Stop Avoiding Conflict

Anytime we open up social media we're inundated with all types of conflict.

We see the worst of the worst when it comes to our society...

...and because we're exposed to this conflict all the time...

Most people begin to perceive conflict as this horrible thing which should be avoided at all costs...

But that isn't the truth.

You have to understand that conflict is much different in the real world.

Conflict can actually be a very good and healthy thing…

But only if you address conflict with a productive perspective.

The best solutions don't come when things are going great...

The best solutions come when things are fucked up...

...and as long as you're honest with people and treat them with respect...

There is always a solution that can come about where both parties feel heard and valued.

Change your perspective on how you look at conflict.

Conflict can have a lot of healthy outcomes...

But only if you approach them with the GOAL of creating a healthy outcome.

If you can't find the courage to have these difficult conversations and work through them...

Including the conversations you have with yourself...

You don't have what it takes to win.

The longer you avoid conflict...

The longer you keep yourself from the productive conversations that will help you grow.
