Today I saw someone that I hadn't seen for a long time...
Not like "years" long, but at least 9 months or so.
This was a person that I used to see almost every day but that, after a few personal indiscretions that I couldn't let go of, I decided to reduce contact with.
I always envisioned myself telling this person my thoughts when I did finally run into them...
I envisioned letting them know how they did me wrong and telling them how they can do better next time.
But, when I saw them, I felt more indifferent than anything else...
I didn't care to let them know my thoughts and I certainly didn't want to expend the energy to "set them straight".
Of course, if they ever ask or bring up our previous interactions and wonder why I never reached out, I'll be happy to let them know.
Until then, I'm not wasting any more energy thinking about it, talking about it, or concerning myself with it...
They, like all of us, have a lot of lessons to learn...
And if they want to learn effectively, they'll ask questions and adapt accordingly.
Until then, as Jay-Z once said, I got 99 problems, but a grudge ain't gonna be one.
Until next time, here's to your 1% growth every day...
