Aug 13, 2012 – Is a conflict making you stumble? Do you retreat, retaliate or resolve to get answers? When you retreat, wishing it will resolve itself or simply go away, it is still nagging at you and distracting you away from what you desire to be doing.

Oftentimes, conflict is a misperception because we don’t have enough answers and therefore, are making assumptions or...
