THE CRA PERSPECTIVE When Someone Hurts You With Words Choose Your Response. Protect Your Peace. Hurtful words can leave invisible wounds. But you do not have to let someone else's anger, ignorance or cruelty decide who you become. “You may not be able to control the words someone throws at you, but you can decide whether you carry them with you.” Words can be surprisingly powerful.

When someone wrongly says harmful or insulting things about us, our first instinct may be to respond immediately. We may want to argue, expose the person, return the insult, or make them feel the ...

It is about developing the ability to think clearly, manage challenges and keep moving forward. “A strong mind does not avoid difficult moments; it learns how to move through them.” We often admire physical strength because we can see it. Mental strength is different. It is largely invisible. It appears in the person who remains calm during uncertainty, continues after disappointment, admits a mistake, asks for help, sets a necessary boundary, or chooses a thoughtful response instead of an impulsive reaction. Mental strength does not mean being emotionless. It means developing the ability to experience emotions without allowing e...
