LIFE ENHANCERS

My sister, Linda, sent a Walt Disney quote in an email today and I thought it was too good to keep to myself. She shared it with two dear friends who also happen to be her ballroom dance instructors. She considers them "life enhancers" and wanted to tell them how she felt. Too often we hold back when we might encourage someone by simply letting that person know we value what he does and who he is.

Life Enhancers

There are three kinds of people in the world today.

There are “well-poisoners” - those who discourage you and stomp

on your creativity and tell you what you can’t do.

There are “lawn-mowers” - people who are well-intentioned,

but self-absorbed. They tend to their own needs, mow their own lawns

but never leave their yards to help another person.

Finally, there are “life-enhancers” - people who reach out

to enrich the lives of others, to lift them up and inspire them.

We need to be life-enhancers, and we need

to surround ourselves with life-enhancers.
