Listen to this email I received from a reader and see if you can relate.
Dear Mort,
We are in week 2 of the silent treatment! It all started over something so little and ridiculous! We are both adults, old enough to know better than this! He is a judge, I am a social worker! He won't budge! I need help!
Jodie
The dreaded silent treatment. The big stand-off. You know it, don't you? Horrible, isn't it?
The most intense prayers in a household come during these silent treatments: "Oh God, I hope that's not him/her pulling into the driveway."
Or, "Oh God, when will he/she go upstairs already?"
Sometimes you feel like you could explode, right?
Most silent treatments start like Jodie's started; with something "little and ridiculous." Most couples can't remember what the impetus was. And if they could, they'd be too embarrassed to admit that something so small blew-up into something so big.
So what are these silent treatments or stand-offs REALLY about? And how can you avoid them or end them soon after they begin?
It's interesting that Jodie made a point in her email toa say that she and her husband "know better." In other words, they're intelligent, educated, and accomplished people. Jodie's husband is even a judge, an expert in distinguishing between right and wrong. They know that treating each other this way doesn't make sense. They know IT is wrong. But they also know that THEY are right.
And that's exactly the problem!
Silent treatments ensue when both people feel they're RIGHT. And the more intense each spouse's conviction to their perspective, the longer the silence lasts. And, ironically, the more intelligent and the articulate the couple, the MORE LIKELY they are to endure silence between them. Because intelligent and articulate people have confidence in their position and justification for holding their ground.
Although Jodie is surprised that her and her husband, intelligent people, could be so petty; the fact is that one reason they're holding their silence for so long is BECAUSE they're intelligent. In other words, intellectual capacity and marital satisfaction can be INVERSELY related. Let me say it another way: When it comes to saving your marriage, you can be right or you can be happy. But sometimes you can't be both.
In a courtroom, a hospital, or an office, right and wrong determine success or failure. The decision to prescribe the right medicine, for example, could be the difference between life and death. The relationship between the doctor and the patient is secondary. Being RIGHT is what matters and what is rewarded.
But in marriage, being right has no value. All that matters is the relationship.
Sometimes you have to choose. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happily married?
Just because you're right/wrong paradigm works at the office doesn't mean that you should bring it home. "He who is a hammer thinks everything is a nail." Some things work perfectly in one area of life and fail terribly in another. In marriage, you have to be like a carpenter and know which tool to use. The right/wrong mode is the WRONG tool to use in your marriage.
The more you insist on being RIGHT, the more you will be miserable in your marriage. Don't go for RIGHT; go for LOVE.
Jodie expects that because she and her husband are "intelligent," they shouldn't find themselves in these petty stalemates. But just because Jodie and her husband have a high IQ, doesn't mean they have a high EQ.
IQ is a measure of your INTELLECTUAL intelligence. The higher your IQ, the better your ability to process information and determine what's "right."
EQ is a measure of your EMOTIONAL intelligence. The higher your EQ, the better your ability to connect with people and succeed in relationships.
Just as some athletes are strong but not fast, so too many people have a high IQ but a low EQ.
Bottom line: Intelligence, in the way Jodie means it, has little bearing on her and her husband's ability to succeed in their marriage. In fact, a high IQ coupled with a low EQ can be a disastrous combination for a marriage.
The good news, however, is that EQ can be developed. Anyone can increase their EQ and learn to make their marriage RIGHT.

POSTED BY: *DJ DANY* ( ADMIN )
A few days ago, before giving the traditional Christmas blessing to the City of Rome and the world ("urbi et orbi"), Pope Benedict XVI reflected on the Child of Bethlehem as Savior. His Holiness said (in part): "He was sent by God the Father to save us above all from the evil deeply rooted in man and in history: the evil of separation from God, the prideful presumption of being self-sufficient, of trying to compete with God and to take his place, to decide what is good and evil, to be the master of life and death.."
The Holy Father said that human beings cannot save themselves from this sin, "unless we rely on God's help, unless we cry out to him: 'Veni ad salvandum nos! -- Come to save us!'"
