We’ve all been there—caught in a moment where someone we love or work with shifts into conflict mode. Tension rises, voices get louder, and suddenly, it feels like World War III is about to erupt.
Ready for a simple phrase that can change the entire trajectory of the conversation? Here it is—just five powerful words:
“I could have done better.”
That’s your mic drop moment.
When said sincerely, those words can take the wind right out of the conflict’s sails. In that moment, you’re showing the other person something rare and valuable: humility. You're admitting you're human. And you’re giving them a glimpse of someone who’s willing to grow.
I stand by this 100%. It’s always true—I can do better. And honestly, the person coming at you may be fighting because they want you to do better. They care. They want change. And if you respond by saying you want to improve, you’ve just discovered common ground—without a war.
Now, instead of wasting energy on arguing, both of you can focus on solving the problem at hand. That’s a powerful shift.
Let peace lead today. Speak with humility. And remember, you're only five words away from defusing most conflicts.
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."
—James 1:19
Have a great day.
