Instead of
Blaming, partner
Talking, listen
Excusing, admit you were wrong
Fighting, compromise
Hoarding, be generous
Waiting, act
Tearing down, build up
Criticizing, self-reflect
Withholding, extend a hand
Sacrificing, push back
Apologizing, own a better future
Asking for more, do more with less
Limiting, expand your reach.
I could go on. But you get the point. We have options to be generous every day. In work. In life. In relationships. It might be harder or feel uncomfortable at first, but in the long run these are solutions that get everyone moving in a better direction. And the ones who aren’t on board will eventually self select out.
