We are not accepting verbal apologies this year, only changed behavior. Words alone are empty if they aren’t backed by action. An apology should be the beginning of transformation, not the end of the conversation. Too often, we hear the same promises, the same excuses, but the behavior remains unchanged. This year, we demand more; real accountability, not just lip service. If you’re sorry, show it. Prove it with your actions, with the consistent choices you make, the respect you give, and the integrity you uphold. Words are fleeting, but actions are the true measure of remorse and growth. Change is the only apology that matters now.
