Help Someone to See Their True Value

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I recently came across this quote “the greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own” (Disraeli). Disraeli was largely a statesmen or politician and was an author on the side. Regardless of his profession this quote spoke to me.

The best thing I can do for a friend is to encourage them. My encouragement will only last a moment if they don’t believe in themselves. So instead of bringing over something to make them feel better the wiser thing would be to spend time with them. It would be to talk to them to make them realize that they are more than capable of picking up their pieces and succeeding on their own. Now I am not saying a piece of chocolate cannot help the encouragement, but it will not be long-lasting.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
