The number one thing for a successful reconciliation is you have to want to reconcile. Without this very basic interest or concern, reconciling any conflict is going to be very difficult. You also need to learn to listen to all parties involved. Your opinion or ideas can’t be the only ideas on the table; otherwise you have a compromised conflict which can lead to resentment from the other side. So, keeping an open mind about all possible solutions is a good start.

Self-forgiveness is tough because we are worst critic of course, but if we learn where our weaknesses are (and be honest with ourselves), we can gain insight and shape our involvement in any conflict…as well as learning that patience and tolerance goes a long way in life. The end result should always be a collaboration towards a successful reconciliation.
