When someone disagrees with you, it's not always a personal attack.
The ability to hear someone else's view without letting it get under your skin is powerful.
I once shared a room, while away on a baseball tournament, with a lawyer.
We had opposite views on just about everything.
We both did a lot of listening (and talking) during the week.
Both of us came away from that experience with more understanding and compassion for the other's views. To this day we are best of friends, even though we still do not agree on many issues. The key was that we didn't take it personal.
When one rejects your way or your ideas, it doesn't mean they reject you!
