Marcher's at goal - Be an encourager
The definition of encourage: To inspire with courage, spirit or hope, to spur on or stimulate to foster.
We have all been encouraged by others and this has helped us to reach our goals. When I started these posts I was asked to be an encourager to others, but if the truth be known I have been the one that has been encouraged by each of you. There are times when each of us needs to be lifted up. The beauty of being an encourager is that we also reap the rewards. There is no better feeling then to help someone else achieve what they most desire. I have been inspired by each of our successes. I have been spurred on to reach my personal goals and when I was down I was fostered to and lifted up. We all need each other, that's why we are here.
I am currently working with four individuals that either have had or are having weight loss surgery. It is such a great feeling to give something back and "pay it forward". No one really knows what this journey is like unless they have been down this path. We have the knowledge, we have the experience. Now our challenge is to share it.
Have an encouraging day, Rick
How great that you are using your experience to help others, i know they will benefit greatly from your input.
I for one know my journey would have been a very empty experience without our Marchers. The main board can't really compare to the support and advice I received here from you guys, my peers, my peeps
I feel I was definitely more successful b/c of you all! Whenever I hit a snag or became discouraged, you guys kept me going and gave me great advice!
