Hi, I'm Steven Scoggins and I want to welcome you back to the Journey Principles. As always, we have two simple goals. We hope to encourage your mind and motivate your heart. Let's talk about conflict. How do we look at conflict in our lives? Do we learn and grow through it, or do we turn and run away from it? You see, conflict occurs when an expectation meets a larger and much bigger dream. Conflict is the genesis of all the growth. It is the tool that pushes us to explore our feelings, beliefs, and ultimately helps to create our definition of ourselves. When we experience conflict, we can lean in instead of stepping away from the discomfort. So let's take a step forward, tort it with confidence, fully engage ourselves in the moment and in the process, make it work for you. Let's strengthen our resolve, our thoughts, and take the time to think through our actions. Let's practice patience, understanding and respect while keeping an open mind towards someone else's point of view. You see, our new awareness will actually help us breathe life into relationships around us. We will always learn something new if we'll just take the time to go through the process. I'm Stephen Scoggins. Encourage you to heal, grow and go. So go. God bless you and we'll see you on the next Journey Principles.
