When someone has really stressed you out or pushed your buttons and you feel like you need a drink, here’s the cocktail I recommend: Equal parts:
- Compassion*
- Appreciation of diversity**
- Respect***
- Humor****
- Curiosity*****
Modify to taste and enjoy.
* I too have my quirks and foibles. I too make mistakes. I too use ineffective strategies at times. I too sometimes get in my own way.
** Just like I’m allowed to have my own opinion, so are other people. It is okay to not see eye to eye, to have a difference in opinion.
*** That other person is a much loved child of God too.
**** What if I don’t have to take it personally and can be entertained by my thoughts.
***** Be curious – Isn’t that interesting? – I wonder what’s going on with that person that would have them behave this way?
Much Love,
Jonathan
