Can anyone doubt there has been a precipitous decline in respectfulness in our post-modern culture? There is no specific group to blame; we all need to own up to our contribution to that problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to bring about sweeping cultural change. But each of us occupies a significant place in our own small worlds where change is easier to effect, if we ourselves would rediscover and redevelop the trait of respect. How about it? Want to make a habit of giving people one thing they long for and at the same time change the atmosphere of all your relationships? I can show you how.

Situations requiring respect happen every day. There are so many ways we can trample on someone's rights or property or self-image by not being careful to recognize the value of their ideas, their time, their needs or experience. And yes, folks who are older than you deserve respect just because they are older than you.
You may wonder how to show respect in so many unpredictable situations and encounters. It's actually not that complicated. Just think about when and how you might feel disrespected, and don't do that to others. Do you want someone scrolling on their phone when you are trying to talk to them? See how easy it is to know what respect looks like.
Of course the trick is being respectful because you really do respect people? That's when you really have that character trait. I can help that develop in you.
The world around you is looking for, hoping for, hungry for people who are respectful. People are tired of the rancor and disrespect in the way people relate to each other these days. A respectful person stands out in the crowd, pulls people together, creates friends, dials down animosity and sarcasm, and makes peace. Guess what?
There's no magic bullet that transforms you overnight. But there is a path, a path of insight, discovery, steps and practice. I take you on that path in this module. Check out the path and what you get below.
