A New York boy was being led through the swamps of Louisiana by his cousin.

“Is it true that an alligator won’t attack you if you carry a flashlight?”

The cousin smirked and replied, “Depends on how fast ya carry the flashlight.”

When your parakeet sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you’re just sitting there, staring at carpeting?

Thought for the day
Why do you notice the little piece of dust in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood in your own eye? First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your friend’s eye. (Matthew 7:3-5 NCV)

When you are faced with a conflict, instead of accusing, attacking, or blaming the other person, begin with humility. This is true even if the conflict is 90% their fault.

Each person has their blindspots – No one is perfect and there are things we do that contribute toward a conflict that we have difficulty seeing.

Before you start attacking and blaming, Do a frank evaluation and ask, “How much of this conflict is my fault?” When you’re wrong, admit it. And when you’re right, shut up!
