Five Dangerous Behaviors

We have all experienced the person. The person with the negative attitude whose dark cloud metastasizes throughout a relationship, family, business or community, bringing discord, disorder and disaster.

In order to maintain harmonious relationships, Stephen Covey in The 8th Habit says that there are five “cancerous” behaviors we need to stop, not only within ourselves, but also in others.

Complaining. Criticizing. Comparing. Competing. Contending.

These are five behaviors that destroy relationships.

Complaining. Nothing is ever good enough for the person who complains.

Criticizing. Nobody can ever do anything right for this person.

Comparing. This person compares people or possessions with envy, jealousy or put-downs.

Competing. This person thinks they are better, smarter or richer than everyone else.

Contending. This person tries to make other people look like losers, so he or she can look like a winner. Everything is a competition.

But until a person can say deeply and honestly, “I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday,” that person cannot say, “I choose otherwise.”

To deal only with the superficial trivia without seeing the deeper, more tender issues is to trample on the sacred ground of another’s heart.

When competition is used as a means of creating a self-image relative to others, the worst in a person comes out; then the ordinary fears and frustrations become greatly exaggerated. It is as if some believe that only by being the best, only by being a winner, will they be eligible for the love and respect they seek. Children who have been taught to measure themselves in this way often become adults driven by a compulsion to succeed which overshadows all else.
