"I'm sorry"

I say it. You say it.
Everyone says it.
Far too often, I might add.

For what are you apologizing?
Something that you intend to fix?
Something that truly deserves an apology?

Most of the time, it's just a natural response to situations.

You bump into someone. You get in the way. You babble a little bit and realize it's probably not an interesting story.
You're merely existing. Stop apologizing for that.

Sometimes, it's a response to an actual problem.

But what does an apology mean?
Sure, you're regretfully acknowledging something that happened or went wrong. Maybe something you did, said, or even failed to do or say.

An apology is meaningless unless you intend to amend the situation.

Stop being apologetic for your existence.
Start following through on your apologies when you truly mean them.
Change your habits to make apologies less relevant in your life.
