Bitterness, resentment, and jealousy are like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. You are the only one who loses.
We all make mistakes, so we all have things we need to apologize for: words, actions, omissions, failing to step up, step in, to be there when we're needed...
Swallow your fear -- or pride -- and say you're sorry. Then you'll help the other person let go of their resentment or bitterness.
And then you both get to make the freshest of fresh starts, sooner instead of later -- or instead of never.
Rejection hurts. Sadness hurts. Failure hurts; sometimes a lot. So what do you do?
You avoid getting hurt by deciding you no longer care. But then you never get to experience the joy of connection, the joy of happiness, and the joy of success.
Choose to still be in the game. Choose to care.
Choose to live.
This concludes your life lesson of the day. Enjoy
