What's Important to Someone Else Should be as Important to You, As That Person is to You
How Do You Measure Importance?
Are you in a relationship? If yes - then way to go! If not, do you have friends and family? Coworkers? Do they ever ask you to do things that you don't want to? Do they like things that you don't? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you're in great company. About 6.79 billion people also will answer yes (or approximately thereabouts).
And I will tell you a secret. Although 6.79 billion people answered yes, they also say that it bothers them - because they feel what's important to them should be important to you. Well, at least the really important stuff. But, how do you measure importance?
The Secret Sauce of Importance
Well, if you have any desire to maintain these relationships - or better yet - to improve them, then you need to take on a new attitude, or perhaps a new philosophical mental attitude is a better way to put it.
You need to tell yourself and then live by the philosophy that: "What's important to someone else should be as important you, as that person is to you." If you do, I promise that you will be liked more, have more influence, and in turn - increase your happiness (as well as that of many many others).
