There are countless opportunities to practice diplomacy in our daily lives. For instance, if someone asks us to do something that doesn’t feel comfortable, we can honor our feelings and decline in a way that doesn’t leave them feeling rejected or scorned. Erecting personal boundaries and communicating our preferences gracefully is one of the finest skills we can hone. Developing sensitivity enables us to more comfortably let others know how we feel. Authenticity and honesty not only improve our relationships, they create the kind of life… 

We want to live.
