Two Incredibly Powerful Words

As Mother Teresa said, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

Thank you...two incredibly powerful words:

...if you say them from the heart, and

...if you put 100% of your focus on the other person.

Offering a sincere and heart-felt thank you to a colleague, a friend, a family member, or the stranger who retrieves your runaway hat is a positive connection moment that leaves both of you feeling uplifted. You for giving, the other for feeling valued.

It's also an irretrievably lost connection moment if you make the thanks about you instead of what they did. You know, the back-handed tribute that sounds like praise for us but is really a self-accolade in clever disguise.

Have you told someone thanks today...and really meant it?

Have you told someone thanks today...and really complimented yourself?

Which kind of thanks would you like to receive today?

Re: Book Review - The Freedom Formula Re: Book Review - The Freedom Formula - Hi Shri, Thanks for your input. I have read a bit of the book. Now I say something which many may know, true freedom comes from the true source of Freedom. We read this in Luke 4v17-18. ......has sent me to proclaim freedom for the....proclaim of the Lord's favor. Later it reads, the people were amazed. She mentions God, but what about his son Jesus, who died and rose again. Jesus. Powerful. More and more people asking questions, why are we here and what is the purpose for our life. All the answers are in the Bible, which stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. A very successful guy in the US is Joel Osteen from Houston Texas, with over 40'000 people meeting every week. He has written a book: "Your Best Life Now" Well worth reading, too. Regards Beat
