Like many (and for quite a while) I found saying “sorry” can be one of the hardest words to utter.
The sheer weight of it sometimes feels like too much to bear.
In those days, thinking about apologizing, made me feel rather overwhelmed by fears—of being judged, of appearing weak, and even facing rejection.
To admit I was wrong requires a level of vulnerability that used to make me uncomfortable….
….I am so glad I have managed to change alot of that.
I am so glad that i realize that within this discomfort lies a profound strength/courage where I can sorry much more now.
Yes, saying “sorry” may be daunting, I’ve learned that true strength isn’t about avoiding mistakes (that’s cowardice); it’s about facing them head-on and using vulnerability as a bridge to connection and personal growth.
Every time I muster the courage to apologize, I feel I am embracing my authentic self… after all we all make mistakes, and that it’s part of the human experience.
I also realise the other gains of a sincere apology leads to finding opportunities for healing and deeper connections.
The bottomline: Vulnerability teaches resilience.
By being vulnerable, I invite others to do the same, breaking down barriers that often stand in the way of genuine connection.
… where saying sorry is no longer the hardest … but the strongest word that has transformed many of my relationships with people and enriched my life.
