It is so easy to speak negatively when we do not like something about someone. Sometimes we do react to the situation and get angry. We continue to find fault with that person. The person too responds negatively to our negative thoughts. And so there is no hope of creating a positive relationship. When something goes wrong in any relationship, the first thing we need to do is to keep our mind calm and cool. When we do this, we will not be caught up with the negativity of the situation or the negative trait of the person at that time, but we will be able to see something beautiful in that person. We will be able to appreciate and connect to the uniqueness of that person, thus creating space for rebuilding that relationship.
