The secret to making people like you is much easier than you think. Deep down we all have a desire to be loved and appreciated by others. It’s like oxygen for our soul.

However, in order for those feelings to be reciprocated, you need to appear likeable. We all know that first impressions are everything. It only takes a few seconds for someone to determine whether or not they like you.

There is no trick or manipulation technique to making other people like you. Rather, it’s a way of being, which will allow people to naturally gravitate towards you, with no strings attached.

The reality is that the more people that like you, the greater the likelihood that you will attract better relationships and opportunities into your life. Imagine how much your life would change if this happened?

Being likeable is under your control, and it comes down to emotional intelligence (EQ).

The holy grail of making people like you comes down to one core trait – care more. When you show genuine compassion and love for other human beings, you have the ability to make a positive difference in the world. This is the secret to making people like you.

In order to care more, it requires that you raise your level of consciousness, shifting from egocentric, to ethnocentric, to world-centric.

Unfortunately we live in a world where a lot of people possess an egocentric level of consciousness, meaning that they only focus on themselves and their needs.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when you meet someone and all they do is talk about their life. They have no sense of self-awareness of how their communication is impacting you.

Do you know how many people come to me every day and complain about how they are not making enough money in their business. At the end of the day it’s all about them. They are so selfish and focused on themselves.

My question to them would be, “What value are you providing that makes you worthy and deserving of making money?”

The belief system that I have is more spiritual in nature. I believe that all human beings are one; we are all part of the same humanity. Adopting this mindset is what will allow you to care more, and when you care more, you shift the way that you communicate with others.

In his book, How To Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie shares that there are 6 ways to have someone like you:

Rule #1 – Become genuinely interested in other people

Rule #2 – Smile.

Rule #3 – Remember that a person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound.

Rule #4 – Be a good listener.

Rule #5 – Talk in terms of the other person’s interests.

Rule #6 – Make the other person feel important.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to caring more about other people. This is the secret to making people like you. The most respected people in this world are the ones that are living at the highest level of consciousness. This is the definition of a true leader.

Step up, expand your consciousness, and care more. It is the most attractive quality that will naturally draw people to you.

The fact of the matter is that we are all human, and because of this, we are all one. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “Our human compassion binds us to one another – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.”

I want to talk to you about how to step up in moments of crisis and adversity. There are a lot of challenges occurring in the world right now.

The devastation that Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey have inflicted upon the people of the Caribbean, Florida and Texas is heartbreaking. Hurricane Maria has people in Puerto Rico currently in desperate need. My prayers are with all of the families who have lost their homes and loved ones.

Whether we are directly affected by these challenges or not, I think that a lot of people become passive to them. They don’t reflect upon how they can make a difference to help improve situations of crisis and adversity.

We are all global citizens; it is our responsibility to play a role in the betterment of the world at large. In doing so, we are helping to secure a better future for all of us.

In the words of Albert Einstein, “Adversity introduces a man to himself.” Are you ready to learn how to step up in moments of crisis and adversity?

It’s easy to get caught up in our own daily lives, but I believe that we all need to step up and become leaders, whether that means leading your team, community, family, or friends.

Be someone that steps in moments of crisis and adversity. Focus on cultivating the habit of being active rather than passive to active in all areas of your life. That is what true leadership is. Are you living an active or a passive life?

True leaders raise their consciousness. Instead of focusing solely on their own needs, they are more ethnocentric, world-centric, or spirit-centric. They have the ability to step outside of themselves and care about people and humanity, on a global scale.

I believe that within all of us lies the potential to give and contribute beyond ourselves. This is my mission in life, and what I commit to doing every day, both in my personal and professional life. Do you want to know how to step up in moments of crisis and adversity? Here are four ways:

1. Give Money

Giving money is one of the most valuable resources that you can offer to people during times of crisis and adversity. This is something that I always strive to do.

Sometimes when we talk about giving money, resistance can come up. You may say, “Stefan, I don’t have money to give.” If you feel that you’ve got nothing to give, that’s the moment at which you should give. Why?

Because it trains your mind to move from a place of scarcity to one of abundance. There will always be people in this world that are worse off than you.

It’s not about the amount that you give. Rather, it’s about cultivating the habit of giving. When you are able to step outside of yourself and give to others in need, it allows your problems to dissipate.

The Tony Robbins Foundation has a program called, “The International Basket Brigade”, built on the notion that one small act of generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives of hundreds.

Throughout the year he puts together baskets of foods for over two million people who are in need, and delivers them to countries all over the world.

