It feels good when someone looks at you and says: "Well Said!" Those are wonders of honor that makes you feel good, and like you accomplished something. But, when you look back on the days you spend here on earth, I believe you will be much happier as you think about your great accomplishments compared to your great words. Of course, words of encouragement might mean a lot to others and you can accomplish great things by cheering for family members and standing by their side.

But, you will most likely get an even bigger name in the history books due to your accomplishments. When you think about how Churchill hated Hitler and how he said things (for which he is famous)... but, he is even more famous for his actions against Nazi-Germany!
So, try to be wise with your words and speak words of encouragement and love, but even more, be a person of love and encouragement with your actions!
