Being in a family, you are bound to disagree, argue, even fight. Got conflict?
Now you must be honest. We all disagree at some point in our lives. It could be with a spouse, a boss, a pastor, a mother, a father, a classmate, a customer rep, a stranger, a waitress….

It’s never-ending!
As I was enjoying our family Thanksgiving, the conversation began to shift to topics that evoked emotional responses which rocked the passion within.
Understand, we are a family that discusses all sorts of subjects. Some like to get a rival out of the other.
But when you look at conflict as a story, you quiet the emotional passion allowing you to better understand the point of view from your loved one.
Conflict as a story removes the emotion. It’s like a storyline in a book. You have no emotional attachment or investment.
The story opens up the door to see their side without being swallowed up by the heart-pounding, blood pressure rising, shouting match.
Got conflict?
As the day progressed, our discussions became more challenging. Simple inquires of ‘how is work’, to politics, religion, and the NFL.
Each of us had an opinion, but we didn’t let our emotions take over the story of what really mattered. And that is listening to the heart.
Everyone wants to be heard; wants to know that their thoughts and ideas matter. There is a hierarchy of importance. (You rank higher than your spouse’s boss.)
Got conflict?
