Life is a journey filled with ups and downs. No matter how great a day we may have,
feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and loneliness can still creep in. Yet, I’ve found that with each passing day, my strength and determination to improve myself in these senior years is blossoming.
I remember a time when I avoided people and shied away from conversations due to self-doubt. I often found myself as a listener, absorbing the words of others without contributing my own. However, even in those quiet moments, I would walk away encouraged by something someone said.
Now, I cherish the opportunity to encourage others. I’ve discovered that by lifting someone else’s spirits, I also uplift my own. It’s a beautiful win-win situation. What I give to others often comes back to me in ways I never expected. When my mind is positive and my heart is connected to those around me, it creates a wonderful flow of wellness and generosity.
I believe wholeheartedly in the power of kind words. As I share encouragement, I’m also nurturing my own heart. I remind myself, “This is the better you,” and I strive to embody that every day. Releasing kind thoughts and giving hope to others is not just a gift for them—it's a gift I give to myself, as I, too, am in need of encouragement.
In this season of my life, I embrace the idea that we are never too old to grow, change, and inspire. So, let’s lift each other up. Let’s share our stories, our hopes, and our encouragement. Because in doing so, we not only foster a sense of community but also fill our own hearts with light and love.
