Are you ready for another not-so-easy challenge?

You’re going to have to face your guilt, shame, and/or remorse for this one…

I want you to think of a time you were in the wrong. Dig deep, sift through your life carefully, and find a moment you’re not proud of.

Once you have decided on the memory to face, I want you to reach out to whomever you impacted and apologize for that moment. Regardless of how long ago the event happened, how overdue the apology may seem, or how relevant it feels now, build up the courage to apologize. 

Wait until you’re confident and ready, but by the day’s end, I want you to have apologized for something that happened at some time. Even if it feels silly now, find it within yourself to just do it.

Take note on how you feel after you apologize, and before you receive the response. Then notice how you feel after you receive a response – if any. 

Before replying to any response you may get, make sure you’re still grounded in your genuine apologetic frame of mind. 

Reflect on this experience not only at today’s end, but at the end of the week, then the month, then the year… See how offering your vulnerability today impacts your life as you move forward.

Do you have the courage to accept today’s challenge?
