It’s Okay to Say “I’m Sorry”

Wise words from our founder and CEO @mrjasonowilson: ⁣

“𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴, 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯. 𝘚𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵—𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.”⁣

It’s our job to teach our children when to apologize, how to apologize, and to never let our pride or stubbornness get in the way of doing what’s right.💙⁣
