From someone who knew the art of conflict - William James
“Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”
Conflict is a natural part of any relationship. For it is unlikely that two people, no matter how much they enjoy each others company, will always agree. But the way in which conflict is managed is a choice. You can choose to be disrespectful, mean and petty. But you must understand that in doing so, you risk doing irreversible damage to the relationship. In some cases that wont matter, because there was no interest in salvaging the relationship beyond the point of conflict. In other instances, it will sadden you greatly and regret will weigh upon you heavily as you realize you ruined a great relationship with a terrible attitude.
Have a conscious day!
