Here are a few things to give some thought to this week.

• Don’t just listen to or understand people: Really hear them.
• Love and support everyone, but require their best.
• Speak in messages, not clichés, opinions, or possibilities.
• Communicate fully in the moment.
• See faults in people, but accept them.
• Be unconditionally constructive.
• Fully handle tasks.
• Don’t seek credit.
• Want the best for people, but don’t be tied to it.
• Show people you care.
• Be others focused.
• Be interested in the conversation at hand.
• Appreciate others.
• Watch your association.
• Be interdevelopmental with people: Not codependent, dependent, or merely interdependent.
• Be grateful to and for others, and they feel it.
• Cause things to happen, don’t wait for them to happen.
• Always add value.
• Give the gifts that the other person really wants.
• Fill your needs first.
