The Apology Project

by Jeanette Escudero

When you spend every waking moment of your life thinking of work, there’s no space for cooking lessons, walking, relationships, inner peace. There’s just the constant hum of stress.

I’m willing to say I’m sorry even if I wasn’t completely at fault because sometimes you just have to admit you played some role in the mess, even if you can’t pinpoint what that role was. It’s irrelevant.

to realize that there are people in life who deserve an apology, and there are some who do not. But then there are special people who, whether they do or they don’t, it doesn’t really matter.

And it turns out that apologizing really does set you free. It’s not about the person you’ve hurt; it’s about letting it go so you can move on. And most importantly, it’s about acknowledging when you are wrong, which I have been many times. Learning from your mistakes is a powerful thing. And I have certainly acknowledged that.
