I'm Sorry

By Mike Monahan, executive director and CEO of Life Success Seminars, Inc.

Have you ever been in a disagreement or argument where the other person’s feelings were hurt? My guess is the answer to that question is, “Yes.”

Have you ever apologized to the other person, even if you felt you were right about what you said? My guess is the answer to that question is usually, “No.” When we think we’re right, we often believe that there isn’t any need for an apology.

But when we feel we’ve been wronged, we often move immediately to thinking we are right. So whether we are right or have been wronged, there is little room to give--either to forgive or to give an apology.

What’s that saying? “I’d rather be right than happy.” How does that work in your life?
