Spirit, help me to be a giver, not a taker, a helper, not self-absorbed, an encourager, not a gossiper.

Here on Medium, how you help others be seen and known really isn’t that difficult.

Some of you create embed links to other people’s stories. Some will tag a writer.

All of these are good. Stellar, in fact!

But are you clapping and commenting? That’s how you also help others be known and seen in this digital age of algorithms.

Gary L Ellis wrote this article on the spirit of encouragement and how clapping is important.

Writers: The Medium Algorithm Recognizes and Rewards Claps

When we clap for a person’s story, we let them know that we appreciate them. We read their words, and, in essence, we see them. We validate them with our claps and comments.
