Talk less! •Never be too busy to make a new friend when the opportunity presents itself. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Practice Communicates Worth These are just a few pointers when relating to others. Practicing them communicates to others their worth to us. In the Christian scriptures we are told to: “love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.” Having the above pointers as our motivators will enhance our abil- ity to put them into practice. These pointers are spiritual as well as social disciplines that we can prac- tice for more meaningful relation- ships. Considering them and making them a proactive part of our commu- nication will help us stay focused on what is important. Relationships, both personal and professional, are often difficult. They sometimes bring pain. However, if we relate to others by the ways listed above, we can turn negative patterns
