Conflict in your life or relationship (spouse, sibling, parent, employer, customer, etc) ? If choose to ignore, is there any MINIMUM results you can receive from this ? Are you aware of the worst that can happen ?


Conflict is something that can not simply be ignored. A particular conflict or situation may seemingly fizzle out in time, however, if not addressed, the underlying emotions and attitudes, not only can remain, but can HIGHLY GROW, between the two parties involved. Not only grow, but actually return like a poison, causing often, a much more intense problem !

When you choose to let conflict continue or get larger, a person can face enormous consequences. You will find yourself involved in constantly putting out MORE FIRES, adding to bitterness rather than moving on with your life in a more prosperous way.

Conflict can arise over the slightest thing and can escalate into a major confrontation between several factions.

REMEMBER: Viewpoints can be like night and day. How one acts is defined by how one thinks. And how one thinks is defined by one’s attitudes and assumptions, No two people are alike. Each one of us brings our very own "worldview" with us wherever we go.

100 factors can be involved, such as:
Our childhood experiences
Our economic situation
Our family life or home life
Our current health situation
Our overall health
Our education
Our hobbies and interests
Our entertainment choices
Our friends and relatives and other relationships
Our background in similar situations
Our self-esteem
Our assumptions of the other person (or people) involved
Our concept of ourselves


When conflict arises, it truly needs to be dealt with fairly immediate.


NOTE, conflict affects self-esteem. Whether it’s yours or the other party (ies) involved ! The worst in my mind, is that it truly can actually lead to health problems in a person. It can cause a person to be less productive (because they often stay focused on the conflict).  Oh, maybe it's not affecting you, but only the other person, huh ? Think out of the box.  This could utlimately and eventually affect your POCKET BOOK !  (If you are not willing to compromise (or your partner), and this is a marriage conflict, GET OUT !  Yes, I am point blank !  People never change - whether it's you or them - the choice is COMPROMISE; and if you are one who won't with a partner who won't - GET OUT NOW !  I personally don't believe in lingering relationships that are not working !  It can lead to folks running around, and yes, BAD HEALTH !).

NOTE: Folks not actually part of the conflict, are more effected than you possibly realize, whether it’s your children, other family members, co-workers, etc.

NOTE: Conflict does not provide a conducive environment for anyone to live in effectively.
 


"The law, for all its failings, has a noble goal -- to make the little bit of life that people can actually control more just. We can't end disease or natural disasters, but we can devise rules for our dealings with one another that fairly weigh the rights and needs of everyone, and which, therefore, reflect our best vision of ourselves."
Scott Turow, Author and Lawyer 
 

To begin analyzing the conflict, ask yourself these questions:
How might I be affected by the conflict or its outcome?
At the time of the conflict, what was actually suppose to be taking place (resolution over something; or maybe it was just a normal basic conversation ?)?
What are the main points of each side of the conflict?





You may need a mediator (coach) ! 
REMEMBER:  Both points of view can truly be different.
