[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] What vital element might be missing from your communication style?

O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Substitute defense with compassion in uncomfortable communications. (Click to Tweet)

When we have uncomfortable relationships or disagreements, the first thing we might do is to protect and defend ourselves. We rationalize, make excuses, or make the other person wrong. When we are hurt or angered, it’s hard to do otherwise.

However, a more empowering approach is to access our compassionate side, the higher self who sees both sides of the situation. Compassion brings us together and allows a greater understanding with-out the fear that we or they are not enough.
