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

Being willing to change allows you to move from a point of view to a viewing point - a higher, more expansive place, from which you can see both sides.

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.

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

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

Our lives are not dependent on whether or not we have conflict. It is what we do with conflict that makes the difference.

Change does not take time - it takes commitment.
