Yesterday we learned about the Purple Light technique. Yet you still have more conflict than you like. Why is that? Yesterday I had two conversations with people regarding this challenge. So what can you do.

One of which was with housemates. The other was in an educational setting. In our daily affairs we are going to run into many people with issues that have nothing to do with you. Most likely they have had these issues way before you ever met them.

You are not going to change them. Most likely they are not interested in changing…yet they are in your life now. You got to deal with them and make the best of it. What do you do?

Have you noticed that you have a tendency to want to get in the last word? And if you don’t get it in, you think that you should have. I know I have. Why should they treat you this way? “I’m not going to let them get away with it.”

Let’s be honest. We have all been there. We want to let them know what we really think of them.

Don’t go there. Let go of the need to be right. It’s what keeps us hooked in and you know what? That’s all they know. They’ll want to get in the last word and feel vindicated. It will never end. Let it go.

Maybe you’ll feel that you are right but at the same time you’ll feel miserable and worked up. It’s not worth it. Let it go. Communicate with them. Understand why they feel the way they do. You don’t need to do much more. Remember you aren’t going to change someone by making them wrong.
