5 Languages of Apology

Just as it's ideal to learn how to love a person the way he/she loves to be loved, it's also equally or even more important to learn how to apologize. An apology is needed when hurt has been inflicted or harm has been done. It's a wonderful language to master as it has power to break the coldest heart.

5 Languages of Apology
- Expressing Regret: I am sorry.
- Accept Responsibility: I did it and I was wrong.
- Making Restitution: Find the person's love language and practice it
- Genuinely Repent: I won't do it again
- Request Forgiveness: Please forgive me

I reckoned that ultimately, it doesn't matter if we mastered these 5 languages. More importantly, we apologize with our heart and with it comes actions. Heartfelt apology can be felt.
