What do we do in the face of no agreement? There will be times when what we do in life, say at our work place, will receive no agreement. It may be that we are critiqued or criticized for something that we have done. It is at these times that we may experience an upset, feel frustrated and even angry at what the other person is saying about us. Our tendency is to get defensive and strike back in some form or manner. In this process it is important to keep in mind that we are not our behavior and that we are doing the best that we can. Our behavior may need to be worked on and revisions made but that we are not doing something according to what others think we should be doing is not a statement about our value and work as a human being. Rather it is merely a statement about our behavior. We have a tendency to think that we are what we do. Take a look at your behavior to see if there is anything that you need to do differently. If so merely do it, do it differently. Life will be at times about having to live with no agreement.
