Step 1
Do unto others. You’ve heard of the Golden Rule. Now put it into practice. Treat other people how you want to be treated, and you will soon reap the benefits of your kindness.
-
Step 2
Pay attention. Ask people about themselves and remember the details. Notice little things that seem to be important to them and surprise them with a gift every once and awhile. Show people that they matter to you.
-
Step 3
Take some time with them. One of the most valuable things we can give to someone is our time. Take your mom out to lunch today or head to the park with your children. You don’t have to do anything extraordinary to make the people in your life feel special; just show them that they matter to you.
-
Step 4
Remember important dates. Buy yourself a calendar and write down important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries. Even if you can’t buy a gift for every special occasion, you can make other people feel special to you by just dropping them a note or calling them on their special day.

Step 5
Don’t hold grudges. We all think that we’re going to live forever, but the truth is that we aren’t even guaranteed the next minute. So take the time you’re given and show the people in your life that they matter to you. Good or bad – these are the relationships that have helped you become who you are.
