David had to apologize to someone he cared about today and he shares some of the insights that he had through the experience and how to have the courage to realize, accept and make amends for when you hurt someone.

The act by which we untangle from our past by accepting what is actually was. Apologizing does not make us perfect, but shows our commitment to be honest about our imperfections, and steadfast in our efforts to be better.
