When going the wrong way turn right ~ apologize!
'I am sorry'
I've heard someone say that saying your sorry is a sign of weakness. I think that thought was uttered in a movie too.
Fact or Fiction it's hard to say sorry sometimes and it's harder for some to say it than others.
Personally I cave in. I get upset not striving for peace. My ego can afford to lose now as long as I don't lose peace with another.
Life has taught me to say sorry quickly. It makes sense to me if I am hoping on success to follow.
I thought I could conceal mistakes or things I wish I didn't do when it's effected another person negatively.
It's not true, I assure you right now you cannot conceal anything, it's not part of the human code of our odd behavioral traits.
The moment you connect with another person to reveal a secret, that's the second it's set to be discovered. That's the clever ironic nature of a secret. Secrets are made for discovery.
The huge potential problem with not being open and honest about an error in judgment is that it will be revealed at a later more inconvenient and uncomfortable time just for you.
Solution: Be honest, you messed up, you didn't do something you were supposed to. Yes you will not like the feedback from others but it's worse if you tried to hide something that effects others.
From experience people, most all parties involved seem to be more relieved when admitting wrong and apologizing with the hope to repair the relationships.
In my opinion and experience I have seen better outcomes and doorways open up by just saying I am sorry.
I would say it when I was wrong or knew it would bring peace in a relationship for future successes to occur.
Peaceful Progress >>> Powerful Results
Think Well!!
