Here are 15 things you don’t ever have to and shouldn’t apologize for.

1. Don’t apologize for taking risks when everyone tells you to follow a predetermined path.

2. Don’t apologize for deciding to distance yourself from those who don’t treat you right.

3. Don’t apologize for loving yourself, for self-love is the beginning of other-love.

4. Don’t apologize for not paying attention to people who remember you only when they need your help.

5. Don’t apologize for doing what you love doing, even if people think it’s silly.

6. Don’t apologize for being simple in a complicated world of stress and anxiety.

7. Don’t apologize for speaking out your mind, even if this goes contrary to others’ opinions.

8. Don’t apologize for making mistakes you’ve learned from and you don’t repeat anymore.

9. Don’t apologize for having fun when everyone around you is serious, because life can be a feast of joy and you shouldn’t miss a moment celebrating it.

10. Don’t apologize for opening your heart to embrace new people, although you might at times get hurt by them.

11. Don’t apologize for letting go of those who negatively influence you, regardless of how much time you’ve spent with them in the past.

13. Don’t apologize for treating your body as sacred when everyone treats it like trash.

14. Don’t apologize for not giving up on your dreams, even if everyone tells you that you should, because you deep down know that life is meaningless without pursuing your passions.

This is good stuff soberwolf needed to hear this today

I am putting a copy of this in my "treasures". :tyou

These seem rather Buddhist in nature, are they? Sometimes I'm thankful for all of the filters I have that stop #7 from coming out too much!

All resonate - but especially number 2 and number 3.

Thank you for such a great post Soberwolf.

Anytime & thanks guys
