In every relationship something works. Why focus on a disagreement that only builds barriers? Focus on what is working and make more of it. When two people agree on what is working, they center their attention on creatively building the relationship. It’s always a choice, we can choose to focus on what is working and make more of it. Or, we can choose to focus on what isn’t working and create an atmosphere of blame, shame, and defensiveness.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Hi Terveen, Something works in nearly every setting. In our relationships, if we can set aside differences for a moment, and focus on what works, we will discover that we have so much more that brings us together than what separates us. Keep shinning and shine brightly. Ray
This is great advice. 🙂
