Being nice to people isn’t a personality trait…it’s a choice. We don’t always feel like being nice, but it’s always worth the effort. It communicates our respect for the people around us and it ultimately brings joy to ourselves, encouragement to others and glory to our Creator.

One thing I have learned in life and ministry is that it’s not about the tasks; it’s about the people. The better we are at interacting with people, the better we’ll be at our work and most every other part of our lives. I definitely don’t claim to have all the answers when it comes to people skills, but here are a few simple principles I’ve learned along the way that help in all of your relationships and interactions.

1. Smile.
