LAWK 12 - Thank you Not Sorry LAWK: Life Advice with Keon

Everyone is usually sorry for something. "Sorry I'm late" "Sorry you didn't like it" "Sorry for the inconvenience". It's easy to be sorry. But its hard, and much more rewarding, to be thankful.


The next time you want to use the word Sorry, try using the word Thank you. This will open up your brain to a whole world of reasons to be thankful. "Thank you for being patient" "Thank you for being honest" "Thank you for understanding". When you approach a situation positively, you not only are showing your gratitude to people, but you make people feel respected and valued.


There are situations that might require a "Sorry" such as creating an issue for someone. But by using "Thank you" instead, you are immediately assigning people an adjective. "Thank you for understanding" now that person is understanding and kind. "Thank you for being patient" now that person is patient. You are paying people a compliment and they are more likely to reciprocate that compliment then feel bad about the situation.


And when you show people your gratitude and approach any issue with a positive attitude you'll want to say Thank you, not Sorry.
