You Need Resolve. NOW.

In a fabulous online concert this past weekend, soul rocker Michael Franti made the point that we label these challenging times many things – crazy, wild, uncertain. But the best label for right now, he continued, is “important.”

The pandemic, the spotlight on racism, the economic problems – they’re not just uncomfortable wake-up calls. They are important calls for resolve to make big changes and make sure they stick. In chapter 6 of my book The Amare Wave, I give specific ways to replace fear with courage and resolve.

1. What one small thing do you resolve to do to put love to work?
2. Can you distinguish resolve from stubbornness?
3. Do you know how powerful you can be when you apply your resolve to important issues?

The One Magic Question To Resolve Things with the Energy of Love

My good friend and podcast host Kevin Monroe just told me how he dealt with a difficult business situation with a long-time colleague that called for them to go in separate directions. The first conversation did not go well. Kevin recognized this and ended the call with this brilliant request, what I now call “the magic question for tough conversations.”

1. Can we commit to resolve this with love and respect?

They both said yes. The next conversation cleanly resolved the business issue and actually brought up and healed past differences that had never been discussed. Try this magic question out when you’re in a challenging situation (and feel free to replace the word “love” with “compassion” or “kindness”). You will be amazed at the changes that can result.
