“I’m sorry. The two most inadequate words in the English language.”

How many times in your life, have you uttered the oft-used words, “I’m Sorry”?
Similar to all decisions, our Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality) plays a significant role in determining if / when we choose to utter these words. The mere process of choosing to utter these words, is anything but… a simple process!
Lets’ start by differentiating mainstream’s use of these words from people with 9.x DMQ’s. Yes… mainstream people use these words routinely, they genuinely mean them and these words are often received in a positive way by most. In this common scenario, life is quite simple and all appears to be Good-Enough.
What mainstreamers don’t realize until they look into the rearview mirror of their lives, how many times they’ve uttered these words, but didn’t actually change; so they continued repeating the cycle for years.
This doesn’t make mainstreamers bad people as they’re genuinely trying to do their best. They truly intend to be sorry and should be appreciated for their well-intentioned words.
On the other hand, for 9.x’ers, they have two categories for, “I’m Sorry”.
.
The first category is to use it with well-intentioned sub-9.0’ers, who use the words routinely, in order to communicate effectively with them. And yes, these 9.x’ers are genuinely sorry based on the mainstream definition of the phrase.
However, 9.x’ers rarely use the words, “I’m sorry” with other 9.x’ers.
.
Why?
Quite simply, 9.x’ers have the ability to look into their futures, see how
their current-day decisions will play out in their futures, and have the
courage and Intellectual Horsepower to do the right thing today… so they
don’t need to say, “I’m Sorry”… in the future.
Generating silence… resulting from doing the right thing… first… is beautiful!
So; how many times have you uttered the words, “I’m Sorry” to 9.x’ers?
Look in the mirror… who do you see… and…
more importantly… who do you want see?

Will you help us deliver Difference Making Opportunities to tomorrow’s leaders… instead of saying, “I’m Sorry”?
