Do you have a friend who can brighten your whole day because of how encouraging they are? Or perhaps you are that friend! Uplifting others is a Christlike attribute that brings so much peace to our lives, and it is one of the easiest things to do! It's a gift we can give others regardless of our means or circumstances. So how do we make encouragement a part of our every day lives and lean on the Savior Jesus Christ as our biggest example?

"Build a foundation of encouragement in all your relationships."

President Russell M. Nelson said that "the best is yet to come for those who spend their lives building up others." We all want that best to be in our lives right now! Kathryn is joined by Tammy Uzelac Hall, a fellow podcaster and friend, and they discuss how they can build others through encouragement.

Top takeaways from this episode:

• If we are in the habit of encouraging others, we will build a positive foundation for every relationship in our lives so that when disagreements might come, we can always fall back on that trust.
• Heavenly Father is always encouraging us in our pursuits to try new adventures or leaps of faith.
• The Lord was the ultimate example of encouragement, and he did it by service to others.
• Encouragement isn't always vocal. You can bear one another's burdens by sitting with them or listening or sharing your experience in a way that might lift others.

Small and simple challenge: Find one person in your ward that you don't know and talk to them. Hear their story. That's how foundations get started and you can create that foundation of encouragement.
