Wisdom Through Conflict

Growing up I became a whiz at avoiding conflict.

Making your way through life avoiding conflict, of course, is not sustainable. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, conflict happens. Avoidance may actually be one of the main causes of it.

As an adult, I've come to understand that wisdom can be gained through conflict.

The most helpful bits of wisdom?

• Conflict is more often than not worse in our minds than it ends up to be in reality.
• Conflict is not as scary when you can see through to the resolution.
• Conflict ends.

Now, I'm not saying I've mastered conflict resolution, but simply knowing wisdom comes through it lessens the stress.
