YOUNG LIVING: How to make people like you

This time of the year, we are so busy we forget some of our family or loved ones, feel alone , isolated, neglected, or excluded. We might not admit it and pretend we are fine being alone, but some of us feels sad and lonely. Everybody needs somebody sometimes. Part of the problem sometimes comes from within us. We are encouraged to practice self-love. Self love is healthy because we have to take care of our self ,we make sure we are healthy and get proper nutrition, proper sleep and enough rest, we also engage on wholesome activities, participate on things we enjoy and exercise. We do these things because these things are good for us. There is also over self-love. Over self- love is unhealthy because you love yourself too much, and you feel that you are better than everybody else. When you feel this way, your friends and family members can feel that too. The way you talk and act are their driving force to make them stay away from you because of your attitude. They don’t want to spend time with people that are argumentative. You always know better than everybody else. You just know it all. Sometimes you feel that something is wrong with them because they don’t like you. Maybe you need to look at yourself. Why people don’t people like you.

From history, being around for a while. I know this is true for me. People like me because I really like people. I haven’t met anyone that I really don’t like. I met some that I got scared . Will that count? I met a lot who I am not planning to be be around with because we have different interests. When I have a chance, I am interested to know about people’s aspirations, their culture, their health, how they become successful, miserable, or lonely. Women older than I am at the gym where I spend my time to exercise inspire me because they go to the Y faithfully. They enjoy what they are doing. Another thing that works for me, is that I try to see what is good in people. I always want to be myself. What they see, is what they get. There is always something to admire about anybody I remember Dale Carnegie’s quote, “If you want to have friends be friendly.”
