The Nature of Nurture
“In some regards, people respond similarly to the way some animals do. And like animals, people need to be cared for, not just physically, but emotionally. If you look around, you’ll discover that there are people in your life who want to be fed—with encouragement, recognition, security, and hope. That process is called nurturing, and it’s a need (for) every human being.
If you desire to become an influencer in others’ lives, start by nurturing them. Many people mistakenly believe that the way to become an influencer is to become an authority figure—correct others’ errors, reveal the weak areas they can’t easily see themselves, and give so-called constructive criticism. But what clergyman John Knox said more than 400 years ago is still true: ‘You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.’
At the heart of the nurturing process is genuine concern for others. As you try to help and influence the people around you, you must have positive feelings and concern for them. If you want to make a positive impact on them, you cannot dislike, despise, or disparage them. You must (show) them (compassion) and respect” (John C. Maxwell, The Maxwell Daily Reader).
FEED THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU TODAY WITH ENCOURAGEMENT, RECOGNITION, SECURITY, AND HOPE.
Have an amazing week.
