By internalizing that responding with kindness is strength, not weakness.
By wanting to truly understand each other, despite feeling unheard.
By giving up the notion that someone has to “win” or that anyone loses by saying “you are right”, “I am sorry”, or “I can do better.”
How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?
By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.
By deciding to stop with the criticism and the nagging and instead say thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for loving me.
By taking turns talking.
Why is it that women are stronger than men nowadays?
By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”
By keeping in mind it’s OK to have different opinions and different experiences, and they both matter in equal measure.
