Are you a coach or a cheerleader?

I was having lunch with my friend Faith. Faith walks, talks, and lives the law of attraction. She brought up a good point, if you want more of something, you have to give more of it. She wanted more affirmations, love, compliments, support…so she’s on a mission to be a cheerleader for everyone.

Faith recently realized that there are two types of people, coaches and cheerleaders. For some reason, everyone has an opinion on how you should do something and wants to tell you how you should do it. Even if they’ve never done it, they’ll coach you on how you should. Even if you don’t ask, they’ll tell you how you should do it!

Faith has decided there are enough coaches and she wants more cheerleaders for Team Faith. Leading by example, she’s a cheerleader for all of her friends, new and old, and soon to be…She’s been sending me comments on my facebook wall that she’s my #1 FAN. It’s silly but I love it.

It does brighten up my day and I think the world needs more FAITH. So I’ve decided I’m going to be more of a cheerleader as well. Are you going to be a coach or cheerleader when your friends or family share their dreams and ideas with you?
