We cannot hold people captive. We cannot do it in our relationships. Let go of the transgressions.
As what it is stated in Ephesians 4:31-32 31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
So as with Psalm 103:12
12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

I cannot emphasize this enough but it is so important to be the "connector". I have come to learn this years and years ago, probably decades ago now, that it has paid the most dividends in my professional career as well as personally ..... how to be a connector. To be a connector, you simply connect people that need to know each other on a daily basis. I mean, literally, on a daily basis. Such practice or habit has its value/importance. It is so important to get an introduction to the other person or vice-versa. It cuts to about 90% of the bureaucracy, the red tape, if you will, by introducing someone to somebody because they assume that they have already been vetted - they know that they are a good person.

What can we do repetitively for 5 minutes that could change our life if we do it each and every day? I understand we are all busy, there's a lot in our plate but we have to organize our day. We have to build systems. We have to build processes that can help us accomplish things, things that matter.
If you want to read a book that could possibly change your life in a good way, get the book titled "The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How. by Coyle, Daniel". I do not get a quarter in endorsing this book, but man, it is that good! It is absolutely outstanding! This could be in the top 10 or maybe top 20 that I have read in probably the past 5 years.

Have the courage to tell people the reason you are inviting them to a dinner or lunch. Do not bait and switch! Do not do that to people! I want you to be honorable and credible in your motivation. Do not get there and slip it in. If you do business that way, people will lose respect for you. Guys, we cannot do the bait and switch. We cannot do it with our wives, children, friends or colleagues.

Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said, You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!
