I recently got into the Nigerian radio industry, which a year ago was completely uncharted waters. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but no real idea of how I could do it, or how long it would take to get where I wanted to be.
I can categorically tell you that I could not have gone through the last 12 months without the support of people who love me. I don't always have the strength, mental resolve or drive to keep going, but God has very thoughtfully placed the most incredible people in my path to push, prod and propel me forward. It's a journey I could never have walked on my own.
And every single one of us, on all our different journeys, at all the various stages, absolutely NEED pushers, proders and propellers. God is totally in charge of your life and everything that happens to you - as long as you ask Him to be a part of it - but He's also given us people to help with some of that encouragement.
The truth is: We are all (supposed to be) each other's help mates. It's so easy - for you, I and everyone - to get so caught up in our own lives that we forget how instrumental we are to the success of other people.
People need you. Your friends need a pillar of support. Your partner needs to hear "I'm so proud of you" much more often. Your family really needs to know how much they mean to you, and how much you appreciate them. A stranger needs your kind words to make their day.
Your. Encouragement. Matters. Whether or not a person looks like they need it (they do, by the way). So don't withhold it.
Love,
