Three Key Points:
Many of us try to avoid conflict in our lives. It makes us feel uneasy, We are afraid that it will cause problems for us or result in loss of friendships, jobs, and opportunities. We mostly are afraid because we don’t know how to deal with the conflict.
Conflict can be very helpful for you. The experience of conflict gives you insight into opportunities for you to grow and expand. They are opportunities for you to see the places in your life where you can become more aligned with who you are and how you want to show up in the world.
We all have conflict on the inside of us just like we experience it on the outside. This internal conflict can be much harder to resolve than the outside conflict. Much of the internal conflict comes from the need to be right.
