The Mediator's Toolchest

Okay, well, before we get started, you should know that there are five different styles of conflict. My Shaolin Temple style defeats your Monkey Style.

Okay, the first style is "lose-lose".

If we do lose-lose, neither of you gets what you want. You-you would both lose. Now, I need to ask you, do you want to pursue a lose-lose negotiation?

Win-win, is number four, and number five is win-win-win. The important difference here is with win-win-win, we all win. Me too. I win for having successfully mediated a conflict on my blog.

Now, one at a time, I want you to express your feelings using "I" emotion language and no judging, or "you" statements.

Let's see if we can't just brainstorm and find some creative alternatives that are win-win.

Brainstorm. Own the solution.

It is done!

just a maybe and some sure things

i haven't done this for a long time. maybe i'll start doing it again. i didn't really have any motivation or inspiration to blog before. now i just don't have time. that's why it's a maybe.

let me rephrase... i had reasons to be inspired or motivated, but things were foggy i guess. there was like a haze in front of eyes or in my head. i feel like i have set my mind a little straighter now.
now i am eternally connected with A Beautiful Deity and he has given me a beautiful person to share this thing called life with. it's not easy but it is rewarding. i could have given up. she could have given up... but we didn't. we won't. and for that he is blessing us with another beautiful life called silas. we will give up some things though...

we give up our praise.
we give up our lives.
we give up our hearts.
we give all our days.

i think this spontaneous writing thing may work out for me. (flashing cursor)
