The Way That We Treat People Has Nothing To Do With Them - That's the Bottom Line!

Our treatment of others really speaks as to who we are, not who they are!

That's because we get to decide who we are, who we want to be, and how we're going to treat others regardless of who they are, who they want to be, or how they've treated us.

I cannot make anyone be anything - except myself. That is the person that I can make that decision for and no-one else.

I get irritated at others sometimes,& I think its their fault.,. But I can decide to be irritated or not be irritated - so whose fault is it really?

Regardless of your business, when you deal with people are day long you get ample opportunity lo demonstrate self control. Let's Do It!

38 Comments on The Way That We Treat People Has Nothing To Do With Them - That's the Bottom Line!

When things get hectic and they feel to be in a terrible mess, remember, it could always be worse! Rich reminded me of that in a post earlier today.

There's no reason to get all rowdy and treat people unkindly just because we're having a bad moment. Always keep a smile on and your head held high and it'll make the world of difference to you and others.

I'm in and thank you so much for reminding us! It takes much time to develop other's trust and respect but only a second to lose it. We tend to forget that we are no better than anyone else, so why not treat everyone with the same respect and kindness that we would want to be treated. Thanks again!

I saw a great quote recently. It said that when someone annoys you, there can only be two causes. The other person isn't mature or you aren't.

Amen sister......

Judi,

Thanks for saying this in print! Ain't it the truth!

Sometimes you can change the tone of even thr rudest person just by being pleasant to them. God Bless You

Judi--We only can change ourselves...not others. Good post

You are so right. God is no respector of persons and we should not be either.

Judi, good post.....treating others like we want to be treated - it's very simple, isn't it? You're right as we do have the choice.

Judi - great post! It goes a long way toward showing our professionalism as well. How we treat others shines through and will often be the reason why someone chooses to use our services as opposed to someone elses.

Judi, I agree. With my customers God is the bottom line. I conduct my business dealings accordingly. Good post. 8-}

Judi,

That is so true, SOmetimes people are preoccupied with themselves and do not see what they are doing/ I just have to watch when my pms is on the rise combine that with menopause and I can see how a 50 yr.old lady was shot in an alley after going after some graffitti gang. It's a dangerous combination..Somedays I want to take off somoeone's head and the next day I could careless about their behavior. It always surprises me when my high maintainence clients actually want you to tell them what to do and that it's going to be ok.

Great learning experience...

Ricardo, absolutely. The smile can made all the difference. Thanks for the input.

Melissa, There's just no reason to treat others badly. Sometimes we have to decide to stay away from someone but that's a better choice. Thanks for commenting.

Melissa, stopped by to checK out your blog to discover that your didn't have one started yet. I bet with your busy life right now there's doesn't seem to be any time.

Karen, & line that one-I must remember it! Thanks.

Alex, burning the candle at both ends is not good. Get some seep-and thanks for reading.

Thats they way He told us to react to other people. It affects the way we live also. How true. Thanks

Great article on self-control, it pays of when you bump into someone again in line in Safeway. You are exercising integrity and respect in your stance.

Thanks again

Hi Judi, this is something we constantly need to keep a check on. Thanks for the reminder

Judi ~ You are soo right! I am blessed in that my natural personality is to assume that they are having a hard day. I happen to be the glass is half full kind of person! Thanks for the reminder! :) Many blessings to you!

Amen to that. It's a choice we don't have to choose. This should be featured for all to see.

Judi - You have hit upon a point that is the basis of my life now. In 1999, I read the book "The Four Agreements" and one of the agreements is to not take anything personally. Now, my mantra is "What you think of me (if it is negative) is none of my business."

Mike, That's it! Thanks for stopping in. It doesn't matter where any of us live or what position we hold in life. The truth ‘s the truth. Judi

Hugh, Yes! Absolutely. I've heard that people will have an opinion of someone, based upon the vibes that are being reflected back to them from that person's reaction to who they are. How that was a sentence that might not have made sense at all. .I appreciate your walk with our Lord.

Don, I am so glad that God's not a respecter of persons or I wouldn't stand a chance. Thanks for the input.

Lynn, The golden rule never fails does it? Thanks for reading.

Renae, It sure does. It is the very essence of professionalism. That sounds like a good blog title. Let me make myself a note.

Michael, if all of us would operate that way, there would be a lot fewer problems. Thanks for the input.

Mary, its great that you have realized and analyzed causes for grouchiness. When we do that, we are better able to remain controlled. Thanks for reading & leaving comments.

Nicholas, Amen!! Day to day, live it Thanks for reading.

John, It sure does. Sometimes people find it easy to nasty on the phone, not thinking about having to face that person somewhere. Thanks for the input! I did Google" Benson those Property" and press "I'm feeling lucky" and it torn me lo your blog on Geo-caching How did you do that?

Peggy, yes, we all need to be aware of our attitude toward others. Thanks for reading.

Sarah, I do understand. & side for everyone to be happy & try to find away to help them get there.

Robert, We get to choose how to be and how we're going to upend to people regardless of how they act. Thanks for reading.

judi,

This is so true, you have the choice to be angry or not. I tell my daughter all the time, you are choosing to let your older brother aggravate you. If you chose not to pay attention "He would quit because it would no longer be any fun for him" She still chooses to let him win, so I just laugh.

Judi,

This is a true and uplifting blog. We all need reminders to keep us in check and this is a perfect one to do so!

Judi, Years ago when I was a rookie, I was cold calling and happened to get the rudest woman ever. She went on and on, when it was time to end the conversation I said facetiously, " Mrs._____ you continue to have a really wonderful day". She became so pleasant and graciously thanked me. Go figure.

Hi Judi, It's so true that people can get on your last nerve sometimes and we just have to learn not to react the wrong way, but try to be the better person and hope that it rubs off on them. Who knows, maybe it will change their day for the better!
