Making The First Move

People often ask: Why do I always have to be the one to bridge the communication gap? Why do I always have to be the one that apologizes first? That answer is: Because you can, and because by doing so, you contribute to happiness, and both yourself and the other person accomplishing their goals. My goal is to always be the one to rapidly catch myself being resentful or angry or uncommunicative and make the shift first. Whose apology are you waiting for? Who needs you to reach out first?
