Most people don’t let someone else finish their sentence or thought before they interrupt or start thinking about what they want to say. Listen. Really listen like you care.
Everyone wants respect. Don’t lie. Friends don’t lie to each other. But find something, anything, you can really respect about that person, and show them respect for it. How they treat their mother well. How they excel in sports. How they’re selfless. How they overcome childhood obstacles and succeed.
Most people I’ve met quickly turn conversations about themselves. Don’t do that. We all need to vent and be heard, but so do your friends.
Go out of your way to celebrate birthdays and achievements and little things.
The world is hard and cold and friendships under attack.
Doing these little things really can make someone’s life better.
(I’ve been crazy busy, Guys. But I’ll get some more videos up soon. In the meantime, I’m so glad so many of you are out there doing good things in the real world. Keep it up!)
