In the middle of conflict,

it’s easy to campaign for our cause so passionately

that we forget another person is on the other end of our comments and our frustration.

We should always attempt to remember their perspective.

They might be arguing from a place of loneliness or pain,

while you’re fighting from a place of wanting to be right.

If you win the argument, but isolate yourself from that person,

have you truly won?

Take the high road instead.

Elevate the other person’s confidence by connecting with them rather than isolating, critiquing, and diminishing;

showing value to others is always more important than being right.
