“Conflict is inevitable but contention is a choice.” Dieter F Uchtdorf. In our journey to transform our bodies, lose weight and have better health are we being contentious or experiencing conflict. In an interview with David Pulsipher this is what he said about the difference between conflict and contention: “some of the most beautiful parts of our world are created through conflict, if you will through the conflict between water hitting against the rocks in the seashore. And so conflict creates beauty. Conflict, when we do it the right way, will take us through a process in which we are co-creators with God. So we shouldn’t be afraid of conflict.” “Contention, on the other hand, is engaging in those differences in a way in which we don’t respect or love the other. So when it comes to human conflict, we can engage in all sorts of disagreements and differences, and out of those disagreements and differences create beautiful arrangements in our families in our workplaces, amongst our friends in our communities. But when we lose that sense of love and respect for the people who are different than us – whether that’s political or cultural or religious or just different personalities – and engage in conflict with anger, with seeing other people as objects and not as people, then very quickly that is what we call contention.” Join Us today as we discuss the reality of experiencing conflict with our bodies but not allowing the contention to creep in. www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com [email protected]
