Often we think that we have to put up our own resistance against a front that some other person creates against us. Being a bit confrontational can be thought of a pretty sexy...but it's really not. But in truth, there's only 1 thing that breaks down walls: being gentle.
We live in a tough world. Without doubt are there major acts of bravery, keenness, notability and heroism that run throughout the streams of hate - but the actuality is those acts of hate themselves really begin to place a great strain on our minds. Our past impedes us from living in the present, turns us into dismal beings on occasion and our built view continues our story until the moment we or somebody else comes in to help us break out of that cycle. This disbelief about life and humanity can be astonishingly hard and damn near or close to impossible to deal with. But that really is the point.
You really aren't meant to fight with or combat it.
You...are supposed to have a soft touch.
We need more people in this world who are strong enough to be incredibly gentle.
To love without condition. To give themselves regardless of being ungiven to. To give the world their best, day in and day out without any real 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 occasions when I had expectancies for those around me. Shakespeare himself declared, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." He appeared to have it right. When we predict others to do specific things or act certain ways we are going to often be disheartened. Do not expect. You can only control yourself.
Never let somebody else's approach about life determine your own.
Take into account that everyone seems to be going through something or other. It's easy to be hard on people. But I know that is not why I'm here. I have been hard on people close to me in the past. But now I know that my only job is to keep to my values and go all through life spreading kindness and light. What other people do is none of my business. Sure some of it "happens" to me, but that makes it even more important to keep true to what I am doing.
You cannot go all through life by keeping clear of having experiences and deep relationships with people. You have to put your heart on the line and learn. The only way I ever got to this revelation is by trying again and again. No matter how badly things go, you have got to keep on going. Truly allow the negatives to make you more bold.
Don't waste any time stressing 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 everybody is going to want to buy that. Don't fret about the folks that hate on your brand. Continue your journey towards building the best person you can probably be and target higher and higher. By the day let your goals get larger. Always be contesting with your potential.
Remember - be very gentle with those around you. Love your heart out. Strength is truly shown in very many ways.
