Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - October 9th


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

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, conflict is:

a : competitive or opposing action of incompatibles : antagonistic state or action (as of divergent ideas, interests, or persons) a conflict of principles

b : mental struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or external or internal demands His conscience was in conflict with his duty.

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 conflict is there in your life?  How are you going to handle it?