He affirmed, though, that "the very fact that we cry to heaven in this way already sets us aright; it makes us true to ourselves: We are in fact those who cried out to God and were saved."
THE BISHOP OF ROME SPOKE OF GOD AS THE PHYSICIAN, WHILE WE ARE THE INFIRM. AND TO REALIZE THIS, HE SAID, "IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SALVATION, TOWARDS EMERGING FROM THE MAZE IN WHICH WE HAVE BEEN LOCKED BY OUR PRIDE. TO LIFT OUR EYES TO HEAVEN, TO STRETCH OUT OUR HANDS AND CALL FOR HELP IS OUR MEANS OF ESCAPE, provided that there is Someone who hears us and can come to our assistance."
"Jesus Christ is the proof that God has heard our cry," the Pope declared. "And not only this! God's love for us is so strong that he cannot remain aloof; he comes out of himself to enter into our midst and to share fully in our human condition. The answer to our cry which God gave in Jesus infinitely transcends our expectations, achieving a solidarity which cannot be human alone, but divine. Only the God who is love, and the love which is God, could choose to save us in this way, which is certainly the lengthiest way, yet the way which respects the truth about him and about us: THE WAY OF RECONCILIATION, dialogue and cooperation." (See here).
There is a famous hymn written by Martin Luther which begins, "A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing.." For all too many people today (including sadly, many Catholics) the conscience has become a "mighty fortress" built so as to shelter one from the exacting demands of truth. In the words of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, "In the Psalms we meet from time to time the prayer that God should free man FROM HIS HIDDEN SINS. The Psalmist sees as his greatest danger the fact that he no longer recognizes them as sins and thus falls into them in apparently good conscience. Not being able to have a guilty conscience is a sickness...And thus one cannot aprove the maxim that everyone may always do what his conscience allows him to do: In that case the person without a conscience would be permitted to do anything." In truth it is his fault that his conscience is so broken that he no longer sees what he as a man should see". In other words, included in the concept of conscience is an obligation, namely, the obligation to care for it, to form it and educate it. Conscience has a right to respect and obedience in the measure in which the person himself respects it and gives it the care which its dignity deserves. The right of conscience is the obligation of the formation of conscience. Just as we try to develop our use of language and we try to rule our use of rules, so must we also seek the true measure of conscience so that finally the inner word of conscience can arrive at its validity.
For us this means that the Church's magisterium bears the responsibility for correct formation. It makes an appeal, one can say, to the inner vibrations its word causes in the process of the maturing of conscience. It is thus an oversimplification to put a statement of the magisterium in opposition to conscience. In such a case I must ask myself much more. What is it in me that contradicts this word of the magisterium? Is it perhaps only my comfort? My obstinacy? Or is it an estrangement through some way of life that allows me something which the magisterium forbids and that appears to me to be better motivated or more suitable simply because society considers it reasonable? It is only in the context of this kind of struggle that the conscience can be trained, and the magisterium has the right to expect that the conscience will be open to it in a manner befitting the seriousness of the matter. If I believe that the Church has its origins in the Lord, then the teaching office in the Church has a right to expect that it, as it authentically develops, will be accepted as a priority factor in the formation of conscience." (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Keynote Address of the Fourth Bishops' Workshop of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, on "Moral Theology Today: Certitudes and Doubts," February 1984).
In the same address, Cardinal Ratzinger explains that, "CONSCIENCE IS UNDERSTOOD BY MANY AS A SORT OF DEIFICATION OF SUBJECTIVITY, A ROCK OF BRONZE ON WHICH EVEN THE MAGISTERIUM IS SHATTERED....CONSCIENCE APPEARS FINALLY AS SUBJECTIVITY RAISED TO THE ULTIMATE STANDARD."
A broken conscience, an ill-formed conscience, becomes a mighty fortress which shuts the truth out. Have we built an interior castle, as did St. Teresa of Avila, which remains open to the demands of truth and the promptings of the Holy Spirit? Or has our conscience become a mighty fortress built to prevent our encounter with truth?

