Do you apologize too much? Or not enough? If you fall in the former camp, you’re constantly saying I’m sorry. You find yourself reaching for something at the same time as someone else and say I’m sorry instead of excuse me, go ahead. Or if someone is blocking your way, you say I’m sorry instead of pardon me, may I pass. Stop. Don’t give away your power. You’re making yourself small with your speech. You don’t need to make false apologies. This is how you maintain integrity of speech. Save your apologies for expressing regret, accepting responsibility, making restitution, genuine repentance and requesting forgiveness. And if you’ve never apologized in a meaningful way, you're robbing yourself of a great gift. To be wrong and see that you are loved in spite of your mistakes. I’ll be helping you with that in the future.
