Empower Newsletter – July 2015
Welcome to the July 2015 edition of the Empower Newsletter and the beginning of the new financial year. This month the focus is on treating people in a way that you would like to be treated.
Do you know?
‘what you are attracting’
Are people in your life treating you the way you would like to be treated? Would you like them to start treating you differently (in a certain way)? Do you want them to make you feel more special, more loved, or maybe listen to you more and really hear what you are saying.
Well the trick is, when we treat people the way we want to be treated ourselves, it rubs off. In other words they will eventually start treating us the same way that we have been treating them!
“Why should I treat them this way first?” I hear you say. Well the answer is simple really, it’s because it will get you what you ultimately want which is being treated a certain way. And what is the alternative, continue waiting or trying to make the other person change?
It is up to us to change first! How can we expect someone else to change and for us to say the same? That’s the same as saying they are wrong and we are right. And everyone thinks they are right! If this is the way you are thinking then my question is “How is being right working for you, is it giving you what you ultimately want? Is it getting you treated the way you would like?”
It is the same for just about anything in our lives. Can we really expect someone to treat us a certain way when we don’t give them the same courtesy? For example, if you want to be spoken to in a nice way, a good question to ask yourself is, “am I speaking to the other person in a nice way or in a way that I want to be spoken to?”
It works the same for attracting people into our lives. If we want to be around uplifting people then we need to start being uplifting ourselves. Do you think that uplifting people want to spend a lot of time with people who aren’t? I don’t think so!
If you look around at the people you choose to associate with regularly it will give you a good indication of how you are being. If they mostly put other people down, complain, have a victim mentality, etc., more than likely you are being that way too! It’s not really who you are it’s just what you are doing. The same goes for good qualities in people around us. If they are generally happy and find the best in people and situations chances are we are being that way as well.
So if you would like more of something in your life, the trick is to start being that way yourself! Before you know it you will be surrounded by like-minded people and being treated the way you would like and totally enjoying life so much more!
Definition

Golden Rule
One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself
and
one should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
Something to Ponder
People who have great lives think and talk about what they love more than what they don’t love. And people who are struggling, think and talk about what they don’t love more than what they do love.
Quote of the Month
“Do unto others what you want them to do to you. Don’t deceive if you don’t want to be deceived. Don’t cheat if you don’t want to be cheated. Relationship is mutual. This is the golden rule for all great connections!”
