Here are two oddly effective steps to improve your relationship and influence with anyone.
- Say silently to yourself about the other person, “I see that you and I are similar.”
- Say silently to yourself about the other person, “I wish for you happiness, growth, and freedom.” To this feel free to add, “And I wish the same for me.”
Turn these into habits and enjoy the results.
In your corner,
Mike
PS: Bonus points! Most people doubt themselves. Say silently to yourself about the other person, “I believe in you.” And feel free to add, “And in me.”
