1. Everyone deservers respect, period.

Colleagues,

Our annual summer tradition is to share the most important things I’ve learned from other people throughout the month of July. This summer we have 20 lessons. You will receive one a day until we are done. If you feel particularly moved and want to share a reaction, please reply! ​

MVP: Everyone deserves respect, period
This is such a powerful belief for two reasons. First, it frees you of trying to judge people, which is a quite taxing and useless exercise that most of us engage in far too often. Respect people because they are people and don’t worry about trying to decide whether or not they deserve it – they are human beings, so the do.
 
Intention: Monitor how often you judge people.

Cheers!

Frederick
