“I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder to each other than we are. How much the world needs it! How easily it is done!” -- Henry Drummond
Consider:
If you want to see the world and those around you change, then it starts with you—with your belief that others are more than they appear to be. You can draw out the good in those around you, appreciate individuals for who they are, acknowledge their gifts and talents and humbly be a conduit of love and appreciation to others.
Start by thinking of the positive ways that someone has helped you and the good that a person has done. Appreciate them in your thoughts. You will have a change in how you view others, because you will have taken the time to go deeper, past the surface assumptions that are so easy to make and past your history with them.
Go slower in your interactions with people. It takes time to see people in a new light. It takes a slowdown of the hasty assumptions that are a result of mental ruts and thought patterns that require a change in perspective. Be willing to see who the person is today, or the potential of what they can be tomorrow, and don't let your view be marred by your past experiences.
