Hey brother,

Fred was arguing with his wife.   Again.

 

He was driving home and thought he would call her to ask if she needed anything from the grocery.  He passed the store 10 minutes ago but thought he could turn around a back track.

 

The call didn't go as planned.

 

By the end of it she would call him thoughtless, inconsiderate and disrespectful.

 

And by the time he arrived home he was worked up into a hot lather and jumped right back into the argument with her.

 

They both went to bed mad.

 

Bad day for Fred.

 

That was Scene One - Take One.

 

Scene One - Take Two.

 

Let's put James Bond in the drivers seat to play Fred's role this time.  Fred gets to watch from the back seat when James makes the call home. 

 

There is a very different outcome for one very clear reason.

 

James Bond doesn't take anything personally. 

 

And THAT is why he never needs to argue.  What does he do instead?  I tell the whole story in this video.

As Teddy Roosevelt said: 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” 

What have you got to lose?

With love, brother, 

Steve & Dan
