The more honest you are with yourself and others, the more likely you are to offend some people. It’s unavoidable. Being afraid to speak up, say what you want to say and do what you want to do for fear of having other people judge you or look down on you or be offended by you leaves you living a life that is a bland shell of an existence.
The Bible says more often than anything else “Do not be afraid.”
Be yourself, express yourself, go the distance with your talents and skills no matter who or what tries to bring you down or be offended.
