Staying out of the Middle
<TABLE width=500 align=center><TBODY><TR><TD align=right>
“I don’t want to get in the middle, but…” is a sign that we may have just stepped into the middle.
We do not have to get caught in the middle of other people’s issues, problems or communication. We can let others take responsibility for themselves in their relationships. We can let them work out their issues with each other.
Being a peacemaker does not mean we get in the middle. We are bearers of peace by staying peaceful ourselves & not harboring turmoil. We are peacemakers by not causing the extra chaos created when we get in the middle of other people’s affairs & relationships.
Don’t get in the middle unless you want to be there.
Today I refuse to accept any invitations to jump in the middle of others’ affairs, issues & relationships. I will trust others to work out their own affairs, including the ideas & feelings they want to communicate to each other. <CENTER><HR SIZE=3><HR SIZE=3></CENTER></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
