For every Apostle Paul there is a Barnabas

C.S. Lewis had J.R.R. Tolkien;

Henry Ford had Thomas Edison;

Sir Isaac Newton had Edmond Halley;

the list goes on.

When you find a person who has achieved success in this life, you will also find a host of people who have encouraged him or her.  Encouragers challenge, console, applaud, and even push us every now and again to keep moving forward.

Who are we pushing forward with our words and actions?  Life is too short to not chose a person and invest in them greatly.
