In life we often encounter many difficulties; one
of those difficulties being the people that we come in contact with or are
surrounded by. (You all should know by now that CWP never focuses on others but
on you).  It’s not about the difficult
people but how you choose to respond to difficult people. How are you dealing
with the difficult people in your life? Difficult people come in all different
form; those that are unintentionally difficult and those that set out to get on
your nerves. In any case, what matters most is how we go about addressing our
difficult situations. Today I want to give you some tools to help you deal more
effectively with the difficulties that come your way. Tip #1 Self Control.
At the risk of sounding like you mother: Who's got more control over you than
YOU? Don't just allow anyone push your buttons. As a matter of fact, around
some people you need to turn your buttons off. When you leave to many buttons
available; you give others POWER over you; allowing you to lose control on
their command. So with this first tip, you must always be in CONTROL of YOU.
Tip #2 Respect Differences. Learn that everyone is different and therefore
we all think and learn differently. Not every is going to agree, and you
certainly are not going to please everyone. You don’t have to always agree; but
you can certainly agree to disagree. This solution causes less confrontation.
Tip #3 Release Your EGO. Be open to the fact that not everyone is your
enemy. Sure there will be those that just want to get under our skin but in
those cases refer back to Tip #1. In most cases however let go of always having
to be right. Often times when you're right you forget that there's a looser in
the scenario. Try to focus on WIN-WIN solutions. I know that this is not always
possible but think about Tip#2. The final part of Tip #3 is that it's not
always about you. Sometimes when there's always a problem surrounds YOU; you
should look at the common denominator (YOU). Think about it. When you can view
situations from someone else’s perspective, it requires a release of your ego.

I hope that these tips are
helpful when you encounter difficult people and or situations. I would love to
know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated at CWP.
