Be generous.
Give compliments.
Support others.
Pick up the phone and call.
Encourage.
Sing words of praise.
Put your money where your “Like” is.
We might not realize the impact we can each have as individuals.
But in my experience, tiny gestures and loving words can have a big lasting impact.
Forget competing, let’s just lift each other higher. Tag someone you’ll lift higher today
