I experienced such a beautiful moment of growth and love yesterday:
I was playing pick-up soccer, and one of the players started losing his head… frustrated that his team was losing, he began making some pretty hard fouls on other players.
I lost my temper on him, and said things I shouldn’t have.
He then lost his temper on me, and reciprocated.
As I was washing the dishes last night, I realized that I should apologize to him — that wasn’t the right way to handle the situation. I could have pulled him aside and talked to him calmly, instead of losing my temper on him.
I picked up my phone to write an apology text to him — and saw that he had just sent an apology text to me.
I immediately called him — I thought that was a beautiful moment to connect with him and I didn’t want to lose it.
We had a beautiful conversation and both apologized to each other.
We are now better friends than we were before 💗
