All
conflict can be traced back to someone’s feelings getting hurt, don’t you
think? - Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies
Knowing
when to fight is just as important as knowing how. - Terry Goodkind, Faith of
the Fallen
Conflict
is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they
are. - Stephen Moyer

state or action (as of divergent ideas, interests, or persons) a conflict

Throughout life, we deal with conflict. It can be a simple issue such as a difference
of opinion on what color pillows to put on a couch or much more in-depth
issues. Conflict no matter the issue can
be a hindrance in accomplishing dreams and goals. In Notorious RBG : the life and times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and in article by about Justice Ginsburg, she states conflict is
counterproductive. She quoted Eleanor
Roosevelt: “Anger, resentment, envy. These are emotions that just sap your
energy. They’re not productive and don’t get you anyplace, so get over it.”
Peace
is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful
means. - Ronald Reagan
CHALLENGE: What

you going to handle it?
