As I'm writing this, I'm multi-tasking (yes, I do it well because I've been blessed with female genes) and listening to a TV segment on how people have a hard time apologizing to each other. This is true. The question is why? Why is it so hard to say "I'm sorry" and of course, mean it. Is it because it means that we are admitting a wrong-doing and therefore feel we might be judged by others? Is it because we don't like to think of ourselves as making mistakes? We as "human beings" have to come to the realization that no-one is perfect. That we are all capable of failing, of being wrong or making decisions that have consequences. But learning to say "I'm sorry" (and meaning it) can be very freeing. It can bring you and the person you hurt to a new level of relating. Those two words are very powerful to building and maintaining a positive relationship. "I'm sorry" is not easy to say but it can go a long way to healing the hurt and pain. Hopefully, you won't need to say it very often but if you do, remember to mean it. There's nothing sorrier than an "I'm sorry," that doesn't come from the heart.
