00:00Disagreements and communication. Oh my, that is a beautiful topic. Dealing with
00:06difficult people. Sometimes they actually might show up in your own home. Even
00:09sleep in the same bed with you. You might need to cultivate some patience and
00:15learn how to harness yourself. Possess your soul. Be made whole. Cultivate some
00:21self-control and learn to listen to your spouse or maybe a family member or a
00:27boss or a co-worker to find ways to work together harmoniously. So disagreement,
00:33nothing wrong with that. You're gonna have a lot of them throughout your
00:36life journey. But you do need to know how to communicate through those tense,
00:42difficult moments in ideological disagreements. Maybe one parent says, oh I
00:49think we should be tougher on Johnny. Make him do more homework. And then mom
00:52says, I don't care about the school grades so much. I want him to do more
00:55housework. Help me with the dishes. So everybody's got a different emphasis,
00:59focus and set of values. So learning how to talk through them. Hear each other's
01:06perspective and at least maybe value this perspective even if you don't agree
01:11with it. And thereby you can find a happy medium in the middle. Perhaps to work
01:16these things through or discover and decide which are the non-negotiables. So
01:21whether this is life or love coaching, I think disagreements are part of life and
01:26you need to learn how to communicate and do so in a civil manner, not a hostile
01:33manner. And do so peaceably, patiently and with wisdom and tactfulness. And harness
01:40your emotions in your mouth and don't become offensive or aggressive or bitter
01:45or angry. But do so with an open heart and mind and do it with patience knowing
01:51everything takes time. So that's the beauty of relationships. You get to do it
01:55over a lifetime. So count the cost before you dive in headfirst and don't just
02:01merely make decisions based on hormones. Make it based on the Spirit of God and
02:06your life values and purpose and priorities. And go forth with wisdom,
02:10tactfulness, strength, prayerfulness, meditation, reflection and ultimately let
02:15the Spirit of God lead you by your own instincts and internal impressions.
02:19And what you value most because your decisions will ultimately determine your
02:24destiny and you have to choose them wisely.
