NO APOLOGIES

 

1)-Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools, or move across country, always do what you really want.

2) -Never apologize for using proper English. Keeping it real doesn’t mean you have to speak Ebonics…

3) -Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn’t work out.

4) -Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself.

5) -Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level.

6) -Never apologize for ten pounds you need to lose. People who truly care about you will accept you as you are.

7) – Never apologize for wearing a weave or braids; it’s an accessory, you bought it so it’s yours.

8) -Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn’t mean you’re cheap.

9) -Never apologize for treating yourself to something special. Sometimes you have to show you some appreciation.

10) -Never apologize for demanding respect. You are to always be treated as a Queen.

11) -Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority.

12) – Never apologize for making a decision from your heart, even if others don’t agree YOU have to live with the consequences, not them.

13) -Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves.

14) -Never apologize for dating outside your race. Just because you found Mr. Right across the colour line doesn’t mean you don’t love your Brothers…

15) -Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There’s a reason she’s been your girl from day one.

16) – Never apologize to your old friends about ‘new’ friends; God continues to bring His daughters together to uplift each other.

17) –Never apologize for being a single Mom. Babies are a blessing.

18) -Never apologize for saying NO

19) -Never apologize for looking beautiful. You are beautiful.

20) -Never apologize for not knowing how to cook. Even if you can’t burn like Grandma you know how to order good take out. (Right Girl!)

21) -Never apologize for making more money than your man, you work hard and you deserve to get paid.

22) – Never apologize for changing your mind. It’s your prerogative.

23) -Never apologize for someone else’s Bad Day: A friend snaps at you and you’re expected to say sorry? Exactly where is the logic in that?

24) -Never apologize for being honest. People often say, “The truth hurts,” or “you can’t handle the truth,” or “you don’t really want to hear the truth.” The fact of the matter is everyone does WANT the truth.

25) -Never apologize for being alone. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, relish in the opportunity to spoil and cherish yourself…to meet only your demands….to listen to only your requests….. And to tend to only your needs.

26) -Never apologize to anyone for being single! Always remember just like God is working on you; He is also working on your mate and when the time is right you will meet!

27) -Never apologize for being educated and behaving accordingly! Your mama didn’t raise a fool!

28) – Never apologize for refusing to compromise your integrity. Always adhere to your moral and ethical principles.

29) -Never apologize for not tolerating bad behaviour, at home, in public, in the workplace…

30) – Never apologize for taking a break. It’s more healthy and beneficial to literally stop every once in a while to breathe, to let your hair down, to relax, to rejuvenate. It’s necessary.

31) -Never apologize for Investing in Your Looks. Its’ all about feeling confident, not about doing yourself up to land a man. And it makes facials, manicures, pedicures and the sauna worth every cent.

32) -Never apologize for hoping your children will be Cuter than your Friends. Honestly, your pals are hoping the same thing.

33) -Never apologize for being Inexperienced. That doesn’t mean you lack great ideas. So stop prefacing sentences like “…but I did not, I am not, I haven’t…’’ stick to what you’re training for or have been trained in and be proud!

34) -Never apologize for having a Crazy Family: Give your guy & friends a heads up about them, but never insinuate that their problems taint you.

35) -Never apologize for helping others. Be free, do what you want to do, not others, help happily where necessary, only mean people & haters will laugh at you and pull you back.

36) – Never apologize for saying exactly how you feel, only if you have every reason and every right to feel that way. Respect and courtesy must always be present though.

37) –Never apologize for the books you like to read (that’s if you’re a reader). You’re allowed to choose whatever kind of reading material you like. You’re an adult, and well aware of all the choices out there. If romance works for you, read them proudly. People don’t apologize for liking romantic comedies at the movies, or chick flicks. They like them. So what?

38) – Never apologize for where you come from. There is a good reason as to why God meant for you to be born there, it doesn’t matter whether you’re from Asia, Africa, America we are all humans at the end of the day, no one was born in the moon anyway.

39) – Never Apologize for Loving the Lord, for calling His Name, for Having Absolute Faith in Him, He’s your father, He’ll Light Your Path.

40) -Never apologize for being you!

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
GOD LOVES YOU AND HE ALWAYS HAS
YOUR BACK
