What do YOU do when you get discouraged? How do you find the courage to press on, persevere through road blocks or negativity?
Today I’m talking about my…
S M I L E file
In this file are:
affirming emails, text messages, and comments
encouraging cards and notes that bring a smile to my face
quotes, positive sayings, and verses
my vision and identity statement
…when I question “why” I’m doing what I’m doing.
…when I wonder “if” what I’m pursuing is making a difference.
…when I’m discouraged and find it difficult to smile.
I go to my file…here I am reminded and encouraged.
Where do you go?
Do you have something similar? Do you have a smile file? …OR another method that fuels you to keep moving forward; that puts a SMILE on your face?
About Teri
Yes, I have a smile file! I call it my “A” file for affirmation. I have had it for about 15 years and I save encouraging notes, emails, cards, etc. It is a great reminder to me that God is using me and working in me even when I don’t feel like He is!
Now…I just need to decorate it! thanks, Teri. You are in my “virtual” smile file.
LOVE the name of your FILE –> A <– affirmations are SO important!! I want to see your decorated file, be sure to show me when you've got it done. =) You are SO sweet…thank you for the kind words, YOU my friend are such an ENCOURAGEMENT and light in my word. Can't wait to meet you someday IRL. xoxo
Ok, I don’t have a smile file, but I do have books that make me smile, people I call that will make me smile or I just go out for a run. I like your file, though. Great idea!
