Bro, Do You Even Lift?

You may or may not have heard this phrase: "Bro, do you even lift?"

It has become a funny punch line, inspired comical YouTube videos, and is even printed on T-shirts.
Basically, it's a way to clown on people that are in good shape, maybe too muscled up, or are "fitness experts." 

I have to admit, I use the line sometimes and always find it funny. Look here, the Governator is even saying it...

Okay, with that being said, this blog post is not about lifting weights at all. Actually it's about lifting people. Not like a male cheerleader, but lifting peoples spirits. 

We are in the Christmas season and it's perfect time to lift peoples spirits. Actually, every time of year is the perfect time to lift peoples spirits. 

You see, we have this incredible power to use our words and actions to lift others. One kind word can change someones day or even life. Your smile might be all the action needed to lift the spirit of someone who feels like no one cares. 

As humans we should always look to encourage and not discourage. We should build people up and not tear them down. We should be on the lookout for ways to lift people with our words and or actions. 

Today, I encourage you to start lifting. Lift people up during the holidays when they might be sad or lonely. Then continue lifting after the holidays and make it a year round practice.

My question for you is this... "Bro, do you even lift?"

* Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. -Proverbs 16:24
