I often get the question, “what can I do to change my relationship with wife\/friend\/co-worker?” (This usually means – “how can I change the other person?”)<\/p>\n
The answer to the first question is really simple: Just take one step.<\/p>\n
One small act of kindness.<\/p>\n
One gift of a compliment.<\/p>\n
One of their favorite candy bars given with a small note of gratitude.<\/p>\n
One sacrifice or service.<\/p>\n
One smile.<\/p>\n
One wink.<\/p>\n
One blessing in spite of whatever happened.<\/p>\n
One step of forgiveness.<\/p>\n
One apology with follow through.<\/p>\n
Now, this doesn’t mean that things will turn around immediately, but if you take that one small step every day (yes! every day), and do it faithfully, the relationship will change.<\/p>\n
And so will you.<\/p>\n
