No Hope? What to do?

No hope to solve a conflict?

Tired of ongoing arguments and useless attempts to solve a conflict? Is it a family conflict? A loyalty conflict? A dispute in the working space? Hope is like the wish for random events.

Give up all hope and begin with a new vision.

What vision do you have from your conflict?

• Is the conflict heavy?
• Painful?
• Deep?
• Old?
• All of that?

Did you try everything to solve the conflict?

• Did you talk?
• Did you write letters or e-mails?
• Or did you try to find the help of a mediator?
• Nothing helped?

To give-up hope in a certain direction may open the mind for a new way.
