The Privilege of Resolving Relationship Conflict

Written by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.


Continued from page 1

“So, instead of keep score regarding who reaches out, why not jump atrepparttar opportunity to move into your own personal power by beingrepparttar 111033 one to reach out? Why not be in gratitude that you haverepparttar 111034 privilege of practicing being a loving and compassionate person?”

“Wow!” responded Shelly. “I never thought of it that way! I like that! I always do feel great when I let go of blame and open my heart. Seeing this as I ‘get’ to berepparttar 111035 one to reach out rather than I ‘have’ to berepparttar 111036 one to reach out makes allrepparttar 111037 difference!”

“How are you feeling about this Stan?” I asked.

“Well, I can see that I often feel like a victim and it feels terrible. I get so stuck in being angry and waiting for Shelly to fix it. I waste days feeling badly. What a waste! And even when she does finally reach out or we just reconnect because time has passed, I’m still stuck with some bad feelings. I can see that I’m choosing to be a victim rather than move into my power. Somehow, I thought that I was being powerful by being angry and waiting and I just ended up feeling terrible.”

We are not in power when we are angry and blaming. We are in power when we are behaving in a way that we value. The more responsibility we take forrepparttar 111038 conflict and forrepparttar 111039 resolution,repparttar 111040 better we feel. There is a Hawaiian Huna prayer, called Ho'oponopono, that is about taking full 100% responsibility for everything through all time:

"Divine creator, father, mother, son as one. If I, my family, relatives and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds and actions fromrepparttar 111041 beginning of our creation torepparttar 111042 present, we ask your forgiveness. Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut allrepparttar 111043 negative memories, blocks, energies and vibrations and transmute these unwanted energies to pure light. And it is done."

I have found that when I take full 100% responsibility for any conflict, regardless of who started it or who I believe is at fault, I feel wonderful. If I wait forrepparttar 111044 other person, I feel terrible. Which do you want?
