Why the Solepreneur Needs to Stop Saying Sorry
Never apologize for walking the path you have chosen
I’ve said sorry for far too fucking long…
This apology has taken many different forms.
Mostly, I’ve felt the need to explain myself.
To justify my success.
To explain away my failures.
It’s a shitty way of living. To live like you are a walking, breathing apology, who needs to justify their decisions to the people who should have understood you the most.
A lot of risk-taking souls feel this way.
We’ve got to stop doing it, though.
Other people will always feel challenged by our choices. And they will critique the shit out of us.
They won’t understand why we are not choosing to walk the wide path, why we don’t go the safe way, or why we must risk it all for the unwalked future that we can see so clearly.
If you are resonating with my words, understand this:
If you are truly an entrepreneurial soul and you are experiencing being “misunderstood a lot”, then you truly are on the right path.
Being misunderstood is a signpost on your journey.
It is good.
Keep going.
You do not have to explain yourself or apologize
This has been a new learning for me.
To not care so much about the opinions of others.
To not let the critiques of a safety-first person hold you back from living the adventure you know you were supposed to live.
I’ve stopped apologizing for my successes and my failures.
I’ve given up trying to justify my path.
There’s no merit in it.
The only thing it does is steal time and energy. What to do?
I simply smile to myself and keep both imagining and working towards my dreams.
Will you do the same?
It is better to live wild and suffer the consequences of being misunderstood.
If you’ve spent longer than you wish, saying sorry for being you…
