The reverse engineering of adult relationships through lessons learned as a parent. Hmmm. If it makes being an adult as much fun and as enriching as being a daddy, I am all for it and maybe you should be too.. All my life, I have worked on being less focused on the principle and more aware of the big picture. Call it a quest to better my “is it worth it” meter. Well, thankfully, I have finally found the antidote to my often principle driven blindness. That’s right; you guessed it, my boy. These past three years, which have passed in a flash and at a glacial pace at the same time, have been an ongoing exercise in figuring out what is worth it, what is not and, ultimately, how to pick my battles and minimize conflict. Why should you care? Well, by sharpening and honing your “worthiness meter” and paying more attention to your willingness to engage in conflict, you will most assuredly find yourself getting upset less and experiencing less conflict. YOUR STRESS LEVEL WILL DECREASE AND YOU WILL BE HAPPIER. If it works for me, it can work for you.
