My Endless Need To Apologize

I don’t know about you but I have always been the type of person that feels the need to apologize. I apologize from sun up until sun down and all the time in between. I hear the words escaping from my lips and I wonder why it is that I feel the need to continually apologize. I find that most times I am apologizing for things I haven’t even done or that are completely out of my control. Yet I persistently apologize for all that is wrong in the world as if I have the power to change it or as if somehow I am responsible for it. I am working hard right now to accept myself for what I am responsible for and to not feel the compulsion to apologize for that, which is not mine.
