You’re not turning back the clock. You’re giving someone a second chance and if you want things to work out this time then begin anew.
The closer you get to your objective, the thornier things get. Like a bad dream, the more you want something, the harder it is to grasp. Keep going.
Endure the heat of the moment. It’s no fun being on the receiving end of a superior’s tantrum, but it confirms that something must change.
It’s tempting to say, “I told you so”, but don’t. You’d only be adding fuel to the fire. The atmosphere’s combustible enough as is.
Everyone says make nice, but isn’t ignoring red flags counterproductive? What you’re looking for is a fit, not a repeat situation where you do all the accommodating.
A loved one can’t see clearly, so it’s up to you to guide. Reminding this person of what he wanted at the start gets him back on course.
