Anyone in the world

I had just returned from school. Walking towards the living room, I heard my cousins arguing over something. The argument was so intense, they didn't  hear me walk into the room. So I sat down quietly at a corner of the room and tried to get a hang of what the argument was about.

After about 10 mins, I had a fair understanding about the conversation - one of my younger cousins had to make a decision about something. Unfortunately, the older cousins, had varying opinions and this resulted in a heated argument. 

The first thing that came to my mind as I listened, proved to me that my ABP classes are extremely practicable (at work and life generally). I moved close to my younger cousin and asked her, 'what exactly is your objective in making this decision'? 'What  do you hope to achieve'?  Immediately I asked the question, the room went quiet and trust me, the conversation took a totally different direction afterwards. Long story short, I anchored the conversation until we all reached a conclusion. 

Here is the process flow: After we decided what her objective was, we looked at the available alternatives, the pons and cons of each alternative and finally made a decision! 

It was amazing! I was so proud of myself!!!!!