This is without doubt one of the supreme loaded stuff that a woman can perform for her dating self. This is potential to present you with a mapped out edge of everywhere you would like to end up in your relationship. You will need to bring the right uneasy of list nevertheless, one that provides you an idea of what you would like your man to be but very one that does not shaft you from the recognizing the opportunities that can come your way.
08.03.2011 Los Angeles, CA - Mary Anders what her experiences were whenever you like it pertains to creating her think of man list. "I did what I can to protection the list I made was as possible as realistic without compromising any of the traits that I very salutation my guy to bring. I concluded up with everyone who more than than exceeded the leading, he is entirely all I ever salutation and more than." Anders was very give for the name of the webpage - http://www.meetyoursweet.com/women/articles/meet-your-sweet-for-women/how-to-find-a-boyfriend/.
Lists like these are sensitive due to the fact that not every relationship coach out give is for it. In fact, give may be more than coaches in the region of that are critical of this than give are who are for it. Up till now, I do say that whenever you like you are learning about how to find a boyfriend you will need to bring a list like this as it can give you a guide. Of swell, the list must be possible and salubrious. It must be more than about the natural world that would find mystery in a guy, qualities that would make you love him.
Spring, the first step is leave-taking to be making a draft, modish you almost certainly can list perfected all that pertains to mind of who you wish your think of man to be. It can characteristic anything and all the stuff and may travel over qualities like being tall, settle, or being rich. You can list perfected anything you wish modish so think about all the stuff you would like a man to be. Be compelled to list perfected stuff about his personality and he have got to treat you.
Like you bring your list down pat, your next step would be restriction. Surrounded by restriction you will be removing the new-fangled stuff, the stuff that you possibly will do without. You have got to only be continuation the stuff that are potential to keep you from loving a man if he will not bring these qualities. Does your man very need to bring a beautiful car and a apartment since you get to love them? Or will you be blissful with just loving a guy who is pressed and who has passion and objective instead? Be possible modish and protection your list is only made up of the natural world that will keep you from loving a man if he will not bring them.
Get in the lead whenever you like exploring how to find a boyfriend and make your think of man list. Minimally make compelled that list is not potential to keep you from leave-taking for the new opportunities which possibly will come your way. In addition, you will bring to shaft in mind that this list is not set in building material and it possibly will be diverse based on the indictment. Accede yourself some bizarre leap and don't be afraid to stray from the list if you need to.

2. [+111, -26] Talk about self-justificiation
3. [+63, -29] If you look at the reason for divorce for Korean couples, 80% of the reasons are because the man cheated on the wife or the wife caught the man cheating on her or the man abused the wife. As for husbands filing for divorce, their reason is usually just "personality differences".
4. [+32, -21] Men... tsk tsk.. No wonder they cheat
5. [+25, -12] Why does it piss me off every time Changmin talks about dating?
6. [+25, -8] He should realize that even if he feels that way, he should keep it to himself because blurting it out like this only cuts away at his image
7. [+22, -2] So was Victoria the girl you were dating or the girl you were emotionally cheating on someone else with
8. [+19, -4] I hope that someday, the girl you're in love with will fall in love with another man and you get dumped

I'd never have the time to even think of fulfilling my needs with another. I feel bad for whoever that woman was that Changmin is talking about.

TIPS FOR HAVING TOUGH CONVERSATIONS
"By: Cristin M. Lowe"
It can be extremely frustrating when your attorney suggests for you to speak to your soon-to-be-ex regarding settling your divorce case. After all, isn't that what you're paying him or her for? The truth is that when we ask this of our clients, it's for their benefit, not because we're lazy. Not only is it cheaper, but there is a smaller margin for miscommunication (think of the old game of telephone, where passing messages back and forth always results in some breakdown of the original message) and parties can talk about things in a "non-legal" capacity. That being said, we're fully aware of the difficult task we've given you.
