SOME USEFUL WORDS COMING FROM HEART

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends in TBP,

 

Love and Love alone....

 

Here are some words, which are soothing to anyone's ears. Be

generous to use them and ensure that they come from our hearts.

 

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're truly present for other

people, important things happen to them & 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 & strengthened if couples

simply & sincerely say to each other " I miss you. " This powerful

affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired & 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 Respect You / I Trust You.

Respect and trust is another way of showing love. It conveys the

feeling that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your

children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds &

become close friends. This applies to all interpersonal

relationships.

 

Maybe You're Right.

This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and

restoring frayed emotions. The flip side to " maybe you're right " is

the humility of admitting maybe " I'm wrong " . Let's face it. When you

have a heated argument with someone, all you do is cement the other

person's point of view. They, or you, will not change their stance

and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between

you. Saying " maybe you're right " can open the door to further

explore the subject, in which you may then have the opportunity to

get your view across in a more rational manner.

 

Please Forgive Me.

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people

would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are

vulnerable to faults and failures. A man should never be ashamed to

own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other

words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

 

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.

 

Count On Me.

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an

essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue

that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend

to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is

there indicating, " you can count on me. "

 

Let Me Help.

The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they spot a

hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they

pitch in and help.

 

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. "

 

I Love You.

Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling

someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest

emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be

wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need

to hear those three little words " I love you. "

 

I received this mail from a friend.

 

Love and Love alone....
