These short positive messages are perfect if you, a loved one or a friend requires a short dose of inspiration today.
Because, often all it takes is a few positive words of encouragement to completely turn someone’s day around.
Sometimes we need to provide encouragement and support to friends and family in times of hardship. And while being there in person is not always possible, we can provide support and inspiration by sending them short positive messages.
There are many ways to send a short, positive message to someone, including over text, in person, in a phone call, a handwritten card or an email, but it’s often hard to work out what to say. Obviously, you need to ‘read’ the situation as to what you say to them, but overall something positive and inspiring often helps.
Here are some examples of what you can say to inspire and encourage, as well as some short positive messages that can be conveyed via famous quotes:
