More Happy Encouragement - Ep. 441

I love a good old bit of encouragement, I do,
And it can come from me just like it can come from you.
And the flavor of encouragement I like works for both you and me.
‘Cause no one wants to be encouraged to be something they’re not trying to be.

Ep. 441 - More Happy Encouragement

We begin as always 
with the Happy Creed.

We believe in Happy, 
in Balance and Growth, 
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

Yowza
Haha
My Happy Friends!

I love a good old bit of encouragement, I do,
And it can come from me just like it can come from you.
And the flavor of encouragement I like works for both you and me.
‘Cause no one wants to be encouraged to be something they’re not trying to be.

So, that means you have to know what they--or you--want,
So, you can encourage them--or you--to stick with it and be more than just nonchalant,
Happy Encouragement is about the how, while praise is just about the what,
And praise is all well and good, sure, but a dependency on it can get you stuck in a rut.

Encourage someone--or yourself--to try something new--or again--to see if it works, 
They--or you--don’t have to be perfect or afraid to fail like the rest of them jerks,
Don’t lie and say it’ll be easy, just say that pretty soon it might not seem so bad,
Because you’ll be stronger and better equipped to handle more than you ever had.

Haha
