Today, we’re going to talk about when to de-escalate – and when to stand your ground.  Questions that we can ask ourselves before listening:  Have you ever been in a heated situation?  Maybe you found yourself wondering what / how to respond to a difficult situation?  Or perhaps after the fact you were thinking of different ways you could have handled it.Maybe…you could have de-escalated the situation instead of – well, whatever happened instead.LANGUAGE WARNINGShow Title:  The Art of De-EscalationIf you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchenAfter this dialogue yesterday, I watched this:The initial scene of how Keanu Reeve’s character was awesome, how they tipped his truck and then he just walked away to avoid the confrontation.Do not ever touch our friend - Bullying Keanu Reeves, you're unlucky. https://www.facebook.com/barriosednalyn/videos/4531672440192521Now…often times we don’t have some big offensive linemen to stand up for usBut we always have the ability to walk away The Strangest Secret in the World – Earl Nightingale Again:“To be successful …we must be willing to pay the price” NOW WHAT IS THAT PRICE?Well it’s many things.Now let’s just go over the important points in the price each of us must pay to achieve the wonderful life that can be ours. It is of course worth any price.·        One: You will become what you think about.o   Well it’s many things. First, it’s understanding emotionally as well as intellectually that we literally become what we think about, that we must control our thoughts if we are to control our lives. It’s understanding fully that: “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”·        Two: Remember the word imagination. Let your mind soar.o   Second, it’s cutting away all fetters from the mind and permitting it to soar as it was divinely designed to do. It’s the realization that your limitations are self-imposed, and that the opportunities for you today are enormous beyond belief. It’s rising above narrow-minded pettiness and prejudice.·        Three: Courage – Concentrate on your goal every day.o   Thirdly, to use all your courage to force yourself to think positively on your own problem. To set a definite and clearly defined goal for yourself. To let your marvelous mind think about your goal from all possible angles.·        Four: Save 10% of what you earn.o   We talked about that yesterday And Action – Ideas are worthless unless we act on them.  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTOr…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Share it with a friend!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth  Support the showBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth
