STAGE 4 - THE GIFT OF GIVING

# Uplifting the Self by Uplifting Others

# We’re All in This Together

PURPOSE:

Encouragement is one of the most valuable gifts a person can give.

Not only can you help others see the good, but you are focusing on the good too, and can also learn from the advice or support you give.

If you are feeling down, one of the most uplifting things you could do is encourage someone else. In uplifting someone else, it’s like a boomerang that uplifts you too.

This joy of giving helps improve your self-image and outlook on life.

For this Design Project we will be making encouragement notes to give to people in our lives that you think would benefit from this great gift.

Let’s see what the joy of giving can do for you and those you give to.
