The Most Powerful - Three - Words

 

The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship. These are just

three little BUT VERY POWERFUL words!!!

 

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. Its 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.

 

I Understand You

People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person

accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know in so many little ways

that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing

relationship. This applies to any relationship.

 

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. "
