When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. ~ William Arthur Ward ~ [Source]

There are times that you feel that your partner is plain irritating because they don’t listen to you, always put you down or criticise everything from your ideas to dreams harshly. You wish that the two of you could see each other’s point of view without feeling that you are an idiot.

There are times when we see only the negative things from time to time. The important aspect is not to focus on them. When that happens, you let it pass and think about something positive about the person, no matter how small it is. Do it each time and you will find it easier. It’s like a habit.

See the person in the positive person in your mind as much as you like. It will help the both of you when both of you are seen in positive light. Whatever is going on in your mind is like a mirror in the world. Relationships can be enhanced by bringing out the best in people.

There are times when we feel indignant and start to call each other names and withdraw from each other. Stop. Take some time to cool off and resolve the issue when the both of you are feeling less angry.

Find something positive and ask for the specifics. Either the person will give up or get to the bottom of the issue. An extreme method is the avoid negative people. But if it’s your spouse? You can’t avoid. So, you manage your negative thoughts and behaviour.

By bringing out the best in others, you help yourself too. Do you more tips to bring out the positives?
