Conflict can be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither side loses and a new dance is created.

When conflict becomes a win-lose contest in our minds, we immediately try to win.

It is hard to change our point of view in a conflict. Most often, it is because we are not nearly as interested in resolving the conflict and possibly creating a new "pearl" as we are in being right.

Embracing conflict can become a joy when we know that irritation and frustration can lead to growth and fascination.

The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them.

Instead of seeing the rug being pulled from under us, we can learn to dance on the shifting carpet.
