Oftentimes 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 as a pretty attractive. But in truth, there really is only one thing that breaks down walls: being very gentle.
We live in a tough world. No doubt are there significant acts of true bravery, fervour, notability and heroism that run through the brooks of hate - but the truth of the matter is those acts of hate themselves really begin to create a drain 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 someone else comes in helping us break out of that cycle. This skepticism about life and humanity can be astonishingly hard and damn near impossible to combat. But that is the point.
You are not meant to combat it.
You're supposed to have a soft touch.
We require more people in this world who are tough enough to be ridiculously gentle.
To genuinely love without condition. To give themselves despite being ungiven to. To give the world their best, day in and day out without any real expectation of return. We need a whole lot more of those honest people in this world. As I've found through this journey, life isn't about expecting a return. The times I have felt myself unhappiest were the occasions when I had great expectations for those around me. Shakespeare himself declared, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." He appeared to have it right. When we are expecting others to do specific things or act certain ways we are going to sometimes be disappointed. Try to not expect. You can only control yourself.
Never let someone else's perspective about life determine your own.
Remember that everyone seems to be going through something or other. It's easy to be hard on people. But I know that isn't why I'm here. I've been hard on others in the past. But now I know that my only job is to keep to my values and go 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 stay true to what I am doing.
You cannot go through life by keeping clear of having experiences and deep relationships with the people around you. You have got to put your heart on the line and learn. The only way I ever got to this revelation is by trying again and again. Regardless of how badly things go, you've got to keep on going. Permit the negatives to make you more bold.
Waste no time fretting about things that aren't for you. Not everybody is going to like your brand. If you set a top quality standard for yourself - call yourself Hermes - not everybody is likely to want to buy that. Don't fret about the folks that hate on your brand. Continue your journey towards becoming the best person you can probably be and target higher and higher. By the day let your goals get grander. Always be competing with your potential.
Remember - be delicate with those around you. Love your heart out. Strength is displayed in very many ways.
