Little Gandhi's


I have to practice some things with people I do not agree with:

1. Treat them as a friend

Treat them as friend? I do not treat my friends as sweetly I do my enemy sometimes. When I am trying to persuade someone I am in disagreement with I become so good.

2. Use a strength based approach to discussing their attitude or behavior.

I can not personally attack them or their ideas. Name calling never got anyone anywhere. When I feel attacked I shut down. I am not open to sharing my thoughts or feelings. Sometimes when I am attacked I want to strike back and am unable to listen to "reason".

ANYWAY about the photo:
