Scolding is easy. Coaching takes patience.
Complaining is easy. Resolving takes work.
Talking is easy. Listening needs focus.
Arguing is easy. Negotiating needs empathy.
Harming is easy. Healing takes knowledge.
Dismissing is easy. Encouraging takes heart.
Lying is easy. Admitting takes courage.
Insulting is easy. Complimenting takes confidence.
Blaming is easy. Understanding takes time.
Avoiding is easy. Confronting takes guts.
Quitting is easy. Staying takes will.
Condemning is easy. Forgiving takes strength.
Apathy is easy. Loving takes commitment.
Rejecting is easy. Accepting takes grace.
How often will we allow ourselves take the easy way out? Wouldn't everything in our lives be better if we didn't?
