Law of Attraction and Relationships
Relationships are one of the most significant aspects of your physical experience. Every person you encounter, no matter how brief, helps you to define your personal preferences and contributes to your expansion. You could not be who you are without interaction with others.

Even more important than your relationship with others is the relationship between you and your Source/Soul/God from which you have come. If you tend to this primary relationship first, then all your other relationships - not only with people, but also with your body, money, the government - will fall easily into alignment. Others are your co-creators and your experiences with them is the basis of the expansion you achieve. They contribute to your greatest joys and your greatest sorrows. Through these contrasting experiences you identify what you do and do not want in your life. There are a variety of choices available, not only regarding lifestyles, but also regarding attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, personality characteristics, moods, emotional responses, reactions to situations... you have an abundance of options to choose from as you expand on who you are.
The Universe is based upon freedom. Freedom for everyone to choose what they give their attention to, and therefore what they choose to experience. And your interaction with one another provides a contrasting basis that assures continual expansion.
~Abraham - Getting Into The Vortex
In the same way that you can choose the things you want to experience, you can also choose the characteristics of the people you interact with as well. When you practice looking for and finding characteristics that appeal to you, and focusing your attention on those aspects, you will attract better experiences to yourself from others.
Your attention to the positive aspects of others feels good to you because it causes you to find alignment with your Inner Being, but it also causes you to find alignment with their Inner Being - with who-they-really-are.
~Abraham - Getting Into The Vortex
On the other hand, when you allow yourself to give attention to the bad-feeling aspects of another person, this will become the dominant vibrational basis of your relationship. When you focus on the negative aspects, it only perpetuates more negative. When others are angry at you, in action or with words, understand that their battle is with themselves, not with you. They are simply disconnected from their source, and if you do not take their behavior personally, over time they'll leave you out of it. Every person is responsible for their own happiness. If you are constantly trying to please others, and encourage them to believe their happiness depends on your behavior, you will become weary of attempting the impossible and eventually lose your own sense of freedom.
It does not work out for the one who is attempting to do the pleasing, because there are too many people who want different things from you, and keeping up with the ever-changing ideas of what another believes is appropriate behavior is no small task. And it also does not work out for the one who wants to be pleased, because if you are able to get some others to modify their behavior to please you, then you are continuously needing control of others, or cooperation from others, to be pleased. An impossible and futile endeavor.
