Instead of trying to manipulate people, I challenge you...

...to inspire those around you instead! 

Here are some thoughts to help you motivate others to buy into your ideas:
 
𝟭. 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆. 

You do NOT need to make up situations and lie to communicate persuasively. By being authentic and real with people, you’re putting yourself in a position to make a genuine connection with someone. 

𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲.” 

Blaming others is rarely seen as a desirable leadership trait. Most people detest hearing someone blame someone else for their shortfalls. Instead, take responsibility for your actions. 

𝟯. 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲

Unfortunately, many people in the world try to be sneaky about finding ways to get people to do what they want. Instead of inspiring people through their stories, they try to find passive-aggressive ways to manipulate others. This type of behavior does not build trust, is not right, and does not inspire anyone to act.

I challenge you to work hard to remove every manipulative tendency that you might have. 

Instead of relying on manipulation, focus on inspiration! 

People want to be uplifted and inspired; they don’t want to be used!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
