I know, I know the title got you.
From the man encouraging and teaching how to properly apologize, now you’re hearing. Be Unapologetic!
Let me explain.
We’re all brilliant. Seriously! We’re all geniuses, compared to other creatures. And we are!
BUT, we could fear ourselves to death. We can blame ourselves to death and we could hold guilt until we die.
Some people consciously choose this way to live their life, but it’s not healthy!
When I say be unapologetic, I’m not saying NEVER APOLOGIZE!
I want to bring up 7 occasions when you MUST NEVER APOLOGIZE.
Pay attention and NEVER FEEL GUILTY to apply these.
#1 NEEDING SOME TIME ALONE - We all need time alone to self reflect, to pause to take care of ourselves. Alone time is critical for us to be able to reset and serve ourselves and others.
#2 SAYING NO - When you don’t feel like doing something, don’t lie to your loved ones. Don’t tell them that you can’t do it. Tell them the truth. I don’t want to.
#3 YOUR PRIORITIES - You know how in the airplane, they say put your mask first, then help a fellow passenger. Same thing here. You can’t be the elite version of yourself unless you’re extremely disciplined and consistent with your priorities. People who share the same values will understand and respect that.
#4 YOUR OPINIONS AND BELIEFS - Big one!!
Especially now. It’s great to come out with your honest opinion and be willing and open to change it in case you find new valid information. That’s how we learn folks, we share our opinions and we realize we are wrong sometimes. But what’s dangerous is to take someone else’s opinion based on loyalty, especially if you don’t agree with it in your core. That will ruin your integrity - Which means to be loyal to yourself first
#5TELLING THE TRUTH WITHOU A TWIST
Never apologize for telling the truth! Say it the way it is, without minimizing.
It’s hard, it’s scandalous, it’s scary.
True FREEDOM is on the other side!
Honesty means to tell the truth to others.
Maturity means to tell the truth to yourself.
#6 HAVING HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Stop negotiating with yourself. Get to know the people in your life and ask them the hard questions. Have proper expectations.
Most people who have been hurt before, learn to really lower their expectations and they are more often grateful and pleasantly surprised.
When we have very high expectations, we are disappointed most of the time
# 7 CHASING YOUR DREAMS
Your dreams come from God. He had a plan for you, before you were born. Your plan, fits with his Master plan unless you sell your dream for security, stability and comfort or you give up.
Never give up on your dreams, they came to you before all of your struggles, successes, your spouse, your kids. Never stop chasing your dreams. This is who you really are!
GIVE no apology in these 7 occasions and GET the peace you need to become the elite version of you
