Good for you. I am pulling for you. If I can help, let me know.

A buddy sent me this note of encouragement yesterday. He was responding to me letting him know I’d engaged a career coach and was making a lot of headway.

It’s recently been a little bit of a tough row for me to hoe professionally. I’ve been “trying to figure out” what my next opportunity is going to look like. And it’s been a process.

But little notes of encouragement, little notes like this, let me know that friends are thinking of me. And I feel it. I feel the love. And it motivates me and makes me stronger.

I’m thankful for gestures like this because I’m usually that person — I’m the one that tries to be there for everyone and give as much support as I can. So to have it “repaid” is a welcome reminder that while I really appreciate receiving the sentiment, I love giving it even more.

Be there for your people. And let them know you care.
