RELATIONSHIP TIP:OPINIONS Vs PEOPLE

Anyone who values loves his opinions more than his friends will defend his opinions and destroy his friends. People who are not effective in relationships usually have a higher regard for their opinions than they do for people. We need to step back and look at what is really important to us. Is it really helping or hindering our relationships with people? Give others the benefit of the doubt. We usually rule ourselves with our hearts and others with our heads. We have mercy on ourselves but not on the other person. If you want to build a relationship follow this rule: when working with others, use your heart, but when working with yourself use your head. Give other people the benefit of the doubt. Hold yourself to a higher standard than other people. From: Be All You Can Be By: Dr. John C. Maxwell
