There is no better feeling than someone telling you that you are doing good in life.

Behind everyone's mask is someone who is doing something they fear, something they wish they could get better at, something that they just need to get done. It seems horrifically uncommon that we, society as a whole, acknowledge this fact. I may be in psychology, my roommates may be PT's, my sister may be an educator, my father may be in sales, but we all striving for the same goal: succeed, dammit.

It is disheartening to me that it is not more common to reach out to others and recognize the good they are doing. I'm not sure why it is so easy for us to compliment outer beauty but it remains so hard for us to compliment what is going on internally to make that person who they really are.
I can assure you that on the day I die, I will not be remembering the people who told me they "loved my hair", but instead the people who told me they could see my soul, and they appreciated it. I don't think I'm very different from many people in that sense; we all want recognition for the things in life we are fighting for.

I want to live a life of telling instructors, professors, leaders, friends, and family how wonderful I think they are doing, how inspiring they are to me. If they impact my life at all, I want them to know, because they deserve to!

I am tired of living in and being part of a society which under-appreciates those around them. Everyone deserves recognition for the things they are doing right, and everyone needs a little encouragement every now and again.

Let's openly appreciate one another, one inspiring moment at a time.
