Published: Nov. 10, 2021, 9 a.m.

Today we\\u2019re going into session two of the 10 commandments to dealing with difficult people.

\\xa0

These 10 commandments are difficult to follow. Our natural tendency is not to give others the benefit of the doubt or forgive them when they wrong us. Instead, our tendency is to fight back.

\\xa0

However, we must ask ourselves the question: \\u201cDo I want to win the fight or do I want to win the war?\\u201d

\\xa0

I, for one, want to win the war. I don\\u2019t want to let my relationships fall apart because of one disagreement or frustrating moment. I have a feeling you don\\u2019t want that, either.

\\xa0

If that\\u2019s true, take these 10 commandments to heart. Go back and listen to the first five I shared last week. Then, come back and hear commandments six through ten.

\\xa0

The truth is, no one is immune to this issue. No matter who you are, you have to deal with difficult people.\\xa0

\\xa0

So, join me. Let\\u2019s learn how to do it.
