Overcoming Inner Conflicts

 Overcoming Inner Conflicts

 

Using the immense power of the human brain is an art. Some are born with it; some learn this art with time while the rest keep struggling throughout their lives due to their ignorance. Such people do not know what the brain power can do to them. An ambiguous mind gives birth to inner conflicts. In such a state, a person finds it difficult to develop a strong and steady attitude. He is unable to handle the inner struggles. Be it his thoughts, emotions, or behaviour; due to various internal confusions, he fails to have a stable mind.

●      Interpersonal Conflict: It occurs when in a bid to maintain a positive relationship with someone, the person feels compelled to act in a certain way.

●      Love Conflict: In this, a person often hurts people whom he loves. Such person is reluctant to accept his shortcomings.
