Of course this goes for friends and family too; how do you relate to them these days? They can be annoying at times but let's face it, so can you, and you (hopefully) don't treat yourself badly... do you...? If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? Go ahead, you're worth it!
And what about the other people we deal with on a day to day basis? Our work colleagues; and not just the ones we work closely with or those we like. How many people at your work do you know or more importantly, how many could you know if you just made that little extra effort? The receptionist on the way in, the fork lift driver in the warehouse, the cleaner, the stressed executive... do you know anything about these people you pass everyday with the same joy, sadness and problems you have. You could be missing out on your new best friend or the love of your life!
Finally let's not forget our attitude toward strangers; the checkout person in the supermarket, the bus driver, the person you pass on the street? They're all real people with real life battles going on, so aren't they also worthy of your best? The affect you can have on someone's day, (or even life) just by the way you treat them in those few small moments can be profound. Be kinder than necessary to everyone you meet. Be the best you can be; say hello to a stranger today, it may just make their, (or your) day...:-)
