Understanding Conflict and Mindset
Experiencing conflict does not equate to personal failure; rather, it's the mindset that's essential to address. Negative thinking patterns, such as self-pity and jealousy, often cloud our perception, making it hard to see our achievements. Acknowledging conflict as a natural part of life can allow us to separate our thoughts from our inherent worth. This awareness creates an opportunity for personal growth and empowers us to shift focus from scarcity to abundance.
