00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,700
We all have times when we offend other people.

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,800
Any time we become aware of an offense we’ve 
caused,

3
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:17,700
we shouldn’t justify ourselves in an attempt 
to avoid apologizing.

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,700
The fact our actions hurt someone should 
be reason enough to offer a sincere apology.

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,500
That means it must be more than a flippant 
“I’m sorry.”

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,200
Apologize in a way you won’t minimize their 
feelings or excuse your actions,

7
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:37,200
but you will instead respectfully validate 
your care for them.

8
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:46,600
As Elizabeth Craft stated: “The key is to 
apologize in a way that the person actually 
feels like you’re sorry and you mean it.”

9
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:54,100
My challenge for you today is: learn how 
to apologize well. I’m Mac Hammond; this
