You will piss someone off…
If you put yourself on the hook.
If you speak up.
If you make a decision.
If you create something.
If you try something that might not work.
It’s not a question of whether you will piss someone off. Someone will always be pissed off.
The question is who?
One aspect of freedom is that we can choose who it’s for — our voice, our creation, our intention. Sometimes that’s a hard, fuzzy, or implicit decision.
But you can easily eliminate one entire group: the spectators. It’s never for the spectators. It’s only ever for those in the ring with the bull, like you.
When you’re struggling with having upset someone, first decide if they’re a spectator or down in the ring with you.
