A
So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument，a misunderstanding ，the way we were raised，or some other painful event. Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindl
A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she would't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，“ I can't do that. He’s the one who should apologize. ” After a little gentle encouragement，however，she did de¬cide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingn ess to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case，when someone takes the chance and rea¬ches out，everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger，we turn“ small stuff”问题）” into really “ big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more im-portant than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go，and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you 're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'11 also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become less defen¬sive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But，if for some reason they don't， that's okay too. You '11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world，and certainly you'11 be more peaceful yourself.
