Stefano MarinelliMorning reflection: becoming an adult isn’t about getting older, but about learning when the time comes to "disengage". When the stream of thoughts, disagreements, integrity, that feeling of being right, turns into a simple "OK".
Not because you changed your mind, but because you understand that continuing to argue won’t change it either.
And so that OK is both an ending and a beginning: the end of the discussion, and the start of putting into practice what you believe anyway.
Anita LewisI'm adult enough to do that with everyone except my nearest and dearest. The argument just comes out before I take a breath. Well, maybe I hit 50%. I'll have to pay attention and see. That might actually help, especially if I take note of saying "OK" when it happens. Positive feedback does seem to work better for this sort of stuff.
@ajlewis2 doing this with closest people is - by far - much more difficult
