In honor of Father’s Day, I want to ask my readers an important question: Are you speaking faith into someone else’s life? Research has shown that people who feel loved and feel that someone else is paying attention to them perform at a higher level. Simply stated, people rise to our expectations of them. When I say “speaking faith,” I don’t necessarily mean talking about God; I mean faith in themselves. Like you, this someone else has the seeds of Greatness inside them. The greatest gift that we can give to someone else is helping them see how special they are, and that we value their contribution.
My challenge to you this week is to find a way to compliment someone else everyday. Remember that “I love you” is a great compliment. Your spouse will never get tired of hearing it, and your children can never hear it enough. Also, look for those people who may not get the support they need on a regular basis. Mark Twain said that he could live a whole year on one good compliment. Let’s make it someone’s year by taking the time to invest in them. Why should we spend the time to invest in someone else? Zig Ziglar says that we can have anything in life that we want if we will only help enough other people get what they want. If you want to fulfill your potential, help others fulfill theirs. If you do this, and focus on how you can use your talents, abilities and passions to help those around you, you can add a new role to your life: leader.
