Our Belief

The Encouragement Foundation wants to create a global network of like-minded encouragers who actively participate in encouraging others throughout the world.

We believe that everybody has the ability to offer encouragement to others and that everybody can benefit from receiving encouragement.

By harnessing the power of the internet, aligning and focusing the combined efforts of tens of thousands of people around the world, we are creating a force for good, using the power of encouragement.

Empowering and nurturing others to make a significant contribution to a new and vital positive energy that flows back into our society.

We believe that together we are encouraging others to hang in during tough times, to be inspired to dream again, to improve their lives so that they not only create more hope and opportunity for themselves, but for family, friends and associates as well as for the community and the country.

Together we can combine our efforts and help individuals unlock their natural potential and become:

  • More hopeful and optimistic
  • More positive and motivated
  • More certain and relaxed
  • More innovative and resourceful
  • More generous-spirited and contributory
  • More enjoyable and confident

The Encouragement Foundation is committed to operating by a number of guiding principles which, provide natural filters for all our decisions and actions.

While we respect the right of individuals to make their own decisions, these principles provide a clear set of ethical guidelines for how we commit to making a contribution.

Positive Optimism

  • We believe that individuals can make a difference and can be the difference
  • We believe in the power of positive energy. We are committed to creating happiness and vitality within our Workplace, so that we are in the best possible position to actively radiate this energy, inspiration and vision to the world
  • All men and women who work with us agree to support each other in this goal

Growth and contribution beyond ourselves

  • We believe in empowering others – inspiring people to be the best they can be
  • We believe in serving as positive change agents, as opposed to resisting negative mindsets.
  • It is said that Mother Teresa declined when asked to join in an “Antiwar” march but would agree to join in a “For Peace” march.

Integrity

  • We commit to remaining true to our guiding principles so that we will be better equipped to honour and respect the lives and positive values of all individuals
  • We will continuously remind ourselves that we are responsible for the way we act if we are to earn the respect of others
  • We commit to ensuring that all our actions must be driven by a win/win philosophy

Independence

  • We believe that to give our best, we must remain totally independent of any religious and political alignment.
  • We believe that active encouragement nurtures growth, development and prosperity.
  • We work to ensure that people are not only able to create their own opportunities and growth, but that they become inspired to contribute positively to the lives of others.

Constant and never-ending improvement

  • We are committed to continuously seeking ways to improve what we do and the effect we have on the lives of others.
