People were not created to live in isolation. We are social beings. Working together makes life easier for each individual. These five secrets allow you to live and work with others comfortably and happily.
1. The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. Do you like yourself? If not then figure out how to do so. You want to change your self-image if you feel anything other than love for yourself. You want to love everything about you. You cannot love others until you fulfill this first step.
2. See the Divine in each person. Remember that we are Diving beings having human experiences. Now matter how a person appears to you-selfish, thoughtless, happy, sad, etc.-look past their behavior to the love at their center. Send love to them regardless of how you feel about them. They will feel it and act accordingly. I do not mean romantic love. I mean respect and honoring.
3. Expect the best from others. You always get what you expect because you treat others according to the way you expect them to act. If you think you do not like someone with whom you know you will have to spend some time then take that person out of the box you stuck them in and see them differently.
If you saw them as annoying let go of that picture and see them as helpful and pleasant. They will become thoughtful and pleasant because you are now sorting for evidence of those new behaviors and you will always see what you expect to see. Always.
4. Become an expert listener. When you are with someone (in person or on the phone) be there 100%. Keep your mind focused on the Make that person the most important person in the whole world. In fact, whomever you are with becomes the most important person in the world-when you engage with them fully at 100%. Let them know how important they are by giving them your full undivided attention. They will sense your full presence and feel honored-and loved.
5. Practice great communication skills. That subject is an article in itself so I will just outline how to listen to others. Ask how they want you to listen to them. Ask if their sharing is confidential. If they say yes then honor their request. Listen actively if they want you to. Just listen silently if they want that. Only give advice if they ask for it. Give them reason to trust you and they will come to you whenever they need to talk.
Great relationships take work. People grow and change over time. When you live in happiness changes in your world hold less impact on you. Love yourself first and all else will fall into place--always.
