Hope you enjoyed yesterday’s lesson by Michael Lee on how to use persuasion for self improvement in your own life. It was a great one.

Today we’ll find out more about you and your love for people. People are the reason for anyone’s success. If you choose to be a person who really doesn’t care for people in general, it’s like cutting your own throat in the success arena. On the flip side of that, if you choose to become a lover of people, you could very well build you a stairway to the stars. Do you think you may need clarification on loving people? If so, you need to keep reading. This may be the best thing you all year.

Tomorrow, we’ll hear from Melvin Ng. He is a top rated teacher in speed reading. Think speed reading won’t help you improve in this life? Think again! Melvin is going to show us specific techniques and benefits of speed reading. Don’t miss it!

But for now, let’s turn our attention to Mark Thompson and what he will tell us about loving people.

Do You Love or Hate People? How Do You Know?
Why Is It Important?

By Mark Thompson

“People are people.” But what does that mean? Well, if you’ve been around a lot of people at any given time, you’ll notice that people can not be categorized or labeled as one specific thing. We, people, are as different in experience and personality. We are snowflakes. There isn’t any two just alike.

What does that mean in the realm of personal development? That could mean anything you choose it to mean. Do you like snowflakes? Just like snowflakes people can be cold. Does that make you mad or do you know how to deal with it? I’m sure there are times that someone has made you mad. But do you let that be a guidepost for how you treat others?

Here’s a more directed question. Do you like people? Ah!

Have you ever really thought about that question? Do you really like people? Most people have never thought about that question. But if you really want to succeed in life – and mean in any area you want – you need to really search your soul for the answer to that question.

If you have once ounce of hesitation to answer, “Yes. I love people.” Then you need to evaluate your true love for people. Are you really just putting on a nice face that allows you to tolerate more?

Think about it. If you really love people, how in the world can you not be successful? You’re every working in every possible position in life is driven by working with people. It’s a logical progression of thought to realize that, if you are a lover of those people, that love will come back in return. But it won’t just come back. It will come back in volumes more than you gave it. It will come back in more than in the one way you gave it. It will eventually come back with those people you love holding you up high as a success.

You can’t fake this skill. It has got to be from the heart. So how do you know if you have a genuine love for people? Well if you doubt at all, then you may need to develop this skill and gift. And don’t doubt that it is a skill you can develop just as much as it is a gift you can give. Below are some very simple ways to develop your love for people.

1. Make a conscious effort to meet people.

    People are not all scary. There are so many that are willing to make another friend.
    You can never have too many friends. Friends are assets. Friends are fun. Here’s a
    great way to build a relationship. Be a friend first. If you try and be a friend, you’ll
    automatically have a new friend. Don’t believe me? Smile at the next person you see
    and tell me what happens.

2. Do not be afraid. If you approach someone with fear, it will show like the bright light
     in the darkest cavern of the world. Just be yourself and enjoy meeting new people. If
     you enjoy the process and get to know people, you will learn so much about life. Fear
     serves only for a hindrance for personal development. Again, your love for people is a
     great way to personally grow and develop. Don’t be afraid of it.

3. Believe in yourself. If you have problems with this one, you’ll need to start here. If
     you do not believe in yourself, then you’ll have a hard time really believing in others.
     Belief is a powerful thing. If you really believe in something, you’ll certainly support
     it. So believe in yourself. Others will too. What a great support system!

4. Practice. Practicing meeting people will give you the confidence you need to allow yourself
    to really love people. Set a goal of how many new people you want to meet each week.
    Meet that goal. Pay special attention to your eye contact, handshake and, for goodness
    sake, smile. You’ll definitely get a smile back.

Eventually all of this will become second nature to you and you’ll just find yourself naturally, fearlessly, confidently meeting anyone you want to meet.

But don’t be confused about this article. If you get the real point, it could change the way you look at life, people and your role as the person you are. Your success is directly related to that very fact.

So I’ll ask you again. Do you love people?
