I would let go of a lot of things for the sake of harmony. I am someone who prefers peace and tries to practice the mantra of, “It takes two to argue.” I find that listening empathetically, especially in my personal relationships, yields much better results and I walk away from difficult situations feeling good about myself. It is much better than walking away having “won” or “lost” an argument. Sometimes, we are forced to fight when peace becomes untenable, but most of the time, a lot of our conflicts stem from not being able to be inside each other’s body and mind to fully appreciate what is going on in that other person. If I have to fight for my kids or family, I can be quite tenacious, but this rarely needs to take place because in general, I don’t get those combative responses.

What I Would let go of for Harmony
This is a proactive perspective, because even when I struggle with urges to correct situations, some fights are not my own. It actually does feel good walking away from situations and allowing others to interpret things as they desire to. This is a solution based response that I find refreshing, especially because as parents we need to stay mindful.
Absolutely, parenting should be called learning how to deal with small irrational people 😄
So true! I really like these lines “but most of the time, a lot of our conflicts stem from not being able to be inside each other’s body and mind to fully appreciate what is going on in that other person”
That is something my girlfriend has helped me understand that has definitely broadened my perspective.
Thats great! For me, its my wife but took me enough fights to get that perspective lol
Hey well at least we got there 😁
True!
