Royal D. Bush serves as a Multifaith Chaplain
with Inclusive Life. He studied at
Andersonville Theological Seminary, and with the International Institute of
Faith Based Counseling. He holds a
Bachelor Degree in business administration. Chaplain Royal shares two important
messages: You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you
are. And: Now is time in this world that
every human being is called to life up the weak, offer a hand UP to the impoverished,
cherish our elders and stand up for the oppressed.
I have always said it does not cost anything to be
polite. Saying please and thank you are
free AND go a long way, especially when we write them in a personal note. Offering praise, when and where praise is due
is also important.
Praise is one way to build people up, especially one you may
be mentoring, guiding or managing. The beauty
of offering authentic praise is that is a win-win gift. You get the benefit of helping another human
being and they get the benefit of added self esteem and self confidence.
Remember a time when someone praised you for your work, how
did you feel? It empowered you and you
felt good. Someone gave you the gift of
praise, you can share that same praise with someone else.
I used the word authentic a moment ago, and I reaffirm that I
am not talking about giving praising simply for the sake of giving praise. Authentic praise is about honestly sharing and
promoting the positive actions of others.
Don’t do just because you need to develop a relationship with them, do
it because it is the right thing to do!
Who should you praise?
Spouse, significant other, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors. It is about building, maintaining and helping
others be good people. As your relationships
grow, so will your ability to have an impact in their life.
We know that people who are self confident are often happier,
more fulfilled people. This is one way that each of us can contribute to making
this a better world for us all. One
person at a time!
I believe in building people up, not tearing them down. It is a good thing. Even if we never get anything in return, it
is the right thing to build others up, there will be always be someone else to
tear them down.
We can be the change we seek in
this world, and in ourselves. One day. One journey.
One person. One leader at a time.
