Episode 007 - How do we have the best relationship? Who should you have the best relationship with? Who should be most important? And how do we set standards? Sadly for most, we don't know. It took me a while to realize it, and when I started to put that person first, magic happened. ;)

How do we attract the people we want in our life? What is the word attract? And how does it ties in with words of affirmations? 

The whole thing of believing in yourself entails having confidence. The belief that you are and that you will. That energy is a powerful source and would only act as a magnet to attract. But there is a secret to getting what you want quicker. That’s by doing more (finding steps to learn how to get a goal) and being the person you strive to have in your life. 

Like, you can’t be fit and skinny without working out and eating healthy. You can’t be a movie star if you don’t go to auditions. You can’t wish your kid to be an honest person if all you did was lie to your kid. Catch my drift? Lol.

We've all experienced it: people who treated us so well and people who treated us like crap. Most of the time, how we treat others is a reflection of who we are. This topic runs deeper into how you treat yourself sets the tone for how others could treat you. 

In this episode, I shared my findings and experiences to provide you with insights, and different perspectives on how you treat others say a lot about you.  And I will share 5 tips on how to get others to treat you better.

1. Know your worth and be kind
2.  Understand and respect that your perspective is different from others.
3.  Everyone has a story. Try not to judge people by their past, instead of support and show some love.
4. Always be curious. Listen with curiosity, speak with candour and act with integrity.
5. Treat everybody with kindness not because they are kind-hearted, but because you are.
