What energy do you bring to others?
I think sometimes we make being a better human being much more complicated than it needs to be.
For me, I see three easy starters.
Acceptance. Approval. Appreciation.
Start with acceptance.
People do not need to become who you think they should be before you can accept them for who they are. One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that I cannot change another person. I can influence them, but real change must come from within them.
And strangely enough, when people feel accepted instead of judged, they often become more willing to grow.
Then comes approval.
Instead of constantly looking for what someone is doing wrong, start looking for what they are doing right. There is always something. Sometimes you just have to become intentional about seeing it.
What you focus on grows in your awareness.
Finally, appreciation.
Think about the people in your life and ask yourself when you last made them feel valuable. Not when you thought it. When you actually expressed it.
Your spouse. Your children. Your friends. Your coworkers. Even the stranger you interact with today.
People want to feel seen. They want to feel heard. They want to know they matter.
So today, practice these three things.
Accept someone without trying to change them.
Approve of something good you see in them.
Appreciate them enough to tell them their value.
You may discover that becoming a better person is not about changing everyone around you.
It is about changing the energy you bring to them.
