There’s something in this world that is free, or costs almost nothing, yet very few people use it. Everyone is chasing things that cost money, yet they overlook this one tool that can empower, heal, and uplift more than anything else.
I’m talking about praise and validation.
People who have been married for years may share their problems at home, but rarely do they give each other genuine praise. At work, when the boss praises us, we get suspicious, wondering if more work or expectations are coming. So instead of joy, praise becomes a trigger for worry.
That’s why so many people remain emotionally poor, even when they are financially rich.
But a genuine praise, one that comes from love, is among the most powerful forces in the world. It has the power to restore faith, to open hearts, and to bring out the best in people.
This is why I am persistent, almost obsessed, about becoming a keynote speaker on the topic of love. Because as Whitney Houston once sang, “the greatest love of all” is indeed the greatest power of all.
And I want to use that power — the power of love — to empower everyone.