We all feel frustrated and far less than brilliant when we don't know how to handle difficult conversations with grace, confidence and ease. Whether you're working with a difficult person, talking to your hormonally-charged teenager about missing curfew or being afraid to ask for what you need in your romantic relationship, we could all use help being able to speak our truth, even when it might not be easy for someone else to hear. We all avoid tough conversations at times. Whether it's because we hate conflict, are afraid of losing, or just don't want to speak to the other person period, it's a drain of energy and time allowing that conversation to fester.
Our communication gets fuzzy and sugarcoated when we're afraid to speak our minds. We get uncomfortable when faced with strong and opposing opinions. The "inner pushover" shows up and our conviction wavers. When putting off a tough conversation is zapping your energy and focus from what really matters, here are some tips to help you take the bull by the horns and have that talk.
1. SEE THE FOREST FROM THE TREES.
Divorce is never a sprint-it's a long, exhausting, and stressful marathon. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the "now" and forget about the ultimate destination. I once had a client who was able to work out an agreement with his ex-wife apart from the attorneys. It wasn't a full agreement by any means, but it was certainly an extremely advantageous agreement for him. Certainly it was more than he would have been entitled to under the law. He then decided to back out of their agreement unless she conceded another issue. That "extra" issue was a hotly contested issue at that point in time, but it was not a big issue in the overall grand scheme of their divorce. He ended up losing the deal and spent thousands more in attorney fees litigating the previous deal. Take a moment to connect to the big picture where the situation is resolved and your energy not being drained. Let the clarity of seeing your end point in mind help motivate and inspire you to know when to stop. The clich'e of quitting while you're ahead comes to mind.
2. STAY GROUNDED.
We all want to keep our cards close to our vest while expecting the other side to be fully open and honest. Tough conversations get even tougher when you shield yourself with your intellect and don't share how you are truly feeling about the situation. At the same time, it's usually extremely difficult (if not impossible) to make any sort of headway in resolving an issue without some sort of forthrightness. It's a very difficult balance between remembering that the two of you are opponents in a case, yet at the same time, working together to reach a successful outcome to your divorce. Remember to only be as open as necessary to make progress in your case-you don't need to share what you and your attorney discuss.
3. KEEP YOUR MOTIVES PURE.
The key is that you truly are trying to settle your divorce case. Using the time to exchange barbs or blame the other for the situation, remember to focus on the reason why you want to have the conversation. If you are trying to discuss the case with your ex for a reason other than trying to resolve matters, you shouldn't be having the conversation. Trying to resolve an issue amicably without attorneys is always a positive step, and it will be a welcome one regardless of the outcome so long as your intent is truly pure.
4. MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
Your agenda is to create clarity and hopefully move towards resolving some of your divorce issues. Beware of having a conversation with an agenda of having your ex see things exactly the way you do, or agreeing with you. It may sound a bit tongue in cheek to say so, but the reality is that you likely would not be in the middle of a divorce if you were able to have your spouse see things your way during the marriage. While you might get some level of compliance with what you want in the short term, in the long-run there will undoubtedly be friction, unfulfilled expectations and resentment. Give up an unrealistic expectation of having your ex agree with you, and instead focus on bridging the gap between your respective positions. Remember that the "why" is not as important as the "what" when it comes to agreements within the context of your divorce.
5. MAKE SURE THE TIMING IS RIGHT.
Before you even get started in the conversation, check in to see if the timing is right. Having a discussion at the wrong time will only lead to increased friction and a decreased likelihood of success. If your ex has another commitment or can't give the conversation their full attention, find a time that works for you both. Remember that divorce is an extremely emotional time for both parties and that your spouse may not yet be in the same state of mind as you. It's simply not worth trying to have a difficult conversation with your ex if it won't be welcomed or well-received. Be patient and intelligent about the timing of this important conversation.

I've been dating a woman for the away from few months. We have a lot in grassroots and have shut principles. The sex life has been great and I global delight in drinking time with her.
Badly, I realized that I have been reluctant to agree myself to fall in love with her due to her private approach to life. I don't find doesn't matter what fabricated with a person being private but I've learned over last-minute go that I'm very high-class fussy than the orthodox person. I suspected she was high-class private opening but yet to be dating for me has always been high-class of a one on one sphere until property blossom. I've made a few attempts at trying to mingle her with my friends.
