Journeying through this life, we must gravitate toward positivity. Having optimism means cherishing moments for what they are and wanting the best out of each moment. Encouraging yourself is wanting the best for you. We must encourage ourselves daily.

          In this life, there are trials. There are moments of pain. There are moments of violence, sickness, sadness, etc. Although this is true, there are also moments of greatness, comradery, healing, etc. Encouraging yourself through it all allows for gratitude to strengthen within your life daily. Be grateful for every moment!

Show gratitude for the journey. Remind yourself that you are the head, not the tail. Encourage yourself to stay the course. Encourage yourself through the word of God. Seek the word for the promises God has made for His children. These promises are intertwined with love, greater horizons and unforeseen blessings!

 

Meditate on this: Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
