- Confront yourself: Didn’t see that one coming, did you? We are our own worst enemy. The only way self-awareness and self-actualisation can exist is if you confront your own darkest self
- How much does the other person mean to you? If it’s about confronting another person then you need to establish that talking to them and trying to set things right will be meaningful and worth the effort. Life’s too damned short and people of value are rare
- Think long and hard what you will say and how you will say it: You can’t solve problems by belittling, bullying, and chastising others. I’ve learned this in life being on both ends of that spectrum
- Decency and due diligence: Be respectful, be calm, be patient, and remember quite often that which you project will be reflected back at you
- Find the right time and place: Timing is everything. Clarity and sobriety as well. The setting and atmosphere is also important. If you aren’t in the right head space then you won’t be able to connect with the person you are trying to talk to
- Don’t let problems evolve: Issues are like opinions. Everyone has one and sometimes they grow like cancerous weeds and multiply if you let them. Nip it in the bud before it takes root and spreads
- Listen as much as you are willing to talk: Sometimes you might only need to hear the other person’s side of what has transpired and their version of it might add some context. Whether it’s true or not, always listen, and then share your views
- It’s okay to admit something is your fault first: Admit, accept, and apologise first if it’s a small misunderstanding or some silly friction caused by something not worth holding onto. Take the first step in humbleness and take the step to make amends
- If it’s beyond your control, let go: Finally, and this is tough. If you’ve tried everything and nothing works, and there is no silver lining or even an effort made to reciprocate your own efforts at making amends, then you may just need to respectfully bow out. Sometimes cutting ties is necessary for yourself and for others to grow. A time may come in the future where you cross paths with different life experiences having changed perceptions and feelings. Or not. Get over it and move on
