To be diplomatic is to be sensitive when handling conversations with others. Using diplomacy also engages the art of fair negotiation. We all need diplomacy skills in the work environment and also in personal interactions. To be sensitive to someone else’s needs is to consider their heart, their feelings, and the outcome to be equitable.
Usually, diplomacy requires seeing situations from the perspective of another. When you can do this you are a treasure to all you encounter. Diplomatic skills take compassion and empathy for others. If you are devoid of these two characteristics your life will always be hard as you continue to upset others.
Looking from a universal viewpoint, non-diplomatic people will always see the world as unfair and upsetting. Remember the universe gives us back what we put out in feelings just as much as actions. So, in reverse, if you know the art of diplomacy the world will always appear fair, equitable, and pleasant. If you have ever seen the sign of the scales on a courtroom door you know that justice comes in the form of fairness and balance. If you choose to tip the scales in life, your life will always be out of balance.
Diplomacy also requires integrity to follow through on promises and what you have stated to others. In essence, walk the talk and talk the walk. You will find when you walk in diplomacy your life will be much smoother than if it is the opposite. You might believe you are giving up something for another but believe me, the universe will pay you back many times over for your heart-felt efforts!
