Oftentimes we think that we must put up our own resistance against a front that somebody else creates against us. Being a bit combative can be thought of as a slightly sexy...but it's really not. But in reality, there's only one thing that breaks down walls: being gentle.
We live in a harsh world. Thank the heavens there are there significant acts of bravery, fervour, faith and heroism that run through the streams of hate - but the reality is those acts of hate themselves really begin to take a toll on our minds. Our past impedes us from living in the present, turns us into pessimistic beings on occasion and our built view continues our story until we or some other person comes in helping us break out of that cycle. This disbelief about life and humanity can be incredibly hard and damn near impossible to combat. But that is the point.
You aren't meant to fight with or combat it.
You are meant to have a soft touch.
We need more people in this world who are strong enough to be incredibly gentle.
To truly love without condition. To give themselves notwithstanding being ungiven to. To give the world their best, day in and day out without any expectation of return. We need a lot more of those people in this world. As I have discovered and found through this journey, life isn't about expecting a return. The times I have felt myself unhappiest were the instances when I had expectancies for those around me. Shakespeare himself declared, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." He sure appeared to have it right. When we expect other people to do certain things or act certain ways we are going to sometimes be deeply disappointed. Don't expect. You can only control yourself.
Never let anyone else's perspective about life decide your own.
Take into account that everyone is going through something or other. It's really easy to be hard on people. But I know that isn't why I have arrived here. I've been hard on people in the past. But now I'm sure that my only job is to keep to my values and go all through life spreading kindness and light. What people do is none of my business. Sure some of it "happens" to me, but that makes it even more urgent to keep true to what I am doing.
You can't go through life by avoiding having experiences and deep relationships with others. You have to put your heart on the line and learn. The sole way I ever got to this revelation is by trying continually. No matter how badly things go, you have to keep on going. Allow the negatives to make you more bold.
Don't waste time fretting about things that aren't for you. Not many are going to love your brand. If you set a quality standard for yourself - call yourself Hermes - not everyone is likely to want to buy that. Don't fret about the folks that hate on your brand. Continue your journey towards turning into the best person you can possibly be and aim higher and higher. By the day let your goals get larger. Always be competing with your potential.
Remember - be delicate with those around you. Love your heart out. Strength is truly shown in many ways.
