Lately no matter where I go, I’m watching some sort of dissension whether it’s the election or the merits of one social networking tool over another (or even the debate over whether social networking is worth the “trouble”).

Yesterday morning I had a friendly misunderstanding with an energy expert about a free meditation audio I created to help reduce stress a few months ago. I told her she could use it as a free bonus in her promotional materials for her on own meditation audio a few weeks ago. She promoted it yesterday as a prosperity meditation and I corrected her that it was a relaxation/stress relief audio.

But I just listened to it again, and I can see why she might have construed it as such. I really took a holistic approach to getting centered and calm, which included envisioning your overall ideal state. But my “come from” when I created the audio was witnessing stressed out folks throughout the week and even getting caught up in the drama a bit.

Her “come from” was around getting people to over come their money blocks (and overcoming money blocks overtly counts as getting a prosperity mindset!).

But what about the more acrimonious misunderstandings? Can you think about a time when you’d like to have a “re-do” opportunity and this time consider where the other person was coming from?

Ponder that one for a bit for me.
