To improve our relationships with others, he offers these five rules:
- Get Along with Yourself — The one relationship you have until you die is with yourself. Treat yourself with the love and respect you deserve.
- Value People — You cannot make another feel important if you secretly feel that he or she is not. Recognize that everyone has innate value.
- Make the Effort to Form Relationships — Chuck Swindoll said, “It’s like they say in the Army, when you dig a foxhole, make enough room for two.” Reach out, make room and enjoy new relationships.
- Understand the Reciprocity Rule — What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.
- Follow the Golden Rule — If every person made decisions based on the Golden Rule, we would all make more right decisions.
