When you’re with other people, let them know that they matter. Every bit of your success will depend on how people perceive you. If you really want to excel, it’s people who will get you there. They aren’t the obstacle, you are. It’s your people skills that will help you attain your goals. If you’re in sales, you need others to believe your sale’s pitch. If you’re in development, you need others to believe in your philanthropic endeavor. If you are a leader, you need others to follow you. If you are potential friend, you need others to take an interest in you, and so on. Send out a “you matter” energy with your words, demeanor, and actions, today.
A “you matter” attitude towards others will get you anything that you want in your life. A myopic focus on tasks, objectives, and goals will obscure your people skills, and make you come across as being too busy, or unavailable. I’m not saying that you allow people to drain all of your time or to take advantage of you, I’m just saying to pay attention to the energy that you give to others.
Keep the spotlight people. Dial up the energy that says, “you matter.” Focus on making others feel prominent, successful, and capable. When you’re with others, let them glow, even when they fall short. Let their individuality bubble through. Believe in them. Celebrate their presence, rather than judge their so-called weaknesses. People are in various stages of development, so it’s easy to hold their perceived weaknesses as a weapon against them. Instead, let them be the star, the shining light, the celebrity of your attention, even if you have to speak with them about something challenging. It will bring out their best. Practice this enough, and you’ll have the world right at your fingertips.
