After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.

If you cannot comfortably “meet in the middle” in a conflict, integrity then dictates that you consider it “from the highest standpoint” to see it “from the highest perspective“—for the highest good of all involved.

A peaceful coexistence requires everyone involved to respect each other’s differences, boundaries and perceptions.
From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Looking outward at the common vision—instead of looking inward at each other’s differences—helps us to set aside our individual agenda to fully focus on the shared goals planned together for the partnership.

See it also from the other’s perspective for a better understanding of the issue—towards a fair and balanced resolution of the conflict.

It becomes easier to get along well with others with a difference in perception when we reach a higher level of consciousness—as we are more open-minded, compassionate, and empathetic.
From my ebook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Seeing it from another’s perspective and empathizing can sometimes mean looking back with compassion and remembering when we were in a similar situation.

Inner peace helps us to easily shift to a position of love, openness and curiosity. When we engage from such a position we are more likely to gain from the experience and less likely to feel burdensome or pain that comes more with engaging from a position of expectation or a readiness to judge.

Feeling connected to others from a deeper level can just be a matter of appreciating that while we may be living separately as individuals or in different locations, we are connected through our divinity to the same Source (God).

Every “bird” is just as important regardless of its “size” and deserves to exist in peace. We need to see life from the highest perspective or on a deeper level for us to coexist in harmony side by side.

At this spiritual choice point: you can choose to move beyond your limiting emotions to be at a place of love and peace, or you can choose to go along those limiting emotions, which wouldn’t take you far and can possibly cause you harm. Being able to readily process the underlying cause behind your limiting emotions and move to a place of love and peace is a sign of spiritual maturity.

Sometimes our action will inspire others to “up their game”, i.e., improve the quality of what they are doing. Sometimes our action will trigger others by bringing forth issues that need to be addressed. This goes both ways and it’s our right what we choose to do with this. An empowered soul would choose to evolve from this interaction, either way, by recognizing that we are interconnected.

Compassion for each other brings us together in Unity consciousness where we feel connected by the same “source”.
Self-righteous judgment of others puts us in separation consciousness where we feel apart from each other and of different “sources”.

No one can successfully copy your life purpose – only you alone will make the impact that God intended. For a copy of one’s natural or authentic expression can never fully replicate the complete details of the original impression intended.

Navigate above the fray rather than being caught up in it—as you may drown in unnecessary stress with issues that are not part of yours to resolve, that may take time and energy away from your true purpose.

For it is only your view of the sun that is blocked by the cumulus clouds, some dark. But the sun is shining as is evident by the illumination that its light created on the surface of the ocean.
So, keep shining your light! It will still make the intended illumination even through the “clouds” of all shapes and sizes that may seem to block your path.

Inner turmoil, caused by the guilt projected onto you, can feel like “being imprisoned”—which could become a life sentence if not faced and healed back to inner peace, with the reassurance that God knows the truth, and that’s what is most important.
From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
If you cannot comfortably “meet in the middle” in a conflict, integrity then dictates that you consider it from the highest standpoint to see it from the highest perspective for the highest good of all involved.
When any journey together has ended, through you moving up to a higher level of consciousness, a higher awareness requires that you keep that light between you two by parting with them graciously, grieve or be happy—if you have to—and be grateful for what they contributed to your spiritual growth through your “interactions” with them, good or bad.
Feeling like that was a missed opportunity to be your best self: Put yourself on your own pedestal which will allow for missteps. We are all a work in progress and even though we strive to always act from our highest and purest intentions, sometimes we may make a bad judgment call through our fears or pain. Do not let this misstep define you. Do not punish yourself through this by thinking you are “bad” and do not deserve love. Be gentle with yourself as you deserve love more so through this rough moment of your life. Just make sure you come out of this learning from all its consequences and evolve to have a better experience in any future similar situation.
