Joel Elston

This statement often gets pushback from a small group of people.

That is okay.

People can be rude, unfair, ignorant, or intentionally cruel. You may feel an initial sting. You may decide their behavior requires a boundary or the end of their access to you.

But staying offended is a choice.

Staying offended means replaying it, carrying it, giving another person’s behavior continued control over your mood and your peace.

Radical responsibility means recognizing that your response is yours.

Stoicism teaches us to focus on what we can control: our thoughts, actions, boundaries, and response.

The Law of Action asks a simple question: What can I do now that serves my life?

Address it. Set the boundary. Walk away. Let it go.

Just do not hand someone else the keys to your inner life.
