I have been fortunate to have met a number of well-known people and visited many locales worldwide, often, due to my business, places where tourists don’t go.
When you next find yourself in one of these conversations, take the opportunity to ask those gathered what excites or interests them about an individual or locale. Let them talk about their own connection. It may not be informed in the same way as yours, but that doesn’t make it less valuable. Dear Eric: When I was 16, more than 50 years ago, I had a girlfriend who lived in a nearby city. One day, I brought a joint of marijuana along on a visit. While her parents were away, we smoked it in their garage. Suddenly, we heard a car drive up and stop. In walked her father, a policeman, and her pastor.
Amends aren’t about changing what happened so much as improving the future’s possibilities. We do that by acknowledging harm done and striving to fix what we can. So, don’t beat yourself up too much for what happened. You may be thinking about the incident through the lens of all the other substance-related missteps in your past.
