"Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough." 

        ~ Richard M. DeVos

True. These are powerful too:

I care.

I believe in you.

How can I best be supportive for you?

I see your strengths and talents.

I commend you for (some positive traits and choices you see).

When we are hopeful about another person and express that, the hope in us resonates with the hope within the other, like a tuning fork. And hope hums louder and stronger between us. 

Beautifully,
