Words of encouragement

From ( https://parade.com/1238214/michelleparkerton/words-of-encouragement/ )

Even the happiest person you know may have days

where they are feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or
depressed. Adulting is hard, and sometimes we just
can’t help but feel like we are drowning in
responsibilities, stress, and worry. Heck, even teenagers
and young children have moments when they could use
some extra encouragement! When that happens,
something as simple as a few words of encouragement
can be enough to put a smile back on our faces and
remind us that things will eventually be better.
The important thing to remember when you—or a
friend—are experiencing one of those periods where
you feel like life is a daily struggle is that it is okay to
not be okay. But with some simple words of
encouragement, however, you can provide a bit of hope
to someone who is feeling a bit down in the dumps. Or
perhaps looking yourself in the mirror and repeating
some encouraging quotes will give you the inspiration
to move forward when you need some words of support
during a particularly difficult time.
Below, we’ve put together a roundup of encouraging
words, meant to inspire, uplift, and support someone
who is struggling. We have included some encouraging
quotes, inspiring words of courage, and funny messages
about being brave that you can share with your family
and friends. So take a look over this list, and make note
of your favorite ones. You never know who is going to
need a little positive power in their life, and one of these
encouraging sayings just may do the trick to brighten
someone’s day!
