Taking the High Road

"When do I have to take the high road?" a client asked me. That's a good question. I would say when you want to hold onto your integrity and increase your chances of a positive outcome. Not everyone agrees with this point of view -- certainly not street fighters, or the "eye for an eye" contingent. But you are the only one who can know the right thing to do. Whether you choose to do it is strictly up to you. The course you decide upon does not depend on what the other person did to you, said to you, etc., only what intention you are willing to hold for yourself in the transaction. If someone does you wrong, you may want to strike back, to seek vengeance. But what will you really have gained? Taking the high road means maintaining your inner equilibrium in the face of outer circumstances. And if you want to learn more about the High Road and how to keep your own peace, try Life Coaching!
