There are four very important phrases, that I heard as I listened to Krista Tippett on On Being interviewing David Isay, founder of StoryCorps – phrases that hold enormous power. They point to conversations to have with those around you, those most dear to your heart. Preferably, have them before that important someone dies.
The phrases are the following:
Thank you.
I love you.
Forgive me.
I forgive you.
When these phrases are spoken with conviction – true – into the world, something shifts.
It grounds you, both of you, all of you, in the moment. In the now. Here. In life. In love. In understanding and connection.
When did you last say these four phrases to someone important in your life?
And is there perhaps a conversation you should have, before it’s too late?
