When Someone Hurts You With Words : Choose Your Response. Protect Your Peace.

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 ...

Mental strength does not mean being emotionless. It means developing the ability to experience emotions without allowing e...

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Physical Strength Build a Stronger Body. Live a Stronger Life. Physical strength is more than muscles and appearance. It is the capacity to move, work, endure, recover and participate fully in the life you want to live. “A strong body is not merely something to display. It is something that allows you to experience life.” When people hear the words physical strength , they often imagine muscular bodies, heavy weights and athletic performance. But physical strength has a much broader meaning. It includes the ability to walk comfortably, climb stairs, carry everyday objects, maintain balance, recover from physical effort and remain capable of performing the activities that matter to us. Physical strength is therefore not simply about how m...
