Day 3: Say this now — so you don’t regret it later

You’ve been showing up, and today, you’re going to say the thing most people never hear:

Something real you admire about them.

No overthinking. No long paragraph. Just a low-key compliment that hits.

🏀 Today’s Move: Text a friend something like:

• “You’re the person I’d call if 💩 hit the fan.”

• “You always come through...it’s underrated.”

• “You’ve got killer instincts. Rare as hell.”

• “You’re weirdly good at calming people down.”

• “Just wanted to say, I really admire how you handle stuff.”
  
  I’ll never forget this: When my second son was born, the nurse looked at me, mid-chaos, and said,

“You have a calming energy.”

I’ve been holding onto that one ever since...still use it as ammo when my wife says I’m being annoying.

Point is: These little moments stick. Way more than we realize. Most people miss this link, but here’s ​why compliments like this land​ and how to make yours unforgettable.

Pick what feels like you. Or better yet, say the thing you’ve thought a hundred times but never said.

Why it works: Most people only hear this stuff at weddings or funerals. You’re saying it on a random Tuesday.

And they’ll remember it...for a long time.

See you tomorrow. – Matt, The Friendship Guy 👊
