Adulthood is learning that your heart can be soft but your boundaries must be steel. Be kind. Be generous. But never let anyone disrespect you. Your softness isn’t weakness. Your limits are power.
Some of you think you’re blunt, but you’re not. You’re rude, harsh, and inconsiderate. You don’t “say it as it is.” You say it as it hurts and there’s a difference.
Blunt isn’t disrespect.
Blunt isn’t lack of emotional intelligence. Blunt isn’t talking without thinking. That’s not honesty that’s lack of self-control.
If your “truth” constantly leaves people feeling attacked or drained, you’re not being real. You’re being loud, insensitive, and honestly… the problem.
Blunt people deliver truth. You deliver damage and hide it behind personality.
What a lineup! This Saturday, I’ll be speaking at Career Brunch by @thegenzhr
I have a ticket for ONE person who’s keen to attend. You must attend or I will find you. 🫵🏽
