When I encourage someone, I highlight something good within them that they may have overlooked. When I manipulate them, I try to sneak in my idea, my agenda (“I know what’s best”) with or without their invitation, with or without an accurate reading of their needs, with or without testing whether my shoe fits their foot.
Manipulation
To Do This Week

This week, by all means, encourage people. But don’t do it to control them or to make them like you or be like you. Do it just to give them wings, expecting no reward. Or do it to give roots to someone you may never see again.

( And don't tell anyone you did it, either.)
