“If you avoid conflict you will not achieve success.”

—Donald Miller, Business Made Simple, p. 17

I have to admit: conflict scares me.

This is how I imagine it’ll end in all situations:

I avoided conflict like the plague (or COVID-19 😩) most of my life. As a child and a young adult. And every time I did, I missed out on something.

A chance to connect with someone on a deeper level.

A chance to fix a situation in desperate need of repair.

A chance to understand someone else’s point of view.

But every time I embraced the inevitability of conflict and put on my brave face, I made a difference.

Conflict is going to happen if you’re making progress towards something great.

Will you run from it? Or will you tackle it head-on with empathy and understanding?
