Everyday we run into people that can be very difficult to deal with. We are also faced with difficult situations that can foster opportunities for tempers to flare and attitudes to crest the walls of our emotional thresholds. In any case I would like to offer you this little tip. It is very simple and if practiced will become all the more easily executed in every situation.

The tip I would like to give is…you can either speak to the King (or Queen) in someone or the warrior! To speak to the King/Queen in someone you must choose your words wisely and be sure to not talk down, patronize or use combative words and tone. To speak to the warrior, well, speak in the direct opposite way that you speak to the King. You will most assuredly bring out the warrior in the midst of an already difficult situation. It is up to you to decide if you would rather be right or be in relationship.
