In writing up descriptions of houses for sale many adjectives are used like stunning, awesome, gorgeous, beautiful, etc. Words are very powerful and coupled with this I am continually aware in life how time is so short for us. These powerful words NEED to be spoken to each other too. Positive words daily. Uplifiting messages. Words and phrases that make us laugh and smile.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW YOU CARE.
Do not assume they know. Even if you know they know, remind them CONSTANTLY. There is nothing better to tell the people in your life that you love THAT, drum roll please,
YOU LOVE THEM!!!!!
I cannot emphasize this point any better than that, other than you need to get out there and practice this over and over till you get it right and no one has any doubt how you feel. So,
Words are so powerful. Reminders like this are good for us all! Thank you for reminding us what is really important.
Gary, you are so right and it is so easy to take for granted those that are closest to us.
Gary, I agree! I tell my kids and my husband that I love them, all day long! I never end a phone call to a family member without telling them I love them. Again, you deliver gentle reminders for all of us!
I never speak to my mom or my sons on the telephone without ending the call with I love you. I regularly tell my friends that I love them. I even say it to the cat and now the puppy!
I haven't seen the movie The Bucket List yet but I love Morgan Freeman and would gladly listen to him speak every day if it were possible. His voice is very soothing.
PS... I don't know who was singing that song, but he was a real cutie! Good grief. It should be illegal to have full lips and a cleft in his chin! Sorry, I digressed.x
xxoo
Hi Gary, sure agree..... words are powerful. Thanks for bringing it to mind. It is a wonderfuk post, I am not surprised Your post are amazing...you are innovative and very gifted.
your post are always entertaining and inspirational and I look forward to reading them. I checked your profile to see if you were an author and it didn't say. If you are not...you should be thanks for all the worthwhile post
Yes, and once said you can't take them back....so always try to be kind and loving.
Great post.
Sure made me think about what I should have said today.
Thanks, Gary.
Gary, What I need to say is......thank you for your blogs.
Gary - This is so true. I am gettng better at this not as stiff a I use to be,
Thanks Gary. I love you. Later in the rain~Deb
Gary ~ I tell my family I love them all the time. I also tell other people I know that I appreciate them and/or what they've done. The pleasure that comes across their faces at this is a wonderful thing to see; it has actually made my day on occasion.
Funny you should pick that song. I just finished watching "The Bucket List" and that is on the soundtrack. A very poignant song with a good message.
Jeff: That's me, Mr. Reminder Man : )
Marchel: But you, don't take anyone for granted. You are GREAT in this area of saying what you need to say.
Corey: Let them know you care. You will be the hero, trust me.
Elizabeth: You are a Master at this. Teach it to others for a better world!
Tom: Always say your loving words. I know you do. I love you man!!
Susan: You are just a born lover, admit it ; ) Keep it up, we need more like you. You have to see Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. It is funny and touching at the same time. The artist that your are drooling over is John Mayer. It is so easy to distract you : ) xxoo
Kat: Those cutie pies are a stock photo, but I'll adopt them : )
Kate: Give and receive love all around. All I see are smiles : )
June: Thanks for your words. Just a Realtor who has fun writing. I should write a book some day.
Linda: That's the other side of powerful words. The negative ones hurt and can't be taken back.
Jacqueline: You're so welcome and thank you for reading and commenting.
Jennifer: You're the life of the party, just say those I love yous everywhere and watch the people light up.
Deb: I love you too!
Kathy: I KNEW you were a lover. Bucket List is an excellent film.
Kelly: You love them no matter what. That's a good Mom!
Pam Winterbauer: Yes, on the hard words they definitely can sting. Be careful with those.
Pam Pugmire: Very good point about never saying it enough and assuming they "know." You and Susan are in agreement on the Hollywood hotties.
We say "I love you" but I've had other friends very uncomfortable with it. We do need to say it -AND- do it so the words don't get taken for granted!
And calling each other some of the adjective we use for houses might be a good plan while we are at it.... "Like New" "Stunning" "Ready for you" "A Diamond in the Rough" ok, not that one... you know what I mean :)
Hi Gary, Thank You! I agree with you! We can't overdo encouragement to each other! No overdosing can ever happen! My professor and Dean of Doctoral Studies in my school is demonstrating love and encouragement to me that is transforming me! I am amazed! Your inspiring posts affect me the same way! Gary, I think You are the Poster Child for AR!
