Difficult conversations test our level of maturity and gives us the opportunity for clarity from communicating.
Helping us separate facts from assumptions, reality from emotional reactions and falsehood from truth.

Difficult conversations often requires a level of vulnerability and this is the reason why many run from or avoid them.
Difficult conversations also require deliberate actions, sometimes not in favor of or to the satisfaction or comfort of the concerned parties. So many avoid them.

It is better to be decisive after a clear assessment of a situation, than to be on the fence of decisions. With difficult conversations, one must be willing to take responsibility.

All communication efforts aren’t always simple.
Many must be held and that sometimes includes saying “No”.
Yes, “No” is allowed.
“No” is a powerful word.
It’s not a crime to say “No”.
In fact, it is a healthy practice that allows you to say “Yes” to things you really want.

Having difficulty conversations is important, and saves one from undue stress and more complex problems. So, be willing to become open, vulnerable, precise, clear and intentional.
Have you ever watched a soap opera unfold and wished many times that a character had just spoke up about something from the onset?

You probably wished a thousand times that they had been brave enough to have that “Difficult Conversation”.
A communication effort that would have saved everyone from a whole lot of complex problems.

Yet as you watched the movie unfold, you really wished that they had been brave enough and decisive.

However, there was really nothing you could do about it.
Unless, they made a choice to have that difficult conversation. You knew without a doubt that, things could only get worse.

In life it’s the same for us.
So, stop running away from difficult conversations, just because they make one feel uncomfortable for a while or can cause a person to feel upset.
Effective communication requires having those difficult conversations.
Be brave!
