What do you do, when you disagree?
Set a goal or intention.
Do I want to argue about this?
Do I want to keep the peace?
Do I want to have a healthy discussion?
Do I want to see another point of view?
Do I want to stand up and make my point?
Do I want to make them wrong?
Do I want to just have my say?
Would I rather be right or be happy?
Most personalities (egos) simply want to win and be right at all costs.
Most conscious beings want more peace and understanding.
Most young souls will fight to the death to prove their “rightness”.
Most old souls choose to let the petty stuff go and they know most things are petty.
Where do you stand?
Who do you fight with?
Who do you want to make feel small, stupid or simply win your way?
When do you need to stand up for yourself?
These questions invite us to look at the way we relate to the news, authority figures and family.
In every disagreement there is a higher view where there is agreement.
When we are stuck in judgment, opinion, prejudice, needing to win, we cannot see the High Way.
When we take a look at how the other may perceive their circumstance, we can let go.
Some possible guidelines for disagreement:
It is up to the most conscious and willing party to let it be.
When we express the higher truth, ie.”I just want peace.” Or “we both have a right to see it differently”, we can agree to disagree without guilt or blame.
I express my view once and then drop my position to truly hear and respect yours.
I ask myself how important is it that I tell my truth, my belief and my opinion.
Will my disagreeing make a positive difference or cause negative reactivity?
Make a conscious choice before you disagree with anyone or choose to start a fight.
Loving you and me as we choose to make peace in our world,
