Likeable people genuinely ask for nothing. They sit
with you, share over a cup of coffee, and engage in a conversation. They make
eye contact. They smile. They truly don’t want anything but being with you. The
likeable individual places you in the moment.
Author Toni Morrison shared with Oprah Winfrey many
years ago in an interview, that one of the most important aspects that we have
in our possession is the art of being present with anyone. If someone walks
into the room, give that person your attention.
Likeable people have this ability to put
whomever is around them first and foremost for attention. They want to help and
will offer assistance with wholehearted presence.
A likeable person wants to help you, but not
for their benefit.
They want to make sure they can be of service
to you because they have endured their shares of struggles.
