This one can trip a person up if they are focused on getting what they want verses having an open mind to listen, and being willing to let go of your agenda in order for all involved to benefit.
In the heat of a moment when emotions are running high , the wise person will step back and listen without any aggression. Listen with the intent to understand the other person.
When the anger has declined you can respond with compassion, and seek to find a way to be helpful rather than adding to the problem.
Remember that force is an energy that can only produce counter force and resistance. Your goal is to get results that support everyone. Showing genuine concern, and compassion allows room for the angered person to drop their defenses and become open to listen to solutions.
Today I Choose Life by being aware that at any given moment I can be the change in someone else's life that is needed for moving things forward in a more positive and productive way.
