is made upon conflict and full of people that are just out to get other people. This is so simply because this is the unregenerate origin that's in all of us. However, those people who take time to continually look for the good in other people by offering a kind word can reap intrinsic rewards just by brightening someone else's day.

Begin to find approaches to say a kind word to every person you meet today. Can you imagine what life the effect just one kind word can have on every person you encounter? Not only will you inspire the person you address but you will also find your own life reaping rewards you never imagined.
