Think of the difference you can make just by saying one of these things to someone today…

– Yes, you’re capable of making a difference.
– Yes, it’s important.
– Yes, you can ignore that critic.
– Yes, your bravery is worth it.
– Yes, we believe in you.
– Yes, you can do even better.

“There will always be a surplus of people eager to criticize, nitpick or recommend caution. … reinforce the power of the yes.” – Seth Godin

(And… absolutely say these things to your children.)
