Put People First
Resolve today to develop the habits of men and women who enjoy wonderful
relationships for all the days of their lives. Let go of everything that has happened
in the past that has hurt you in any way, and instead concentrate on making other
people feel important.
Make it a habit to go through life doing and saying the things that raise the selfesteem of others and make them feel valuable. Every kind and generous thing that you do or say for anyone else will boomerang back on you and make you a
happier, healthier, more successful person. There are no limits.
Action Exercises:
1. Make a list of the most important people in your life, personal and business;
think of specific things you could do to improve your relationships with these people.
2. Resolve today to make others feel important whenever you can; start at
home with the most valuable people in your life.
3. Develop the habit of listening better when you converse with other people; pay close attention, pause before replying, question for clarification and feed back what they say in your own words.
4. Develop an attitude of gratitude for everything and everyone in your life that you are happy about for any reason; say “thank you” on every occasion.
5. Give “one minute praisings” to your family members, friends, co-workers and other people you meet throughout the day.
6. Maintain a healthy balance between your work and your family life; make plans to spend more quality time with the people you care about the most. 7. Practice forgiving everyone and anyone who has hurt you in any way; let go all past grievances and get so busy working on goals that are important to you that you don’t have time to think about the past.
“Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and
good health have vanished.” (Og Mandino)
