The Classic Pamela Positive: A Solution To Any Relationship Problem

\”You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors… Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.\”

― Abraham Lincoln

16th American President of the United States,

Statesman, and Lawyer

No matter how we feel we have been wronged, let\’s follow Lincoln\’s wise advice.

At a minimum, we can pause before we take action.

We slow down to determine the right pathway.

Even if we take a stance for what is right, we must come not from a space of ourselves being right.

Taking action simply because we are right does not serve the end. Taking action because we feel wronged most certainly doesn\’t.

It wins no battles. Your opponent, who is indeed your friend, will not feel heard, respected, even loved.

We must step back and come from a space of calm and centeredness, expecting the best for both parties. Then, listening as to what that next step should be, we will be led. Your response, then, is not a reaction; it is thoughtful. It is not ever in retaliation, for no law endorses it. It is of pure motive, as Abraham Lincoln speaks to \”the better angels of our nature.\”

It does not matter if you are in politics, business, a personal relationship, in a family. It all applies. It\’s a law of nature that allows us to keep that \”Union\” that Abraham Lincoln fought so dearly for, for our country. Thus by his example and success, we too can take a stand to preserve the union of any relationship in our lives.

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States, during the Civil War.  He is regarded as one of America’s greatest heroes due to his role as savior of the Union and emancipator of slaves. His rise from humble beginnings to achieving the highest office in the land is a remarkable story. His eloquent support of democracy and insistence that the Union was worth saving embody the ideals of self-government that all nations strive to achieve. Lincoln’s distinctively humane personality and incredible impact on the nation have endowed him with an enduring legacy. He is also known for his humble background, self-education, and skill with writing and rhetoric.  He was not a member of any one organized religion, but he frequently used Biblical imagery and references in his writing and speaking, and referenced a Providence who had a higher purpose. Lincoln married Mary Todd on November 4, 1842, at her sister Elizabeth’s home in Springfield, Illinois. She was 23 years old and he was 33 years of age. They had four sons, all born in Springfield.
