EGO IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BLIND SPOTS IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS RELATIONSHIPS

During the past 10 years I’ve had more time and opportunity to reflect on blind spots in my life that I never saw or understood.  While I continue to see more blind spots as my journey continues, one of my greatest ones has been my ego manifested by ‘my need to be right’ or ‘to win’.  Retrospectively I now see how counterproductive that was to developing really good relationships built on trust.
 
So how about you?  How do you handle it when another person such as your wife of co-worker disagrees with you and you simply can’t find a place of agreement?  While it’s best to take more time to try to understand the other person’s viewpoint, sometimes in the short term it may be better to simply agree to disagree but still respect each other.   When we are willing to do this it allows emotions to settle down and enhances peace in the relationship.  If you’re not already doing it, give it a try.  Isn’t there a much better chance that long-term results will improve when you continue to value the other person?  And if you look at it from the other direction, don’t you also appreciate when the other person values you even though you may disagree?   (Admittedly some may feel that there may be exceptions when this whole approach gets ‘Trumped’ :-)

HUMILITY & MATURITY:  The ability to agree to disagree and still have respect for another
