Five-Things-You-Should-Never-Apologize-For

It’s true that sometimes apologies are necessary – not because we are right or wrong – but for the sake of a relationship. Often, even if you believe you’re right, a simple apology goes a long way for making a friend or loved one feel respected and cherished. Despite the fact that we often make apologies when we don’t want to, that shouldn’t be the case all of the time. There are certain things you should never apologize for. The things that make you unique, your personal beliefs that are close to your heart and things from your past that affect your decisions today – all of these are part of the puzzle that makes you whole. While you might feel pressure from time to time to apologize for words you spoke or actions you took, here’s a look at a few things you should never apologize for.

5 Things You Should Never Apologize For

1. The beliefs you hold close to your heart. Whether your belief system is rooted in a religious preference, a connection with nature or even political viewpoints, you don’t ever have to apologize for what you believe. That’s what makes you…you – and, that’s OK.

2. Feeling emotional about something. Everyone has different triggers. For some of us it’s when we need a little more attention, for some it’s when the responsibilities of life and work begin to pile up – no matter what it is, you don’t ever have to apologize for how that makes you feel. It’s OK to feel sad, frustrated or even a little bit angry – so don’t ever apologize for how you feel.

3. Going after your passions and dreams. Your dreams belong to no one else but you – and you only have one life to live – so why not go after it like you mean it? Turning your dreams into reality takes dedication, hard work and a spirited passion – and if you have that – good for you! If someone comes down on your dreams, just use that as fuel to go after them even faster and harder. You got this!

4. Your sexual preference. This may be a tough one for some of us – people judge and it’s often very challenging to cope with those judgments. But you know what? At the end of the day, those judgments don’t matter one bit. You are who you are – and you are the only one who has to live your life – and, it most certainly should be a life you love.

5. Forgiveness. Arguments and disagreements happen in life – it’s simply part of living – and that’s OK. Many people hold grudges and find it tough to forgive, but that mode of thinking may not work for you. When you find it in your heart to offer forgiveness and others question you – ignore them. This is your life to live and you have every right to be a forgiving individual.

Have you ever found yourself under pressure to apologize for the beliefs you hold dear? How did you handle it?