Badly, in the function of out with a group of my friends at a swarming bar, she seemed to vary her curb. She started to protest about the place, saying property like "I don't see the point of being roughly speaking." This undisputable troubled me a lot and we through up abandonment what I would look over beforehand. She became matter whilst abandonment saying that she wants me to like her but doesn't want to feel like she's holding me back or a party pooper.
Leave-taking deliver, I'm not even how to exploitation this. Looking back, I've always been an unqualified. I've always loved separation to parties,bars, concerts, and greatly social gatherings. I'm not even if it's viable for me to propose a big part of what makes me happy in life, which is drinking time with others. Convinced of my best memories come from drinking time in social gatherings.
Is it viable to entitlement an introvert/extrovert relationship? If so, any tips? I don't want to cavity her or give up a potentially good relationship.

He was teased mercilessly as a result so he removed himself from his family nest and sadly wandered the land in solitude on his own.

"One day as winter drew to a close, the little duckling discovered his reflection in the lake as it gently thawed out from the cold winter season. Astonished, he could see that he had grown into a beautiful white handsome swan. Unaware of this for many years in isolation, he had spent much of his life sadly never knowing his true potential." This story is a magical metaphor which holds a powerful message about the absence of self acceptance and self love, and how our external experiences impact on our inner world (our subconscious mind). The duckling experienced negativity from external conditioning (the opinions and beliefs of other's), which led him to believe that he was unattractive and unloved. He therefore formed a limiting belief about himself based on the negative experiences he'd had as a result. He isolated himself from the outside world living his life in loneliness and solitude, believing he had nothing to offer. When the duckling was able to see his reflection in the mirror he finally realised that he had grown into a handsome swan and the self acceptance followed. Imagine if the Duckling had believed he was beautiful beforehand? How then would his life have been different? Whatever it is that you want to change about yourself, try to understand the qualities having this change will give you first. Will you feel happier, sexy, attractive, desirable, confident, self assure, accepted? All of these qualities can be gained before any changes need to take place physically because self esteem and self love must come from inside you, the core of your being and your mind. This is the biggest secret to boosting self worth, and learning to accept yourself for who you are, it must start from within. When your thinking changes, your neurology changes. The way you interact with people changes and in turn the way people interact with you changes. Your perception of the world is seen in a much more positive light and you can feel self assured that you are coming from your power when you take full control and responsibility for yourself. If you struggle to come from your power and don't feel respected by other people, consider asking yourself these questions: * By whose standards are you judging yourself by? * How much responsibility do you take for the way you feel or treat your mind and body? * Do you often pass the blame to someone else for making you feel a certain way? * Do you make your own decisions? * What do you sound like when you talk to yourself in the mirror or to the people around you? * Do you take on too much responsibility and then complain that people are taking advantage of you? * When was the last time you did something for yourself or had some space? * When you make a decision, is it with other people in mind, or for yourself? In order to gain the strength of your own self worth and believe that you have power, you need to change the language you use, the decisions you make and the way you interact with people. Why spend your life being the victim? When you behave like a victim, people will treat you like a victim. Many of my clients come to me because their negative perceptual thoughts about themselves and the world around them have completely taken over. Nothing excites them any longer, they have consistent negative feelings, and feel powerless to make a change. When you let go of your power, you lose your focus, passion or desire to do something, life can become very unpleasant. The most effective way to build up your self esteem and self worth is by taking control of your decisions, owning what you say, taking responsibility for your actions, and know that you are always doing the best you know how. Try to work on letting go of your own self criticism so that you can move into a place of power and control. When you next doubt yourself and your ability, or feel like you're beating yourself up verbally; ask yourself some questions that identify your good points: * What do you like about yourself, even the smallest and minor recognitions here are important? * What positive qualities do you posses? * What have you achieved in your life so far, however small? * What challenges have you faced and overcome? * What are your talents and skills? * What do other people value in you? * What aspects of yourself do you appreciate? * What are the bad things you are not? * How might another person you know and trust describe you? Doing this exercise will get you thinking in a more positive way, re-framing your thoughts so that you can focus on what is good and positive as opposed to negative and depleting. A person who has a balanced sense of self esteem can identify the good points about themselves. They speak highly of other people and often give compliments without giving it a second thought. They will own their decisions and although they make mistakes too, they are able to move on from it far more quickly without worrying what other people might be saying or thinking about them. They can apologise coming from a place of power as opposed to a place of weakness. As a result they have strength and control over their decisions, allowing them to achieve successfully. Contact me

I'm going to admit it. I'm an addict. I am totally hooked on "The Office." Now that it is in syndication, I can find it on multiple channels every night of the week and, of course, on NBC on Thursday nights. If you don't watch the show, you may not appreciate the notes below. But even just from the 30 second clip above, you know this is not your average show. And Michael Scott is not your average boss. He may be, all at the same time, the World's Best -- and Worst -- Boss.
