“Someday when scientists discover the center of the universe, many people are going to be disappointed to find out it isn´t them”.
(Witty Unknown)
By shifting the focus from ourselves towards other people, and by expressing appreciation even in the toughest moments, we can be certain of a positive, or at least neutral, outcome in any relationship. Why not try it out sometime? Politeness does not cost us anything.
Quoting Dr. Wayne W. Dyer:
“Let go of your ego’s need to be right. When you’re in the middle of an argument, ask yourself: Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the joyous, loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened”.
