Preparation

by Rod Smith

Preparation is everything if you are headed for a crisis or think you may be. Here are a few things to think about to get your head ito the right frame of mind:

  • I will not panic, sell the house, or make any drastic moves.
  • There are a variety of options I have not considered and will not come to mind when I am under stress.
  • How I respond to this crisis (confrontation, change in direction) will  be more important than the issue itself.
  • What I am facing is probably not about specific people; rather it is about the environment that has developed among various people.
  • No matter how tough things get I will not resort to lies, making others the scapegoat for anything.
  • I will enter every conflict with the intention of facing and resolving problems, finding resolutions and forgiving my foes.
  • I will enter tough meetings or conflicted circumstances with a spirit of humility and a desire for healing and reconciliation.
  • I will promote love and understanding, even at the expense of appearing weak.
  • I will be responsible for myself, and responsible to and not for others.
  • I will not resort to insulting or humiliating others in order to support my position or strengthen my case.