It's like a train wreck. I can't look away. I know Michael Scott's management style is all wrong...and yet I find myself learning leadership from him. Something about his management of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin makes me think I'm not alone, and maybe I'm not doing too badly in my own position. Something in his quirky performance tells me, and likely many others, that leadership is difficult, that the alignment of people, personalities, and individual goals and objectives within a company focused on the bottom line is a heavy responsibility. But if he can do it...so can I!
Truthfully, there is much more negative than positive to learn from Michael Scott and the daily life in "The Office." There is way too much drama and, with all the meetings, pranks, and time wasting, productivity cannot be good. But in this two-part series on lessons from the show, I choose to start with the positive. Most of what Michael does is a mess. But some of what he does is truly worthy of emulation.
-- Michael Scott has created a culture within the branch where people can be themselves, where it is okay to have fun at work, and where each member of the relatively small team adds value -- to each other and to the company. He has created a sense of family among the diversity of the Dunder Mifflin branch. Attrition is low. Despite the give and take, people genuinely care about one another. They celebrate successes. They hang out together after work. People trust each other (well...mostly).
-- No one communicates like Michael Scott. Regular meetings, office huddles, and proactive sharing of information keep all informed. No one can say they don't hear or see enough of the boss or know exactly where they stand with him. Michael is an in-your-face, on the shop floor leader. He tells people what is happening at corporate, participates in all training sessions, and makes it a point to engage with every member of the team on a regular basis. While most of us complain about a lack of communication from our leaders, this is clearly not the case in this little paper company.
-- Michael works hard to develop subordinates. He made Dwight co-manager while also giving Jim responsibilities during his absences. He sent Jim on a developmental assignment at another branch and helped one of his teammates (Ryan) gain a leadership position at corporate headquarters. He has taken various members of the team out on sales calls and recruiting trips. He encouraged Pam to pursue her goals in design and gave her leave to go to school. He accepted the "co-manager" title along with Jim and, for a very brief period of time, demoted himself and made Dwight office manager. Michael is a caring boss who wants his team to succeed.
-- Michael is real. He has no pretenses about who he is. The pride that is evident in so many in leadership positions is virtually absent with him. He doesn't pretend to be Superman. He knows his weaknesses and is not afraid to ask for help.
Now...it isn't pretty. But what office is not without its dysfunction? Even the creepy Michael Scott has a good side. He cares deeply. He is passionate. He wears his emotions on his sleeves. He loves his job and his teammates. And, in their odd sort of way, they love him back.
The result? Dunder Mifflin seems to be weathering this difficult economic climate. Michael is consistently recognized for the performance of his branch. People stay. By any common measurement of leadership success, Michael is pretty effective.
I hope you watch the show and look for these positive leadership elements. Maybe you have some regarding positive lessons from the show that you can share. Perhaps together our growth will be stimulated from the lessons of the Scranton Branch. And maybe, like me, you can laugh at yourself and your own leadership shortcomings while peering into the life of the Dunder Mifflin team. I hope some of these things are worth incorporating into your own leadership journey. A little Michael Scott might brighten a day, make a difference, or change a life in "your" office. That's "Leader Business".
