Today, I post another Achievement saying. This one is by 'Anonymous'. You can find the saying under the Inspirational Tab.
We, in our mortal state, often do and say things we regret. Sometimes we are too proud to apologize, other times it is best not to approach the person right away. And other times, we just don't want to, feeling we had the right to say or do what we said or did.
Our spirit selves often try to tell us this is wrong, but we refuse to listen. So when is the right time? It is when we come to our senses and realize our childness. Our world is a tough world and we often throw our shares of temper tantrums.
By taking the initiative to make things right, we have achieved one more step up in our spiritual growth. We live in a tough world, where a kind word or kind act puts a smile on the face of our spiritual brothers and sisters. Our world will never be Shangrila, but we can each make it a better world for someone every day.

Well said, Donna.
Thank you, William.
Very nice thoughts! I wish more people felt as you do.
I believe more and more people do. I know you are one who is this way also, Jennifer.
Putting smiles on faces. That is indeed our purpose in life. That's what my 5 year told me. Have you been talking to her?
Shiv, you put a smile on my face. As the saying goes: Out of the mouth of babes. How sweet. She is on the right path.
Often, time passes and we wish we had had the courage to say sorry. When we don't we are the ones who are sader, made much less. Thoughtful post. Thanks :)
Thank you for your comment, Florence, and you are so correct. That sadness just lingers.
The tenth step in AA is, in part: "...when we are wrong, promptly admit it." Tha's easy to say, hard to do, but it's extraordinarily freeing when we do it.
Thank you for your comment, Richard. It is a very difficult thing to face. I am sure it helps us grow immensely when we can admit it.
