True Take 025: Relax. You’re Going to Piss Some People Off.

Being afraid of pissing people off might be the #1 dream killer of all time. I was reflecting this week on how overly cautious we can tend to be (me included) when it comes to not wanting to possibly offending someone else.

We can’t run from that or simply appease. When we are going after what we want our actions might hurt other people. But that doesn’t mean it’s always our problem, or our fault…or a bad thing. When we all show up as ourselves, we might piss each other off. But is that always a bad thing?
