THE POWER OF SAYING SORRY

Nobody is perfect and we all will do something to hurt another person at some point in our lives. The
difference, however, lies in acknowledging that we have done something wrong.

Saying sorry just for the sake of apologizing is meaningless. We cannot genuinely apologize if we can’t
admit to ourselves that we made a mistake.

Learning to apologize is the first and most important steps in the healing process. Not only does it show
the recipient that you acknowledge their right to feel hurt, but it opens the way to forgiveness.

When we receive an apology, we feel that our offender recognizes our pain and is willing to help us heal.

While an apology cannot undo harmful past actions, if done sincerely, it can help undo the negative
effects of those actions. It gives hope for rebuilding and puts value on the relationship rather than the
individual’s pride.

Often times, this simple words “IM SORRY” are worth more than lifetime of excuses and explanations.

CHOOSE THE PATH OF HUMILITY. CHOOSE TO APOLOGIZE.
