There is this incredible freedom that comes when you
simply cannot be offended.
You have more inner peace, stronger relationships and
just more joy in your days.
In order to never be offended by something someone
says, I think we need to first put them in one of two buckets, then
unpack from there.
They are either in your inner circle or not in your inner circle.
If they are - then you love them unconditionally and
you know they aren’t perfect, just like all of us, and we have bad
days or bad moments or less than ideal reactions. Or we let
our own issues come out and onto someone else. You know the
bond you have and the person they are at, at their core, and you
aren’t going to catastrophise it.
And if they aren’t in your inner circle - it’s not
worth your energy. There’s no reason to put weight on
whatever it is when they aren’t your do-anything-for-crew.
And here’s the main thing - we know that 90% of
judgment or criticism or rude comments comes from peoples own
thoughts about themselves… not actually about us. And it’s through
the lens they see the world through.
It’s about getting to a point when your own opinion
of yourself weights more heavily than anyone else. It’s this
deep confidence and ability to reframe the situation that is
key.
I think it is totally a super power if you can get to
where you simply aren’t offended… and that’s why we’re podcasting
about it today!
