I am
not talking sign language so let me explain. If you learn to read this code on
each person you meet, you will experience tremendous growth and increase in the
quality of your life. What is MMFI? It is the abbreviation for “Make Me Feel Important.”
I
have some friends who own an insurance business. I love going to their office
because they always MMFI. They have perfected the art of celebrating people. No
matter how busy they are when you walk into their office, they make you feel
like a celebrity.
The
quality of life is often dependent upon the quality of our relationships. If
you want to have a great life, learn to treat people well. Sometimes people are
logical but hundred percent of the time, people are emotional. People buy into
you emotionally first. That is why it is of great importance to make people
feel important everywhere you go. Not because you want something from them but
because you sincerely value the person you are with.
Our Lord
Jesus was a master at this. He took time to make people feel important. Even a
lowly sinner by the well left Jesus feeling better about herself and having her
life turned around. You have heard it before but it is worth repeating. People do not care how much you know until
they know how much you care.
When you
make people feel important by listening to them a little longer than you like,
letting them get in/out of the door first or allowing the car in the traffic to
squeeze in front of you, you are unlocking the potential in others. In effect
you are saying, “I value and appreciate
you. You are special to me.”
Today
I challenge you to go about your day making people feel important. When you
treat others with love, respect and honor, God will return the same favor to
you!
Remember,
people are thinking, “Make Me Feel
Important!”
