If someone is falling behind in life, you don't have to remind them.

If someone is falling behind in life, you don't have to remind them. Believe me, they already know. If someone is unhealthy, they know. If someone is struggling in their relationships, with money, with self-image, they know. It is what consumes their thoughts each and every hour of each and every day. What you need to do for those who are struggling is not to reprimand, but to encourage. Tell them what is good about their lives, and show them the potential that you see. Love them where they are right now. When we can't see clearly for ourselves, we need others to speak greatness over us. People don't need you to tell them what is wrong with their lives, they already know. They need you to reassure them that they can still make a difference.
