Words of Encouragement for a Friend


During every person’s life there comes a moment when they feel that they can’t do anything anymore, they feel weak, or tired. Maybe right now you know somebody that is going through one of those moments.

But luckily for your friend, in this article you will find some of the most encouraging words that exist. This article was made over the course of multiple years, and it’s made up of words that I personally used when I was going through hard times.

  • So let’s not waste any more time and get to the list.
  • Actions prove who someone is, words just prove who they pretend to be.
  • Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.
  • Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
  • Stop hoping for things to happen, get moving and make them happen.
  • You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
  • Nothing is impossible for you, am I right? You’ve always been the smartest human being in the room, and I have no doubt that you will always be. Believe in yourself like I believe in you, and everything is going to be great.
  • Whenever you feel weak, remember the things that made you strong. Whenever you start to doubt yourself, remember those who believe in you.
  • The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.
  • You’re more than your past failures and mistakes. You’re more than what you’ve been demonstrating up to this point in your life. Don’t let your screw ups define you. Instead, let your potential guide you toward becoming the person you want to be.
  • Everything you need to accomplish your goals is already in you.
  • When it hurts to look back, and you’re afraid to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.
  • You have a greater potential than anyone who has ever lived before you! But you’ll never “make it” by sitting on your duff and telling the world how great you’re going to be, starting tomorrow.
  • Be sure that you`ll get over it. You are not the first, and you are not alone. Stay strong, and you`ll find the right decision.
  • Be optimistic. Think that great things are coming. No matter what you’re currently going through, think “there’s so much to look forward to”.
  • You’re such a light everywhere you go!
  • Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.

  • When life gives you lemons, call me and let’s make lemonades together. I’ll help you be positive when you’re feeling down because that’s just life happening.
  • You are more than what you see in the mirror.
  • No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
