When You're Ready To Make A Change
Compromise is important in any relationship
Have you ever been at opposite ends of an issue with someone?
Whether it’s in a work relationship, family, or friends – most of us have found ourselves miles apart on how something should be done. How did you resolve that issue?
There a few different ways to get things done.
• You can take a stand and insist your way is how it will be
• You can concede your stance and let the other person’s way be done
• You can continue to be in conflict and nothing ever gets done
• You can find an agreeable compromise
There are times when you need to take a stand. What’s that song? “If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.”
There are times when you need to let others take the lead.
There is never a time to continue in conflict so that nothing gets done.
But my favorite option here is the compromise.
Most times, if you calmly discuss things, weigh the pros and cons, and explore the options, an agreeable compromise can be found.
How can you reach a compromise?
• First, you’ve got to be willing to explore the options
• You’ve got to ask yourself, is this battle worth the possibility of losing the relationship with this person?
• Keep your temper, angry words once spoken can never truly be taken back (even if you say you’re sorry)
• Perhaps bring in an uninvolved third party mediator
• Remember, compromise is give and take, from both sides
Is there an issue you need to resolve? Avoidance won’t make it go away. Calmly face it, and choose whether you need to make a stand, concede your stance, or reach a compromise. You can do it.
Have a fantastic weekend!

May I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone who really knows what they are discussing on the net. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of the story.
I was surprised that you’re not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
Hey Vance,
Feel free to share the link with your social media network.

Pam
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog?

First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that
I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you
center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Thanks!
Hey Mellisa,
I struggle when I sit down and try to write. I do best when something strikes me and I stop what I’m doing and write about it, or at least write myself a note about the thought, so I can remember it and then write about it later.

Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback wold be greatly appreciated.
Hi Katja,
There aren’t actually any “pictures” in the blog. There is a video link and a web page link. Perhaps the video is slow to load.
Pam
Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover someone that really knows what they are discussing on the internet. You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More people need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
Awh, thanks for the positive feedback.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about stress relief.

Thanks, Michel.
Encouragement is always welcome. Grin
What’s up, I log on to your blog regularly. Your humoristic style is awesome, keep it up!
Glad you like it, grin.
I think that everything wrote was very logical. But, think about this,
suppose you added a little information? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid. However suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean “Compromise is important in any relationship-NewDirectionLCNewDirection Life Coaching” is kinda vanilla.
You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how
they create post headlines to grab people interested.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
Hi Alanna,
You’re right. I don’t have the most “catchy” titles. I guess I need to work on that.
Thanks for the feedback.
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything. But think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Excellent blog!
Thanks for the feedback. Truth is, it just doesn’t cross my mind. I do include pics and videos occasionally. Perhaps I should try to do it more often.
Have a great weekend!
You should be a part of a contest for starters of the best blogs on the
internet. I will strongly recommend this website!
Hey Wilton,
Thanks for the encouragement. Appreciate any recommendations you give.
Have a wonderful week!
