See people the way you want them to be

Treat people like they were already the way you would want them to be, and they will eventually start reacting in the same manner.

I once read a book by Norman Vincent Peale called The Power Of Positive Thinking. He comprehensively explained this topic in that book.

I had a boyfriend back then who was not treating me right, and we always had quarrels. But after reading that book, I decided to practice what I learned with my boyfriend. I started treating him as if he was the best boyfriend anyone would ever wish for. After three weeks of treating him so right, he called me and asked why I was doing that. He also confessed that he does not deserve what I was doing for him. He then begged for my forgiveness and started treating me with much love and respect. That was how he changed.

A lot of times, we create wars all around us by the way we react. You can choose not to react in direct proportion to other people's actions. But react according to how you would have loved them to behave. I have tried this a couple of times and it works wonders.

However, it did not produce result every time. I had this toxic friend who saw it as me being stupid. All I did was to completely cut him off from my life. Toxic people hardly change for good. They seek every opportunity to exploit others more and more. Be very careful when dealing with a toxic person.

You have the power to create the experiences you want to have. At least, to some extent, you do. Make use of it.
