Relationships are in
crisis. Any relationship… and when we face problems in a relationship, our
first instinct is often to wait for the other person to fix it. He
should apologize. She must change. They have to act first.
So, if all
relationships are in crisis in the world, that means we are waiting for LOTS OF
PEOPLE to apologize. To change. To act first…
Of course, I am sure,
in your case, not all relationships are in crisis, and that is my case too. But
this secret I want to share will work even when there are small problems,
disagreements or moments of doubt, and I am sure we all have moments of illness
even in the healthiest relationship.
The secret I want to
share is: you don’t need to wait for the other one.
Yes, both sides
matter. Yes, a relationship only works when both sides are synchronized.
But healing often
begins with just one person taking the first step and it is a show of courage.
Healthy relationships
are built on that particular initiative, the will to approach the other with a
sincere open heart, not just when things are perfect, but particularly when
things feel broken.
Reality is you can’t
always fix everything, but you can create the conditions for change by choosing
to be the best version of yourself, especially when you are with others.
Don’t underestimate
the power of a gesture, a conversation, a moment of empathy.
Don’t think your small
message to that person with whom you had a problem is just courtesy or it will
be ignored.
By taking the first
step, you are laying the first brick to fix a bridge between you and others,
which is often enough to start, to reboot or restart a healthy relationship.
