Three words


There are many things that we can do to perk up and strengthen our
interpersonal relationships. Yet the most effective involves the saying of
just three words. When spoken or conveyed, these statements have the power
to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that
have cooled. following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship.

I'll be there.
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take
a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from
home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there."
Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we
are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and
us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and
spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

I miss you.
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply
and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation
tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how
ecstatic you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from
your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

I thank you.
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the
companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily
courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their
many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose
circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude
of gratitude.

Go for it.
We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform
to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how
weird they seem to you. Everyone has dreams, dreams that are unique to
that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow
their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

the last one ~~ God bless you (three words right ? )
