Can you think of someone in your life right now who drives you nuts? Or someone who just irritates you? Maybe it's a family member who constantly pushes buttons inside of you or you react out of proportion to what they're doing? Well, we all have people like that in our lives, don't we? I want you to think about those people right now. And then think about how you treat them.

The kind of things you think the kind of things you say the kind of things you do on an ongoing basis, whether it's intentional or unintentional. And as you think about them, how much of the time is spent when you're really together, there's no unresolved conflict. You're not hurting one another's feelings, you're living in harmony. And how much of the time is not like that? Well, that's what I want to address in this session is we talked about dealing with stress, the use stressful way by having the right perspective, in this case toward people. And the key phrase here is building up the way we deal with people as we're constantly trying to build them up.

George Bernard Shaw said it this way, setting the right key. You can say anything in the wrong key, nothing. The delicate part of life is the establishment of the key. And the right key is when there's unity where there's harmony when we're helping one another where we're growing together, where we're living as a effective team, whether it be in our personal lives or our professional lives. But that's a hard thing to do because so often we get out of sync because We have insulted one another or we felt hurt by something someone has said or not said, or we hear someone who sets up behind our backs. And that offends us.

There are all sorts of reasons why we don't live with this sense of harmony. But I want to talk about how we can do that by focusing on building up people developing them. Now, by the way, the the old view for that, for this particular concept is the word edify an old English word from which we get edifice. So when you build a building, you're building an edifice. So when you think about how you ought to deal with people, it ought to be to build them up into a beautiful building into a beautiful edifice. You're helping them to grow into develop into unleash their masterpiece to become all that they can be.

That's really one of the major reasons I believe we're all put here on this earth, to build up and develop other people. And I want you to be able to do that yourself and help build and sustain the right key and then develop that. So in this session, here's what we're going to do. We're going to talk about how to build people up by focusing on what we think our thoughts. And then we're going to talk about how we build people up through our words, what we say what we speak. And then we're going to work on how we build people up through our actions, our attitude, our heart, our actions toward them, and then just routine random acts of kindness, but actions that will build people up and not tear people down.

That's how we build and live out our right view toward people. So what I want you to do is stop now, and I want you to think of someone where the relationship is out of kilter. It's not quite right. Maybe you said something you shouldn't have said and you need to apologize. Maybe you're at loggerheads and you're undercutting one another. Maybe someone just offends you by their personality or their style.

It could be any number of things. Maybe it's something you did maybe if something someone else did, but think of someone who's out of kilter. And then I want you to meditate on journal on this, interact in our Facebook group on this. Specifically, what kinds of thoughts are you having about that person? Are they thoughts that build them up or tear him down? What kind of words are you communicating?

And what kind of actions are you involved in with that person? Allah gives you a good sense of where you are. So I want you to chew on that I want you to meditate on that your real action step is to even journal on it some and get into the Facebook group and start sharing what you're learning what you feel like you're doing well, what you feel like you're not doing well. Again, be transparent. That'll help us help one another grow and develop. So I look forward to being on this journey.

We'll have three more sessions in this particular module, dealing with our thoughts Our words and our actions. Let's go
