Atonement

Today’s (second) post is about atonement.

Try as we might, the fact is we are human and we cannot be perfect. There will be something we did or did not do, something we said, a mistake we made or a post we missed.

The most effective steps to deal with them is to:

1. Take responsibility
2. Apologize 
3. Make amends
4. Forgive ourselves
5. Move on

Learning the lesson and making sure we do not repeat them is usually optional. 

Note: a common omission and mistake is to skip the very important step 3. Don't.
