Looking for the best in people

"The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression" - J. Allen Boone

Sounds great in theory but it can be pretty challenging, when angry, irritated or hurt by someone, to focus on their good points.

Still, when you succeed, it really does help shift things.

Whether it's someone at home, at work or even an acquaintance, before hurtling down that "Aghhh, and another thing...!" spiral, think about the things they're good at, kind things they've done, times they've made you laugh or helped you out...