There was a time in my life when I was in a lot of debt and lived with a scarcity mindset. I remember being so inspired by Tony Robbins’ Foundation that I went to a store, filled two baskets worth of food for families in need, and delivered it to their homes.

In each basket, I wrote a note, which said, “This is from someone that cares about you. All that I ask is that you take good care of yourself so that one day you can do the same thing for someone else in need.” 

Despite the challenges that I was facing during that time in my life, this simple act of service freed me in so many different ways.

2. Give Time

If you can’t invest money, give your time, through acts of service, like volunteering at a homeless shelter or food bank in the city in which you live.

Not only are these experiences rewarding, but it’s also a great way to connect with others.

There are leaders in this world that step up and actually go to countries that are in need of help. They aren’t doing it for recognition. Rather, they are just doing it because it’s the right thing to do.

I’m going to Ethiopia next month to volunteer for a school that I helped fund and build. It is a powerful experience that allows me to get even closer to helping people.

3. Give Blood

Blood is a very important resource and something that people in dire circumstances need in order to survive. Not only that, but it’s actually good for you.

While women have their periods every month which allows them to cleanse their blood, men do not go through this process, which is why giving blood is great! It allows your body to create new red blood cells.

Go into your local blood bank, give blood, and change someone’s life for the better.

4. Send Positive, Loving Energy

Regardless of what your spiritual beliefs are, if you cannot give your money or time, send love, positive energy, thoughts, and prayers to those who need it most. I believe that love is the most powerful force in the Universe.

These are some examples of how to step up in moments of crisis and adversity. Don’t be passive. There is always something that you can do.

I hope I have inspired you to give more and become a leader in this world. There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”

I would like to share with you how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness. By definition, consciousness is the state or quality of awareness. It is what allows us to experience and react to the world.

For decades, philosophers and scientists have been trying to solve the mind-body problem of consciousness. Conscious awareness is one of the most puzzling facets of the human brain.In the words of David Chalmer, “Our consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our existence, but at the same time it’s the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe.” 

As human beings, we have the power to expand our consciousness. This means opening ourselves to new possibilities, reconnecting with our inner selves, and freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs that have been holding us back from happiness and fulfillment.

Each of us moves through our own personal path to increased spiritual growth. Are you ready to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness? This is the first step towards a brighter and more abundant life.

Rasheed Ogunlaru once said, “It’s not the world that needs to change – it’s our consciousness we must raise.” In order to understand how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you need to have an awareness of what the 4 levels of consciousness are:

1. Egocentric

The identity at the egocentric level is purely focused on the Self. When we are born, we are dependent on another human being for survival. Because of this, this identity does not notice other peoples’ needs. At this level, growth requires acknowledging oneself in relation to others. If one doesn’t make the next step, the result is a feeling of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.

2. Ethnocentric

At this level, the identity expands to a feeling of empathy and connection with others close to them. Although this identity is more selfless in its nature, care for others doesn’t expand beyond family and friends.

3. World-centric

At this level of consciousness, the identity cares about humanity at large, holding the belief that we are all the same. These types of people give back, because they are passionate about serving. These are the Mother Teresa’s and Nelson Mandela’s of the world. They know that if they want to evolve and grow, they have to grow and give to others.

4. Spirit-centric

This level of consciousness moves beyond about mere humanity and experiences a sense of responsibility and empathy for all living things.

Do you want to know how you can expand your consciousness? Care more. That is why I love business. It is a spiritual practice. To truly succeed in business, you need to raise your consciousness. You need to put others’ needs above your own.

When you care about something greater than yourself, you expand who you are, because it’s not about YOU anymore, Rather, it’s about serving the greater good.

For example, I have to take care of my mind and body, because I need to take into account my higher purpose, which is life mastery. I want to be a role model for others, so I need to be in alignment with my world-centric level of consciousness.

My greatest quality that has allowed me to achieve so much success in my life is my desire to care for and give to others. I wake up every day and ask myself, “How can I serve others and make a positive impact in the world?” In the words of Gary Zukav, “Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing. It requires the heart, not the intellect.” Drop our of your head and into your heart. Reconnect with your inner self and be open to life’s possibilities.

I challenge you to observe where your consciousness feels blocked or limited. The beauty of life is that, as human beings, we have the power to let go of disempowering beliefs at any moment, and replace them with more empowering ones. When you grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you raise your vibration, thereby awakening to a new, more fulfilled sense of reality.
