Nobody is perfect and that is perfectly alright! We don't want to be robots, but we do want to be liked and accepted. Some people are liked the moment they are born. They have that special quality known as charisma. They are like magnets and draw attention wherever they go without doing or saying a thing. Others have to work at being liked and accepted. Who cares about charisma! Follow these guidelines to become a more likable and lovable you:
- Stop and listen to your friends, really listen. Be available to them if they ever need you. You may have a million problems of your own but your friend's problems may be 10 times worse.
- Be happy-go-lucky. Be glad that no matter what is going on around you, you are alive. Imagine the turmoil your loved ones and family would be going through if you suddenly died. Everything in this world has a solution except death.
- Smile. People tend to like those that smile. Smile at strangers and make their day. Remember the time when you were having the worst day ever and then someone smiled at you and it made it all a little better.
- Give compliments. If you like someone's new coat, let them know it. If someone bought an awesome new car tell them so. Sometimes a nice compliment will turn someone's day completely around.
- Accept that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Everything has its pros and cons. Nobody in this world can claim to be living the perfect life. People living in poverty claim to have nothing--but then they owe nothing. Millionaires may claim to have it all but they also owe most of it. So try to be content with what you have. One day, you will have more.
- Always keep a positive outlook on life. Your positive way of thinking will shine through and rub off on the right people. That will in turn get others to think positively also.
Try to practice these on a daily basis. The way you lead your life will make an impact on the people around you.
Good luck and keep smiling! Your day may get even better.
