When In An Argument, Don’t Shut Down. Grow Up & Face It

It’s easy to overlook reality when we’re caught up in a heated argument.
 

Reality is the middle ground that can allow both sides to walk away content.
 

By acknowledging that reality is separate from your perspective and from the other person’s viewpoint, you’ll become more open to finding a solution that resolves rather than covers up the root issue.
 

And, what does that mean?
 

A lot less ill will toward the person you’ve been arguing with.
 

If we enter into an argument acknowledging that there is a third side to the story – the reality of the situation – then we’ll have a much better shot at meeting somewhere in the middle.
