You may feel like having more peaceful and harmonious interactions today. This could be because you realize that by becoming attuned to the needs of those around you, your conversation will become much more agreeable. Learning to let go of your need to be right and being able to identify with and hold another person in compassion might be things you can work on developing throughout the day. If you find that your own feelings become strained during your conversations today, you might take a deep breath and imagine yourself in the other person's position. Considering someones' feelings or what is going on in their lives may make it easier for you to understand where they are coming from and smooth out any friction that arises.
Harmonious interactions begin with relinquishing our own needs and instead recognizing the needs of others. While conversations and relationships are not always pleasant, truly balanced discussions begin with coming to some sort of middle ground first. Assessing the needs of our friends and partners allows us to see that our own ideas are not always right and that conflict occurs when we refuse to see all sides of an issue. This means that balanced interactions are not passive. We are actively engaged in the process of coming to a greater understanding of someone else. Placing yourself in another person's shoes today will increase your level of compassion and empathy and make your interactions more pleasant and agreeable.
