Be A Friend

One of the best ways to encourage somone is to be a friend.

A simple act of making yourself available to someone who is in need of attention, of affection, of a listening ear, will assure that someone, you are there for them.

You are ready to listen...

You are someone they can trust with their private thoughts, with their deepest emotions, with their fears and aspirations. 

That is a true gift.  

The very act of sharing your time with them, listening to whatever they want to share is a big step towards building a relationship that matters.
