"Greet everyone you meet with a warm smile, no matter how busy you are. Don't rush encounters with coworkers, family, and friends. Speak softly. Listen attentively. Act as if every conversation you have is the most important thing on your mind today. Look you children and your partner in the eyes when they talk to you. Stroke the cat; caress the dog. Lavish love on every living being you meet. See how different you feel at the end of the day."
I sometimes find it hard to give people my full attention during the day because I'm usually in a rush or worrying about something else. I've made it a personal goal to make everyone I come in contact with feel like they are the most important person that I will see that day.
Although I am single and don't have any children, I do make an effort to look every person in the eye. If you know me at all, you will know that I am obsessed with dogs, so "caressing the dog" will be no problem at all.
The part that spoke to me the most was "lavish love." I, regretfully, do not lavish love on all those that I come in contact with, and I hope to become better at that! I get so caught up in me, me, me that I forget to lavish love on others.

If we all followed these instructions, I'm convinced that the world would be a happier place!
