June 19, 2008PowerPhrase ~ With all the people you could be spending your life with, thanks for choosing me.

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

PowerPhrases aren’t just about pointing out what’s wrong or letting people know what isn’t working. It is just as important to use PowerPhrases to express love, appreciation and gratitude. Great managers know that they get better results when they consistently let their employees know how much they appreciate them. And great friends and lovers (and newsletter readers) take the time to acknowledge each other too.

Imagine someone you love saying to you,

  • With all the people you could be spending your life with, thanks for choosing me.

The fact is, letting someone into your heart and life is a huge decision and shold be acknowledged as such.

Acknowledgment is powerful. I know I appreciated my reader taking the time to tell me about the goose bumps she experienced when she watched A World of Truth. So think of how you want to acknowledge the people in your life. And do it.

  1. Being inclined to look at the beverage-free half of the proverbial glass, I have often found your Pippi and Izzie tale to be an inspiration and a salvation. This article reminded me to express my appreciation. Thank you!
