'Your 3 Words,' the Live Event on 'Good Morning America'
The epic event unfolds in a dozen locations across America and abroad.
Sept. 8, 2011 — -- "Good Morning America" asked: How much can you say in just three words? Can you express your thoughts, your feelings, your sadness or joy? Could your three words be a celebration of a special event, or a thought on everyday life?
Viewer responses poured in.
"Your Three Words" became a weekly "GMA" segment where three words sent in by viewers are set to video and aired on TV and online.
So "GMA" reached even higher and dreamed even bigger.
What if we took "Your Three Words" live? What if we spotlighted "GMA" viewers sharing the three words that inspire them, from dozens of locations across America and abroad?
Never been done. So much fun. Most inspiring morning.
The "Your Three Words" live event unfolded today from "GMA's" brand-new studio in the heart of Times Square with "GMA's" anchors and crew sharing their most inspiring words.
"I. Love. Sarina.," were the three words Josh Elliott sent out to his three-year-old daughter.
"Bring. It. On.," challenged Robin Roberts.
From Times Square it was on to Chicago's Millennium Park -- where Deeply Rooted Dance Troup performed a choreographed number, revealing their three words: "Turning Life Around."
"Dance has been the catalyst of my inspiration," one Troup member told "GMA." "I've been able to do things I never thought were possible. Everyone is capable of it."
At Boston's Fenway Park, Little League players -- boys and girls -- lined up near a pitcher's mound. Their three words? "We Dream Big."
"They mean that you can be successful in life and achieve your goals," a young boy explained. "My dream is to work in law enforcement and to be a cop to help out my community."

Calling the chance to be a part of "Your Three Words" a "huge honor," the band was happy to add its own three words to the live event.
"Take More Chances."
"I know a lot of people in life are afraid to take chances, " lead singer Ryan Tedder said. "The whole reason we exist is because we took chances."
"Take more chances. I'm all for it," he said.
