Many of us have never learned the truest concept of communication. We are constantly trying to convince and persuade others to our point of view. We argue, many times simply to win an argument. Many times we even forget what we are arguing about but we know we must win.

We live in a world of differing viewpoints. That will never change. What can change though, is our attitude and response to other people. We can help other people much more by simply listening to them then by trying to convince them of something. Even if we are right, by simply letting someone get their point of view across, they begin to realize their own flawed thinking.

If we try to argue with them, they begin to see us as a threat and become determined to win. They begin to see the conversation as a battle that must be won rather then a chance to look at their own beliefs. It is our responsibility to listen to others. Many people in the world are lost. They need someone to listen to them so that they can begin to find their way.

Stop trying to win arguments! Very rarely will that help convert people to the truth. Many times it will push people away from the truth permanently. If you are living a good life and sticking to the 15 Fundamentals of The Family Coaching Central Program, then the example of your life will be the best argument of all. You will be able to convince people without saying a word that you have found a better way of life and have uncovered the truth.
