Getting Offended vs Being Offended

Let’s get rid of the notion right now that healthy, mature, strong people do not get offended.  Because they do.  It’s unavoidable.  No one is exempt.  So, if it is normal, and if it is going to continue happening, why aren’t we talking about it more?  It kind of seems important to understand that there is no failure in getting offended, AND there has got to be something more we can do with it rather than just be hurt. 

We can’t escape it, so we need to know how to deal with it. 

But listen carefully, this is really important.  There is a distinct difference between getting offended and being offended - and that is where our power lies.  We cannot avoid getting offended, but we have a powerful choice over accepting, allowing, settling into, and carrying offence . 

Let's sort all this out together, today!
