On Being Truly Gentle

On Being Truly Gentle

By Evan Sanders


Oftentimes we think that we must put up our own resistance against a front that some other person creates against us. Being a bit combative can be thought of a slightly sexy...but it's really not. But actually, there is only one thing that breaks down walls: being gentle.

We are living in a harsh world. No doubt are there major acts of true bravery, fervour, faith and heroism that run through the brooks of hate - but the truth of the matter 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 pessimistic beings on occasion and our built view continues our story till we or some other person comes in helping us break out of that cycle. This disbelief about life and humanity can be fantastically hard and damn near impossible to fight. But that is the point.

You really aren't intended to fight it.

You...are meant to have a soft touch.

We require more people in this world who are tough enough to be incredibly gentle.

To truly love without condition. To give themselves regardless of being ungiven to. To give the world their best, day in and day out without any expectancy of return. We need a load more of those 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 expectancies for those around me. Shakespeare himself asserted, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." He sure appeared to have it right. When we predict other people to do certain things or act certain ways we are going to often be disappointed. Don't expect. You can only control yourself.

Never let somebody else's approach about life negatively impact 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 isn't why I am here. I have been hard on others ...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 other folks do is none of my business. Sure some of it "happens" to me, but that makes it even more important to stay true to what I do.

You cannot go through life by avoiding having experiences and deep relationships with others. You have got to put your heart on the line and learn. The sole way I ever got to this realization is by trying continually. No matter how badly things go, you have to keep on going. Permit the negatives to make you more bold.

Don't waste time fretting about things that were not built for you. Not everyone is going to like your brand. If you set a quality standard for yourself - call yourself Hermes - not everyone in the world is likely to want to buy that. Don't fret about the people who hate on your brand. Continue your journey in turning into the best person you can probably be and take aim higher and higher. By the day let your goals get bigger. Always be contesting with your potential.

Remember - be very gentle with those around you. Love your heart out. Strength is shown in many ways.