Gary - this is so true...for so many people it's hard to communicate their feelings - just 3 little words is all it takes. A hug sometimes instead of a handshake means more than any words can convey too.
Gary: So true in the application of words to life and business--I'm actually working on a post relating to words that SELL your properties! Great minds, huh?!
You are full of compliments to others here and it is greatly appreciated--especially from little 'ole me! And, I LOVE that photo!
Jeff, I agree, but I have to mean it in order to say it. What I am trying to say is words without actions are meaningless.
Gary, I love being able to come to your blog and finding positive uplifting posts that always make me smile! Some of your posts even have lingering effects....for instance, I'm starting to feel like that I may soon look like that skeleton picture from your post the other day. I wish that I have you help me with coming up with some great words for my newest listing since I am pretty darn close to being brain dead at the moment. I'm looking forward to what you have to say tomorrow.
Michelle: What can I say? An overactive brain LOL. But I've got really good at paying attention to life. I feel like I am on a mission to get it all done before I run out of time.
Kim: Don't take the I love yous for granted. SAY THEM!!! I like the descriptions of people as houses. Diamond in the rough LOL. That DOES fit some people!!
Dan: It's all about transforming by all of us. Love that poster child comment. Should I ask for donations?? ; )
Mary: A hug can be well remembered instead of a handshake.
Debe: I look forward to that special post. You are so good with words. The cutie pie picture was fun to find.
Mana: Definitely be sincere with your words, but don't hold back either. You have TREMENDOUS love in you.
Sondra: Look above at Debe Maxwell's comments. She might be writing a post just for YOU! Glad I can help you out in any small way.
Gary,
Your caring heart and compassion shine through in all your posts!
Lynda: Thanks and like attracts like. I KNOW you are a supremely caring and loving person as well.
Gary - You are a very hip guy! I just love that song - it's the good new stuff! Your message is so clear but this song helps convey your point! - Say what you need to say - tell them you care! I would also like to add - treat each day like it's our last!
Carol: Treat every day as if it is our last, that's how I live too. If you haven't seen the movie Bucket List, see it, very good. I know you are a lover and caring person Carol so you are in good shape in this area. These things I know.
Something that I need to practice everyday, Thank you for the reminder.
Don R.
Yes, Gary, we SHOULD....but too many of us DON"T :(
And for Susan....yes, it should be illegal, haha. John Mayer is definitely a cutie!
Don: Spread the love, always, before it is too late.
Kara: Do your best. You are in love with John Mayer LOL.
Susan: You ladies are so funny. But I enjoy your drooling. I have to wipe down my screen now. Funny Susan, you say music, what music? That's my Susan, so easily distracted by the hotties LOL. I'll just post the man of the week in the middle of the text and see my female subscriber memberships soar. How about those buff firemen calendar dudes? You are a riot. What else is new? xxoo
Hi Gary,
I agree...mostly. But I do feel people can get in the habit of saying the words without any thought or emotion. I believe how we say the words make a difference. Does that make sense? Well, it does to me if to no one else.
Gary...
Wow, that's something to think about ... it's easy to use superlatives for a property. so why not our loved ones? Excellent, inspiring thought!
Susan: You always forget that I like scruffy PJs and messed up hair in the morning ; ) I see the beautiful heart. All that outside stuff is just the charcoal. I see the "diamond." You are ALWAYS beautiful to me!
Cynthia: Yes, you are right we need to be genuine and not casual. But I think others know when you're genuine. Also you can't fake a hug. Try that form as well as the words. Or a luscious wet smackeroo for that special one. No doubts there.
Sondra: Debe's a great one here in the Rain. If you go back several of her posts you need to read the love story of her husband where she commented about him on reaching a milestone with number of points. You gotta read it:
http://activerain.com/blogsview/599766/Celebrating-1-K-Milestone
Super idea, I will combine a dry and boring market report with a Hottie of the Week. I know I would see Susan's face popping up on my dashboard three times as often even if she didn't leave a comment. But I would have to wipe my screen down more often from the drooling.
Richard: Superlatives for those you love. It's easy if you try.
Allison: You've got it down pat. Keep on doing what you are doing. I think that is tremendous on your part.
Gary, I believe that if people would be fully aware of the power of their spoken words so many heartache in this world could be eliminated... Moreover the power of our words can better heal than hurt life around us.
