Bring out the best in people. Sometimes you have to give every drop of yourself to people. I think one of the easiest ways to do it is to appreciate and respect them.
Think you have assertive skills with your communication and behavior? Assertion is not dropping an f-bomb on a fellow earthling by telling him how stupid he is. It is not eyeing someone down like an animal watching its prey. It is not shovelling words down someone's throat until they agree with your stance. That is aggression. You might be saying to yourself now "oh great, I have to be a sissy to be assertive". Wrong again. That is submission and allows people to take advantage of you. Assertion is a medium in between aggression and submission where everybody wins. Yes, everybody becomes a winner. Hooray! Hey, master assertive skills for excellent communication and behaviour information about expressing yourself without leaving the other person crying, or without leaving you crying.
Think about it for a minute. Being close and being clever ain't like being true. Think to yourself that everyday is your last, the hour to which we do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise. Lets be true to ourselves and constanly embrace appreciating and respecting the other persons, we may never have tomorrow to do it! Showing apprecaition and respect is showing God's love to one another, to acquintancies, to strangers. Its today its now!
Lets think about assertiveness in our relationships.
