Words of Wisdom
Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility.
~ William Penn
It takes courage to recognize when a wrong needs to be righted. While apologies are necessary, and they do help, there are times when it takes more than saying sorry. It takes strength of character to accept that making amends is the way to set things straight. When we acknowledge that reparations are essential, healing is a natural outcome. Imagine if everyone was taught at a young age the art of apology and making amends as powerful tools for maintaining relationships and peace, it would make quite the setting for humility to shine.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.Sometimes the unfortunate reality is that you are not going to get the apology that you feel you deserve. Release that frustration, and free yourself from that expectation, you will be the one that benefits.
Happy Birthday!
