So many people give way too much time to people who don’t treat them well because they were never lucky enough to spend time with people who do treat them well.

Meaning that when you treat people well, you elevate their standards, awakening them to the fact that certain people in their life may not be treating them so well . . .

And so, when you put kindness and high-standards out into the world, you are initiating this microcosmic domino effect in which people slowly start to elevate their own standards—in turn elevating the standards of others, in turn making the world a better place.
