Confront your challenges or run the risk of losing your future because you can’t live life successfully with unwelcome behaviors in your life.
Life is a game that needs all your focus and attention if you want to win.
You win when you give attention to creating the life you want.
Therefore, staying on the sideline is not an option.
Not if you want to live a life that is better than average.
You must develop the skills that come with learning to always confront your challenges.
Avoiding Confrontation
Avoiding confrontation is one of the ways some people try to get through life.
Usually it is because they want to avoid dealing with unpleasant people and situations.
But to live life in that way can lead to potentially harmful consequences.
You have more important things to focus on than to give energy to situations that will not help you.
In fact, avoidance behavior is the result of thinking that to confront is to invite unfortunate circumstances.
In truth, confrontation can be good and healthy.
Confront your challenges or, be a loser.
Benefits Of Confrontation
When used in the proper way it can lead to improved behavior and relationships.
You develop skills that in the long run are good for your future development.
Another benefit of using confrontation is the elimination of fear when you need to argue points of benefit to others.
To accomplish that goal however you will need to develop certain skills.
For example, using words that lower the tone and explain the situation usually leads to a better ending than the other way.
Against an antagonist, you can explain yourself and most likely lead to an amicable resolution.
Either an amicable resolution or the definite knowledge that you will not tolerate any unacceptable approaches or interactions in the future.
Amicable resolutions are always good but may not be always possible.
You choose the end result because your focus is to create the life you want.
Trying to avoid confrontation can and does encourage perpetrators to maintain their form ofnegative behavior.
On a personal level sometimes avoiding confrontation can cause some discomfort.
That is because there is no resolution in your own mind.
You would not be doing yourself a favor by setting up a situation that is incomplete.
Aiming at resolution is the perfect scenario for your life.
However, since it is not totally about you, there are times when you move on without resolution by both parties.
But you resolve that it is over.
Get on with your life!
Conflict And Relationships
We all have to deal with conflict at some point in our interactions or relationships.
Learning to face it is a great way to get to a resolution one way or another.
You could make a friend or you could end up with someone knowing that you are not one to be trampled upon.
When you avoid it, you leave yourself open to the development of some kind of toxic fallout.
Anxiety, especially in the presence of a person who approaches as a bully can even lead to illness.
Understanding that confrontation is a good thing would be great for you.
In your personal relationships for instance, try to avoid interacting with anyone you know that prefers this way of interaction.
But if and when the opportunity arises, confront them!
In doing so, you learn the skill of being able to talk them out of their behavior.
Why that is important?
When you engage in people pleasing, you avoid confrontation with others.
But then you never learn how to handle people of that ilk.
Left with no skill in dealing with confrontation means that you run a risk.
You will allow uncomfortable feelings to fester.
You can’t conquer what you do not confront.
Create The Life You Want
If personal development is important to you then it is important that you learn to deal with confrontation.
Understand that it is a positive thing and treat it as such.
Because if you don’t there could be negative situations that you do not want to remain in your life.
The more you properly use confrontation, the better you will become at making it work for you.
And, the easier it will be to eliminate those negative situations from your space.
When your life if free of those negative situations you are better prepared to create the life you want.
Ideally, you want to learn to identify when someone is causing you discomfort and then confront them in the best way possible.
Always keep in mind that you cannot conquer what you don’t confront.
Focus On A Better Way
In a perfect world, there is be no conflict.
So you do your best to create a world that is as close to perfect as possible.
The more you can eliminate conflict from your life, closer you will be to enjoying a better life.
That is why you focus on doing the right thing.
With that approach you will keep your mind free to concentrate on the important things in your life.
Important things like designing a great life, building a successful business and working towards mastery in some area of interest to you.
Conclusion
You have what it takes to deal with conflict once you understand that if it is to be it is up to you.
There are millions of people in the world and some of them are prepared to be bullies and test you.
