Conflict: The Boldness Challenge of the Day

I hate dealing with conflict!   I hate dealing with conflict!

Can't be avoided.  Must do it anyway.

So what's the worst that can happen when I proceed? 

*lose connection with the person

*lose the good stuff that that person brings

*disappoint someone

*not be liked

*ruffle feathers

*be wrong and not realize it (the persistently needling worry)

Note:  all those things can happen anyway and loss of connection will finally be more likely if I hide out and don't speak up.

 

What's the best that can happen when I do speak up?

*a chance of keeping the relationship

*gain respect from myself and others

*get more of what I want

*a happy compromise

 

Okay, this was helpful.  Thank you.
