Make no apologies for who you are or what you stand for. And make no apologies for any successes or victories you’ve had. Most importantly, make no apologies for loving yourself and going after what you want and what you deserve.

Lots of times, targets of bullying, after having been bullied for so long, end up apologizing for or explaining away their perceived defects because they have been forced by others to believe that something really is wrong with them. If this applies to you, I want you to stop doing that! You owe no one any apologies, nor explanations for being YOU. Notice the word, “perceived”.

I want you to think about this: Perceptions are often wrong and just because others “perceive” you to be less than does not mean that you are. Stop apologizing, stop explaining and begin loving yourself.

Have a very happy Monday, everyone!
