It is hard to change our point of view in a conflict. Most often, it is because we are not nearly as interested in resolving the conflict and possibly creating a new "pearl" as we are in being right.

The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them.

Conflict can be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither side loses and a new dance is created.

Instead of seeing the rug being pulled from under us, we can learn to dance on the shifting carpet.

Being willing to change allows you to move from a point of view to a viewing point - a higher, more expansive place, from which you can see both sides.

Embracing conflict can become a joy when we know that irritation and frustration can lead to growth and fascination.

Change does not take time - it takes commitment.

Our lives are not dependent on whether or not we have conflict. It is what we do with conflict that makes the difference.

Conflict isn't negative, it just is.

It is very difficult to apply the old Indian adage 'Do not judge another until you have walked a mile in his moccasins,' unless you get out of your own moccasins first.

When conflict becomes a win-lose contest in our minds, we immediately try to win.

Spirituality nourishes the soul.

I think best on two wheels

Keep on going and the chances are that you will stumble on something perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.

SPAM is taking e-mail, which is a wonderful tool, and exploiting the idea that it's very inexpensive to send mail.

My daily schedule is quite hectic, but I have to put my health first in order to be the best mom and wife I can be.

My kids haven't watched one episode of 'Growing Pains'. I'll tell you why. When our kids were little, we never wanted Mommy or Daddy to be the celebrity mom or dad to our kids.

If you know a little bit the psychology of human beings, you have to understand that if you say something you should not do, then everybody wants to do it.

Children are often the silent victims of drug abuse.

A well trained body is a beautiful instrument on which to play the melody of the present moment.
