A professional association has run its course. Thank this person for the time you spent together. You never know when you’ll meet again.
The reason it’s so easy to let bygones be bygones is because you don’t hold grudges. You like a good fight, but you’re not into sour grapes.
Don’t try to sugarcoat the negatives – especially with someone who’s seen the underside of things. Telling it like it is can be strangely reassuring.
Be open to what friends have to say. You should never underestimate the insight of people who act as both conscience and memory in your life.
Opportunities are short-lived now, so make the best of them. Look for quick transactions and avoid getting hooked into anything long-term.
Put pride aside and touch base with your heart. This provides all the guidance you need to negotiate a difficult emotional terrain.
