Living Your Best Life

Instant Inspiration and Timeless Wisdom

We teach people how to behave towards us.

It's true. We teach people how to treat us by the way we respond to what they do for us. Tragically we all to often teach them to treat us the way we do not want to be treated.

Let me give you some examples.

Most women that I know like to get flowers yet many of them complain that they never do and they blame their "insensitive" partners for not giving them flowers. Now, when I am presenting a seminar I ask the women in the audience, what the first thought is that enters their minds when their partners bring them flowers and the answer is, "What has he done wrong now"

How encouraging is that? Your partner brings you flowers and you think he is guilty of something.

The tragedy is that all too often we are only nice to each other when we are trying to make up for some transgression.

We all love to be complimented but how often do we throw the compliment back or just write it off. We get told "Great job" and we answer "Oh it was nothing." We are given a gift and we say "Oh, you shouldn't have." We are complimented on our outfit and we say "Oh this old thing I really must get a new one" Then we can't understand it when people stop complimenting us or giving us gifts.

How do you think the "giver" feels when we tell them that thee gift has no value?

What would you do if when you said "Oh, it was nothing" the other person said, "You know you are right, nothing special about that job at all." or when you say "Oh you shouldn't have" the other person grabs the gift back and says "You're right. I don't know what I was thinking to get you a gift. Sorry"

Take the time to teach people to treat you the way that you would like to be treated by responding gracefully to gifts and compliments and by constantly finding ways to compliment others. Make the "giver" feel good about giving and you'll be surprised at how much more you get.

To live your best life be true to the YOU, that you want to be.

Live with passion. Change your life from making a living to making a difference.

Live up to the reputation that you want to have.
