Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 472 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Think about this concept which is important to understand: imagine a son didn’t listen to his parents and acted against their wishes. Now, doing the opposite of what his parents told him or had wished for a situation, even after the son apologizes and promises he would never to do it again, there remains a blemish in their relationship and this was created by his insolence or his wish not to listen. Now, there may be some lingering bad feelings and even sense of awkwardness or estrangement. Indeed, their bond and their trust have been weakened. If their relationship is truly important to him, the son will want to appeal to his parents and try to smooth things over and repair the breach and restore this trust; perhaps even by giving them a gift. It’s not something that is necessary, but it might help.
When this happens, we feel as though this is the cause for a blemish and often, we believe that this blemish is permanent. The truth is, there is no permanent blemish in this world, nothing that time and a responsible action can’t repair. You can say “you’re sorry”, apologize, perhaps even give a gift, and it can all go away.
Don’t worry so much about some of the things that you may have done to a loved one a friend, a colleague, or even an acquaintance. Make the decision to remove that blemish and don’t pay attention to what happened. The details are not important. What’s more relevant in this case, is the ability to make up, the ability to be together again, and restore the relationship as it once stood. Don’t think for one second, that this blemish is permanent; it is not. Nothing in the world is permanent. Everything moves on. What will remain after your apologies or the things that you would have done to make it better, is very simple: it will be the rebuilding of a new relationship, whether it’s someone to whom you’re close to or someone that you’re not that close to.
So why not be friendly, kind, and good to everyone around you? That’s a unique lifestyle that you can design for yourself and you have the option every day to be, act, and live a unique lifestyle; one that you wish, one that you want, the one that you would like. This option is given to every single person. Why not use it now?
So if there is someone right now with whom you have a disagreement, make it up and remove the blemish. You don’t need it, not in your life and not in theirs. You never know, this could be the beginning of a great “new” relationship. Do it and don’t wait. Do it today because you never know what tomorrow will bring. But one thing you do know, is that if you do make up, only goodness will come out from it. That’s my recommendation.
