5 Things You Should Never Apologize For

Empowering oneself isn’t about being reckless or inconsiderate but about understanding the innate worth and uniqueness you bring to the table. We wear many masks as a safety barrier between us and others. When we remove them, we expose the anonymous, mysterious, silent soul we’ve been hiding behind and reveal the truth of who we are. Lean into the uncomfortableness of your authenticity and love who you are created to be. With that in mind, here are five things you should never apologize for.
1. Being Yourself

What if I don’t fail?
What if I don’t get hurt in a relationship?
What if I am accepted?
What if I succeed?
What and if are two harmless words with incredible power to cause harm when combined. The power of “what if” has diminished the light within us long enough.
It’s time to flip the switch on “what if.”
Don’t get me wrong. I struggle with this question daily, and most of my “what ifs” are on replay, hearing the negative day after day. As you know, after hearing that silent voice scream at you for so long, the lie becomes the truth, my truth as I perceive.
