774 BIG RED ... CHICK MAGNET (AND A NEIGHBOR'S ADVISE) ... Part 15

If asked what creates a strong minded, well balanced voice, I'd say:
A compelling need to clarify a view while making good use of discretion.
For example ...

You can believe me when I say this:
None of my men were happy with me when we left the showroom empty handed, no Civic in sight.  Even so, no amount of resistence could sway me to change my mind when my sense of safety felt threated to the core.  At dinner, that night, discussions, which ensued grew heated.  So once again—thank goodness our family had developed THE LINE OF CONTROL

You can believe me when I say this:
Each day, I choose to sit at my computer, penning posts about insights, which guide my life, in hopes of highlighting this fact:  Children's brains can be trained and adult brains retrained to embrace postively focused, problem-solving techniques so that egocentric mindsets, which set up road blocks against seeking mutually satisfying solutions, stop sabatoging our think tank's potential ability to tolerate tension in order to brainstorm like teammates until workable solutions culminate in the creation of harmonic family life, based in the concept of win-win.


You can believe me when I say this:
In order to achieve harmony in family life, it's vital for people of both genders and all ages to learn to tame tension during multiple discussions, so that everyone concerned can partipate in brainstorming toward solutions that meet needs all around to a reasonable degree.  It's important to note that attitudes, which embrace brainstorming, do not cycle round the problem, angrily—brainstorming suggests that closed minded attitudes open to working together toward figuring out which piece of the puzzle we're all missing, so far ... And once the missing piece has been found and plugged into the hole in the original plan, it's only a matter of time before mindset expansion is clearly seen smiling on everyone's face.


You can believe me when I say this:
The best advice I ever chose to accept with humility came from a neighbor while she and I were sitting on a bench at the park, watching our children throw sand in each other's eyes:
Annie, I'd like to invite you to attend THE FAMILY EDUCATION ASSOC. with me.  Thank goodness, I agreed, because while attending free sessions offered to the public by THE FAMILY EDUCATION ASSOC., I learned that no matter your gender or age, it's never too late to choose to reretrain your brain to embrace positively focused, solution seeking communication techniques.  And here is why that insight is paramount to harmonizing with your family:  Clarity suggests that the only mind you can discipline is your own, which is why we refer to self restraint, self discipline, self control :)


 You can believe me when I say this:
While my sons were growing up my compelling need for harmonic family life inspired my brain to create five simple, tension-tolerating, communication techniques, two of which I chose to name The Line of Control and The Three-Step-Sanity-Saving-Problem Solving plan :)


You can believe me when I say this:
Our ability to open our minds and make good use of these five problem-solving tools whenever brainstorming required each of us to tolerate emotional tension offered our family adequate time to come up with leap-for-joy solutions that satisfied the needs of all concerned—and to demonstrate that point, please believe me when I say this:  Car purchasing leap-for-joy solution awaits your presence in posts, which are bound to pop up directly ahead  :) :) :)
