It only takes ONE

Today I had a conversation with one of my close friends Matt and we were discussing a few essentials of life. We talked about the power of encouragement and support when ONE believes in you. We can be materially wealthy and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that-we all should strive to be financially wealthy to enjoy our labours, and help others, but if we are in that place without the encouragement and support of even one person, that individual is poorer though he/she may have riches in their bank account.
If we have limited financial wealth but flourish in encouraging and supporting another and live it, we are more wealthy than any amount of material riches combine.
We concluded that in life we don't need to be surrounded by many who would encourage, support and believe in you, we only need the power of ONE.
One person who believes that you have the power within you to go after your dreams, to see your vision come alive. ONE person to encourage and support you along the way. It only takes ONE! However, before that ONE person can effectively touch your life, you would need to be the first ONE to believe that you can, that you are deserving and capable to getting up, of rising above the valleys of life's circumstances, of seeing beyond the dark days to a better and brighter tomorrow, because the truth is...the mountain top experiences will come, the sun will rise, daylight will spring up, water will be there in your well, but YOU first have to dare to rise up, shake yourself if you must, but do what is right and healthy for you, it starts with an inner decision followed by an outward action. Come on, you can do it!
Remember it only takes ONE!
