‘The
difference between Sorry and Retribution.’
Quote
of the day
‘It helps to say sorry for the word
sorry can diminish the tension of a worry. Retribution on the other hand
eliminates a worry and grants an individual the right to move on in the right
way, along the right path and towards a righteous future, showing by example
and leading by example.’
A divine and hearty welcome to the final day of yet another working
week in our life in the year 2015. With just 20 days left to greet a New Year
and of course a further 3 weeks of wrapping-up our affairs I think it is an appropriate
time to say Sorry. I am very sorry for all the wrongs that I have made in my
life but in particular for the wrongs that I made in the year 2015. It takes
courage to say sorry especially publically because it is quite embarrassing. 21
years ago I was inspired to start all over again but I still make mistakes,
fortunately my mistakes are not as bad as before. Today I say with gallantry
that I am sorry and I know that the mistakes that I will make in 2016 will be
new ones and lessening ones of course. This is part and parcel of the process
of growing up and getting matured both physically and mentally. Dear Friends,
it does not hurt to say sorry. Sorry diminishes the tension of a related worry.
A worry is about your very own personal lorry of how much of apprehension,
anxiety and fear it can hold. We all are laden with different levels of worries.
No matter what your worries are or how deep they really are it can be unloaded.
Sometimes it is not hard to seek assistance. Professional assistance can lessen
the burden that you carry with you daily. When I look at a New Year I look at
ways of reducing my laden. I look at the mistakes I made of concurrent affairs
rather than memories of yesteryear. Concurrent affairs are fresh. Memories of
yesterday are often a blur and can only be remembered with inaccuracies. I am concerned
about the mistakes I made in 2015 and more importantly I want to say sorry
openly for them. Sorry acknowledges the mistake but it is not entirely
effective. We need to follow on with the action of Retribution. Yesterday we spoke
about following on a gesture of Thank You with the action of Appreciation and
if applied as described creates the prefect results. Similarly, today I want to
drive home the message that a spoken word of sorry MUST be followed on by an
action of Retribution. What does the word Retribution mean? The word
retribution has many meanings. However, in our inspirational context for today
we are using the word Retribution to mean self-punishment for the mistake that
you incurred. Let us look at several examples. You accidently broke an
expensive vase and said sorry. Retribution on the other follows on by making
you to clean up thoroughly ensuring all shattered pieces are vacuumed. You then
offer to replace it. Sometimes this may be hard, especially if the shattered
vase is expensive or irreplaceable. However what matters is that you followed
the right protocol. You said sorry and followed on with Retribution.
Retribution is very effective when it comes from your heart. Your gesture is then
complete. In others words you looked to compensate after saying sorry. You felt
sorry and offered to compensate. The lesson learnt is that in the future you
will be more careful even though it can be quite an expensive mistake. People
will respect you for your decency and your noted gallantry. They will also remember
you for your noted decency and your noted gallantry. When you meet an accident such
as a collision with another vehicle do you say sorry are you prepared to follow
on with Retribution. Most people try to evade what really happened to prevent
accepting liability. The correct procedure is to say sorry and follow on with
retribution. You should ask if you could help, you should find out if there are
any injuries. If so reach for your mobile and call for assistance. If it is your
mistake accept it and learn from it. Try to remain calm, polite and apologetic.
Although your insurance will settle the claim be prepared to have your no-claim
bonus altered. May I wish you a pleasant Friday and as you wrap up your affairs
for the week ending on the 11th of December 2015, think about your
weekend. Use it profitably. Try to tie any loose ends and try to start fresh in
the New Year. If there is an underlying problem, let us work together to resolve
it. Help is always available you just need to let someone know.
