I recently came across a social media incident that really bothered me.

The long and short of it was that someone organizing an event had received a nasty email full of colorful language from one of the would-be attendees.

They proceeded to take a screenshot of the email without the full context and posted it on their social media. They included the person's email, place of work, and other such detail.

This got me thinking…

Nobody is perfect. People are going to screw up, even those close to you.

What will your reaction be? Will you get all worked up and do something to embarrass or destroy them?

I would much rather you gave them grace. Just let it go.

Quotes:

"Give grace to people when they screw up, reach out to somebody with whom you're estranged if you can, and give grace."
- Dr. Glenn Krieger

"You're going to run into people in your life who will piss you off. And you know what, it's okay to let it go."
- Dr. Glenn Krieger
