Don’t apologize for being who you are. You’re just the way God made you.
Don’t be sorry for being a woman, a man, your race, nor having brown hair, blonde hair, blue or brown eyes. For those are the things that make you you. Be happy and secure with it.
Don’t apologize for being a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, nor for holding certain values- for valuing your god and family. For those are the things you hold dear.
Refuse to be sorry for wrongdoings committed by others. You cannot control others’ actions, nor should you be expected to pay for their sins. That is between them and God, and they’ll be judged for it one day.
You’re not responsible for any sins other than your own.
Too many people self-loathe and feel guilty for things they haven’t done, which only strips away their happiness and peace of mind. And if you allow others to heap false guilt on your head unjustly, what do you think they will do next?
Take charge of your happiness and your life. And know that anyone who tries to force you to feel something you shouldn’t feel or do something that is either degrading to you or that you don’t want to do, you should have no more to do with them.
Continue to love yourself. Apologize only for what you’re guilty of and to the person you transgressed against. And if that person doesn’t accept your apology, that’s on them, and you should love yourself enough to get on with it.
With knowledge comes empowerment!
good advice I’ll never live up to 🌸🌸🌸
Maybe “Sorry”is a message. Reconditioned response learnt in childhood as a self defense system. Sad 😔
You’re absolutely right! 💯 It is. Especially when the person has suffered serious abuse in their past. It gets hardwired in their brain to over apologize! Awesome point here! 💡💡💡
Very well said, Cherie!
Thank you so much, Michael! 😊🤗
I love this!! Thank you for all your love and encouragement! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🤗💛
You’re most welcome Karla! And thank you! 🌺🌷🦋 This means a lot!
Saying sorry for mistakes is a good thing
but saying it too much makes others dominant.
That’s absolutely right, Devang! 💯
Thank you for sharing!!.. “Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary” (Steve Jobs )… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door
(Irish Saying)
Awesome comment! And so true! I love the Steve Jobs quote and beautiful Irish saying! 😍
I just got off the phone with someone who I don’t agree with something….they apologized for being themselves. I absolutely said to them you never need to apologize for who you are and if I don’t like it…it’s on ME. It’s my lack of understanding or perception- but it’s also myself allowing me to be me as well. It was a great conversation- nobody got off the phone feeling bad ❤️💜💜
You handled it with grace and that, I admire! Now that’s the way to defuse a situation! I’m so proud of you! 💖🌷🦋🌞
