If whatever you did was on the side of Love that is the best one can do. The only possible regret would be lack of clarity in your positions. Sometimes creative solutions are birthed from cooler heads and sometimes it is best to walk away . |

To knit your family back together. Do you really love your business more than your brother? Do you love it more than God? Things a fleeting in life, what is more important a business that takes all you blood sweat and tears, or the time you won't have for more important things call sharing yourself with others? I have been on the receiving end, of the not sharing of themselves, I missed a lot, you can't get it back. |

People like to hate on others because that's much easier than to look at themselves and deal with their own issues. I'm just hoping they wake up to what they are doing soon. It started about 6 months or so ago.

Other times, it's a difference of opinion regarding how to handle investments but one person has the final say and does what he/she thinks best. This angers the others who feel their input was ignored. After all, when it all comes down to the basics, everyone is out for number one. It's always best if you can talk and keep anger out of it but family members are quick to anger. But, even when you put family aside, you see this issue frequently. Look at the "humanitarian" efforts our country has put into other locations around the world only to have the administrators in those locations swindle the money, or the people receive the aid and complain it wasn't enough, or sometimes they take the aid but then turn violent towards our workers. Look at the money we are required to send to the UN - way over what it should be - and we are still told it's not enough by other member nations who pay a fraction of our dues. Look at the aid we give to our own through entitlement programs and they still want more and show no gratitude for what they do receive. Hopefully, time will mend the rift with your brother... I know right now it's sitting like a rock in your gut. Try not to make this a permanent issue with him. |
