“The most important words you will ever say are the
words you say to yourself, about yourself, when you
are by yourself.”
John Maxwell believes relationships can fall into one of
four categories:
1.
Those that add to who we are
2.
Those that subtract from who we you are
3.
Those that multiply our strengths
4.
Those that divide our strengths and relationships.
Five Basic Rules to help build relationships:
1.
Get Along with Yourself - The one relationship you have until you die is with
yourself. Treat yourself with the love and the respect you deserve. If you
don’t like who you see in the mirror – make changes.
2.
Value People - You cannot make another person feel valued if you believe that
person has no importance in the community.
3.
Make the Effort to Form Relationships - Humans survive and thrive on relationships
with others. Make the effort to build some and choose the ones that will add to
who you wish to become and those who will multiply and develop your strengths
and dreams.
4.
Understand the Reciprocity Rule - What you put into your life and the lives of
others comes back into your own. Choose your words and actions carefully.
5.
Follow the Golden Rule - If every person made decisions based on the above rules
then we would all make more right decisions.
Good luck on building a better you and a better
community……From Mario
