How you approach loved ones and acquaintances matters.
The dialog (you allow) in your head as you interact with them matters. (It translates over to them and they feel either unease or grace.)
You determine the outcome of situations.
You have more power than you realize.
Respect, acceptance, compassion go a long way in resolving conflict.
You are just so used to getting bombarded with information and bashed with responsibilities every second of every day, it is difficult to pick up on these subtler forces.
But they are there.
Always.
Waiting.
And they are most necessary when you encounter someone that is down or struggling or alone.
Your interaction with them matters.
