If you could only say three phrases forever, what would they be? One speaker picks "I love you," "Thank you," and "I'm sorry" as the essentials that cover love, gratitude, and apology. He argues these three phrases hold everything that matters in how we talk to each other.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. If you were only allowed to say 3 phrases for the rest of your life, what would those 3 short phrases be? So, as I thought about that this morning, I know it's kind of random, right? But as I thought about it, there were 3 phrases that I felt like if I could only say these 3 the rest of my life, it would pretty much cover every base. And those three phrases are: I love you. That's one. Number two, thank you. It's the second phrase. And the third one is I'm sorry. I love you. Thank you. And I'm sorry. If those were the only three phrases you could speak with for the rest of your life, there's not much more than that that you would need to say. You'd be able to express the love you have for others. The gratitude and appreciation you have for others, as well as being able to express your need for forgiveness or apology. Those 3 phrases— I love you, thank you, and I'm sorry— pretty much capture how we express ourselves all the time. We just use a lot more words to articulate it. But if you can only have 3 phrases, those would be mine. I love you, thank you, and I'm sorry. That's it, everyone. What do you think? Let me know. That's your Moment of Yes for today.
