The Power of an Apology
apology brain games for the win not one more vet the veterinarians champion vet veterinarian veterinary vetlife vettech Aug 29, 2021Do you sometimes say something you wish you hadn’t said? Words are like arrows – once they’re out, they’re gone and you can’t take them back.
I growled at my Poodle brother the other day and he was sooooooo sad! I thought he’d sulk all day.
Whether you do it as soon as the words are out or do it later when you’re calmer, it’ll make you feel better if you apologize for saying words that might have hurt someone’s feelings. If other people heard what you said, try to apologize when those other people are there, too.
Sincere apologies make you look strong, not weak, to those who hear them, and they make you feel a lot better too.
I’m Kacey and I love veterinarians!
