New Years and a reflection in treating people well

Thoughts for a better new year...

You only love someone as much as they feel loved, you only respect someone as much as they feel respected, you only appreciate someone as much as they feel appreciated.
You see life and love is relative to me...
It doesn't matter how well you feel you treat your love, your friends and your family, if your loved ones don't feel that you treat them well, than listen to them.
I hope they love you enough to be honest with you and brave enough to tell you so.
You see some people have no idea what it means to treat their loved ones well. They never had a proper example of what that looks like. They weren't treated well, they were ignored or maybe they just didn't have people that were able to be a good example to show them what treating people well looks like. They are confused when someone says "you aren't treating me well." But if enough people who love or loved you tell you that you don't treat them well, than listen. Get some help. Learn what it REALLY means to treat others well. Because not everyone comes into this world and automatically knows how to treat others well. It is what we learn as we grow from examples of people in our lives and how they treat us and those they claim to love and care for.
 I believe if you realize you need to be better at this and want to, you can learn or re-learn how to treat others well but it takes effort, changes in habits and an awareness that not everyone is capable of. I hope in this new year that you treat others well and that you listen and take actions to better yourself for those who love you and those you love.
So much of the new year is spent in the gym, trying for killer abs when I believe all we really want is to be treated well. If your mean, a washboard stomach doesn't matter to anyone. And if you are nice and treat people well, than your love handles or muffin-top will take a back seat to your character for sure!
Hoping you are loved and treated well.
Happy New Year!
