Rebuild Broken Relationship
Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can
make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it.
That factor is attitude.
– William James
There is an excitement in
building something. There is an even more excitement in rebuilding something! An entrepreneur will be very excited to build
an organisation from the scratch. When the organisation is lost and destroyed
for any reason such as obsolescence of technology or competition, he will be
even more excited to rebuild the same organisation once again.
The same thing applies to
rebuilding relationship. I have seen this quality in successful people. They
can fight with people and part friendship. But they can also build the same
relationship once again. It is an important leadership quality. In the past,
you may have quarrelled with someone and parted friendship and both of you may
not like it.
Over this weekend, list at least
five persons with whom you have quarreled and work out a strategy to rebuild
the relationship. Your ego may stand in the way. You may not have the attitude
and the ability to communicate your feelings. You may be afraid or embarrassed.
Still do it. It builds your personality and you will evolve as a complete
person!
