The Win-Win Approach To Disagreements
Compromise is the worst way to address human differences, except for all the others.
(modeled on Churchill's quote "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.")
The alternative to compromise is conflict.
Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.
- Jimmy Carter
When we seek to discover the best in others,
we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
- William Arthur Ward
Most of us think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing --
that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose.
Life becomes a zero-sum game.
... [In contrast,] Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one.
Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks
mutual benefit in all human interactions.
Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying.
- Stephen R. Covey
Your mother really did know the secret to a better world:
"Play nicely together. Don't fight."
Today's affirmation:
I feel unity with Spirit and with all that is.
My life is richer for sharing my being with all those I meet.
Each experience, however it appears at the time,
highlights and strengthens the fabric of my life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
