Hi lovely hivers,
This is my entry in response to the theme of week 53 edition one which is life transforming and touching for me. I think this is a timely topic that I can't afford not to share some of my experiences in this light.
I was super excited when I stumbled on this subject and immediately started thinking on how to share. I believe the little I will dish out might help and give a quantum leap to our personal advancement.
I felt like defining the keyword which will form basis and good premise for the discussion.
What does sorry mean?
This is not a new word however allowing it to find expression is a bit challenging.
Sorry is a feeling of being sad over a particular thing or incident.
Sorry means to feel regret or disappointed over an event.
In the nutshell, sorry has to do with feeling, sympathy emotional about a thing.
Do you find it difficult to say sorry?
There are different people with different configurations of the heart disposition. Our responses to anger is the function of how broken our hearts are.
Before I hinge on this question, I will like to respond to the issue of accepting being wrong with ease.
I'm the type that always find it with easy to say sorry. At times I can even say sorry on your behalf though I am not the offender just to maintain peace and tranquility.
When I was in primary school, I had a friend though not from the same faith with me. He has watched me very closely such that most of the attitude was obvious before him. He realised that no matter the gravity of wrong done unto me, I easily say sorry even when I haven't committed any sin or crime. He picked up courage and asked me one day how comes I find it with ease to say sorry? I laughed and wondering why such question?
I simply told him that was how I brought up. He nods his head and shook my hand.
I also remembered a scenario where someone came to me after I finished ministering with a need for money. After listening to him, I quickly gave him what I had and he left joyfully. I thought this youngman would come for apologies on why the repayment delays but months in and months out no any information. Later I met him in a wedding, we exchanged pleasantries. Instead of him to feel sorry for me, hmmm reverse was the case. What a life. Anyway I have forgiven him and wish him well wherever he is.
How did I move from that moment?
Living with such kind of mindset is not easy but I believe that with determination, discipline. I have never remain the same. I keep moving from one level to another even as I keep overcoming the challenges. To say sorry is a deliberate act and must not be procrastinated.
The few lessons learnt are;
- The possibility of saying sorry lies in everyone.
- No matter the magnitude of the offender, you can still say sorry.
- Sometimes talk to God for grace to say sorry because is not easy.
- We are all humans, you can still say sorry it medicinal to heal lots of untold troubles.
