Doctor Gary Chapman with a love language minute.

Many dreams are killed by a spouse or friend who says it's not realistic. We can't afford it. You won't follow through. Why be a dream killer? Learn to speak encouraging words such as I know you can do it because you are an excellent writer. If you want to go back to school, we'll find the money. If you decide to go on a diet, I'll be happy to join you. One encouraging statement can be the difference between success and failure. Remember, we give life or death to people's dreams by what we say.
