Think About This: “The word ‘reconcile’ means to restore to friendship or harmony. In each of our pasts there is something that might be restored to friendship or harmony. For some it’s a relationship that became difficult. For others it might be a lost opportunity or unmet expectations. It can be an old hurt or misunderstanding that has never been resolved.” “Whatever has not been reconciled in our mind we carry forth as a part of us that is lacking in order or harmony. Often the solution rests in allowing ourselves to perceive in a new way that is unencumbered by old ideas or outdated concepts.” “The good news is that each of us is totally capable of reconciliation – and absolutely in charge of our ability to bring this about.” ~ Ron Scott
