SINGLE POST

Disagreement doesn't mean dis-approval!

I'm learning to value relationships more in my life, despite the fact that some relationships are more dis-agreeable than others! I have to ask myself why do I disagree? What thought process (history of events) am I drawing from that brings me to a place of irritation? We all have a history to draw from and that history develops current perception. If we are not a moving forward in shaping our perception by the Word then we limit our effectiveness with people. For instance, if I'm in a conversation with someone and I dis-agree strongly, my natural reaction is to state my defense emphatically, while hoping to make enough of an impact that I will change the other person's mind. But have I really changed their mind or made things worse? Finding myself no closer, but actually further away, from the victory I was after. Always having to "be right" in relational conversations will keep me from the expansion mindset that I need to embrace. Pride is the killer, it makes you think you need to be right all the time, get your way all the time and make sure everyone knows they are wrong! I need to ask myself the question though; "How has that worked for me so far and why do I do it?" If I'm honest with myself in this self-sacrificing examination, I'll find that it's simply selfish and I need to temper my thought process, thereby changing my outcome. As a result, I'll grow as an individual, gain respect with others and find my perspective changing. One of the biggest things though is that I'll increase my influence and effectiveness with others, which as a leader is paramount! If I'm a leader and turn around finding no one with me, then I'm just on a lonely walk.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
