Well, I’ve been through the process of trying to achieve the so – called “knight of swords reconciliation”. It all started when I was in a really tough relationship situation. There was a lot of tension and misunderstandings, just like a battlefield with swords clashing everywhere.
I first took the step of communication. I didn’t just sit around waiting for things to get better. I actively reached out to the other person. I set up a time to sit down and talk face – to – face. I listened to their side of the story, and I told them how I felt. It wasn’t easy. There were moments when emotions flared up, and we almost got into another argument. But I kept reminding myself to stay calm, like a knight keeping his cool in the heat of battle.
Next, I focused on finding common ground. We started to look back at the good times we had together. We talked about the things we both liked, the goals we once shared. It was like digging through the rubble of a broken wall to find the bricks that still fit together. For example, we both loved hiking, and we decided to plan a hiking trip together. This small step helped us to see each other in a more positive light again.
The third and most important strategy was forgiveness. I knew that holding onto grudges was only going to make things worse. So, I made the conscious decision to forgive the other person for the things they had done wrong. It wasn’t like I just forgot about it, but I chose to let go of the anger. And guess what? The other person seemed to sense my sincerity, and they also started to open up and forgive me for my mistakes.
After a while of following these three strategies, I finally achieved the knight of swords reconciliation. The relationship that was once on the verge of collapse became strong again. It was like rebuilding a broken castle brick by brick. And I can tell you, it was totally worth all the effort. If you’re in a similar situation, I really recommend you give these three strategies a try. You might be surprised at the results!
