Continued from page 1
I asked myself whether my ex-wife had really intended to slander me with
things she said, or whether she’d been speaking through her frustration and uncertainty of losing a relationship that she had shared for over half her lifetime. Had my father intended to discard our relationship, or was he simply avoiding me to save himself from having to deal with his own ex-wife who may have said some terrible things to him as well?
Get
picture?
Now, as personal as this is, I share it with you this month because what happened next was truly amazing. By taking action toward repairing
past and eliminating
negative feelings I was carrying, I rekindled some of
best relationships I’d ever known.
Look, I’m not asking you to play God and pretend to know what people think. However, you can use common sense and make an educated guess. For example, if someone borrows your car and crashes it, ask yourself whether they meant to do it. More than likely, they didn’t, so why end a relationship over it? However, if someone takes a bat to your car and smashes it to pieces, you’re probably safe in assuming they had a negative intent.
Now let me ask you, do you have any relationships that may have been severed from an accident or misunderstanding? In retrospect, do you think
person truly intended to destroy, upset, or provoke you? Was a bat involved, or just angry words and misguided thoughts? If you can’t find evidence of a harmful intent, pick up
phone, say hello, and let go of your resentment.
Let it go, let it go- let it go.
Keep Smilin',
