Sorry, Not Sorry

I discovered a YouTube video recently.

I love this Pantene campaign. I've been in the workplace already - mainly my senior year of college - and I learned the importance of being both nice and confident. Regardless of where I am, though, being confident and assertive can really help me in a lot of situations.

I'm guilty of saying "sorry" for things I don't need to apologize for. I don't need to be sorry for wanting to be treated with respect, and I don't need to be sorry for the way I express myself. I don't need to shy away from opportunities just because I don't feel like I'm good enough for them.

And I especially don't need to be sorry for the way I act, especially as a Christian.

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12

Of course, there's a time and place to be assertive, and there's a time and place to be silent. Regardless, don't let people walk all over you. You're too awesome to be sorry for who you are. :)
