Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 548 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I spoke to someone today who was in a dispute, an argument with a loved one and they were adamant that they were not going to make up. Why is that? At times, we get into an argument or some kind of disagreement with someone that we love and we are adamant that we are not going to make the first move. That doesn’t make sense at all. Life is short and after all, if you look at the issue that caused this disagreement, it’s probably and mostly irrelevant. Why not make the first move? Pick up the phone, text, send an email, or go visit them and forget about the situation. If you’re sorry, tell them that, and even if you’re not, tell them you love them and forget about the disagreement. You’ll know for a fact that in a short period of time, you will forget all those things and they won’t even matter; and if that person with whom you are in a disagreement right now was in the hospital, what would you do? What would you say? What would you think? You would be terrified, horrified, perhaps even crying, so why wait until that situation happens?
So if you have someone that you care for, a loved one, a friend, a family member, no matter who they are and you are in a disagreement, make the first move, take the chance and know that it’s always better to be loved than to be right. It’s always better to be close than to be far. It’s always better to have friends than enemies. So make the first move and don’t worry about your pride or your thoughts, or even the ability to make your point. Life is not a classroom; you’re not a teacher and other people are not your students, so there’s nothing to teach, and your point was made. You’ve had the argument, let it go. Walk with them and go to a park, have an experience, develop a relationship.
I know that some of you may say that’s impossible because I don’t know the details or the extent of your argument. I can tell you that even without knowing who you are, if you’re reading to this podcast, right now, I could tell you for a fact that it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters in this world more than to be at peace with your heart, yourself, your friends, and have a happy life.
The whole world was created on the fundamental basis of kindness, so why not be there and use this opportunity to make up? Make the first move, forget about the details, and I can guarantee you that when it’s all said and done, you’ll be pleased with what you’ve done, what you’ve said, and you’ll see with the passage of time, all wounds can be healed and you’ll forget about it, it’ll be a wonderful day.
Make that happen for you, make it so that you and this “other party,” whoever it may b,e and perhaps even more than one, will become close again. Life is short, make the first move, and don’t worry about the rest.
