Ever had a good day? A bad one? One somewhere in the middle? I\u2019ll wager that regardless of your definition of your day that your answer has more to do with how you chose to define or interpret what was happening during your day rather than what was happening? Let me explain \u2013 every day you wake up the process is the same, some good stuff, some bad stuff, some great stuff, some terrible stuff, and some routine stuff. Folks . . . it\u2019s all stuff and you were fortunate to have it unless you would prefer the other option \u2013 no stuff. And why \u2013 because you didn\u2019t wake up that day. You are reading this \u2013 it\u2019s a good day. You have two options each day \u2013 let your day and its circumstances determine how you define your day or you define your day regardless of the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>The aim of an argument should be progress, not victory.<\/strong><\/span>\u201d Joseph Joubert. If you have never had an argument or disagreement with anyone you are more than likely an Alien that recently landed on Earth. Disagreements are normal in all relationships sooner or later or often depending on the quality of the relationship. What is an argument anyway? Simple \u2013 when you disagree with someone on any topic and attempt to prove they are wrong and you are right and they try to prove that they are right and you are wrong. There is another way to define an argument or disagreement and potentially even disarm it in advance. How &#8211; see differences in opinion as a trigger to reevaluate your position on any topic or to learn that there might be another unique, not wrong, way to see the topic or to understand it. I recall many years ago having a conversation with a good friend when he asked me \u2013 \u201cTim, what\u2019s your opinion on reincarnation?\u201d My answer at the time was, \u201cI don\u2019t believe in that hocus pocus.\u201d His response, \u201ctell me what you know about it.\u201d Me \u2013 \u201cI don\u2019t know much I just know I don\u2019t believe in it.\u201d He answers, \u201cHow can you have such a strong opinion about something you don\u2019t know anything about?\u201d WOW \u2013 you got me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">M<strong>en build too many walls and not enough bridges.<\/strong><\/span>\u201d Sir Isaac Newton. As we begin a new year why not look back over the months or years at relationships that for some reason have ended or declined in some way for some reason. People come and go in our lives; friends, customers, fellow employees even family but as we head towards a new chapter a simple question \u2013 have you done all you could with your current or past relationships to keep them open, engaging, respectful, supportive and\/or even fun? Relationships are not easy even during peaceful times and they are harder in an environment like we all have experienced the past couple of years. So, let\u2019s not focus on the past and think more about the future and what we can do, are willing to do, etc. to grow, build or create new, positive and lasting relationships. This is a topic I have no right to preach on as I have been guilty often of not doing enough to do my part in many relationships and for that, I must live with the regret of loss. But, why continue in the months and years ahead with the same outcomes if you have been even a little guilty of failing to do your part. None of us will ever agree on everything. None of us know everything about the people in our lives. But what we do know is what they want us to know and what they know about us is what we are willing to share with them. Let\u2019s all do our part this year to heal, share and grow our current and future relationships with compassion, understanding, interest, support, and kindness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe road uphill and the road downhill are both the same.\u201d Heraclitus.
