Are You Too Soft As A Person?
When I ask if you’re too soft, what pops into your mind? I’m not saying your skin is soft and flawless because of the different types of lotions you’re using, but I’m asking if you are too soft in life that you end up missing out on the good stuff. In other words, I’m talking about the opposite of aggression.
When someone puts you down, do you just accept it? If yes, then you’re too soft as a person. The right thing to do is to follow your heart. Whatever you’re passionate about, you should protect it no matter what. It’s your life, not anyone else’s.
Another things about being too soft as a person is if you’re too lazy and stack things to do up. Think about this, ants work 24 hours a day without stopping. No matter what season it is, be it summer, fall, spring or winter, they are working their butts off. They can also carry more than twice their size! Wow! That’s freaking amazing if you ask me. How about us humans? How would we react? Well, a simple change in weather, workload or situation, we whine, complain, blame everything, start cussing, cuss at different people or whatever it is we do whenever we’re pissed and tired of how things are going.
You can add a dime on someone’s back and that person will start feeling like the whole world is 0n his shoulders.
That my friends is a perfect example of being too soft as a person.
Whenever life gives us hard times and challenges our instinct is to get scared, panic, start putting crap into our minds and whatever other terrible vices available in the market. We should think long term and know that if we think like the ants, then this situation is temporary. The ants don’t stop working if it’s raining, snowing or whatever condition the weather is outside, they keep working. As they are working, each of them fulfill their role and act as one big united ant colony.
Embrace challenges and know for a fact that all this is temporary. Stop feeding BS to your minds whenever hard times come. Why? Because that won’t do anything good for you except bring you down even deeper. Don’t be too soft as a person, have some fire in you and be aggressive in going for what you want. Nothing is wrong with being aggressive as long as you don’t hurt, insult or do anything illegal on the way.
You can earn billions of dollars in a year, but if it’s an unethical method of obtaining money, let’s say you cheat, extort and smuggle, then you’re screwed. You may not get caught now, but it will catch you and in the end, you’ll be the biggest loser ever by being in jail and watch your life drain out slowly and painfully while having full of regrets.
I find it pretty amusing that you can learn anything random from whatever is around us. Where did we learn from in this post? Well, thank the ants. No matter what situation they’re in, they will keep going forward without looking back as long as they accomplish their mission, then that is good enough for them.
So are you still too soft as a person after reading this?
If yes, snap out of it! Your family needs you, your friends need you and you need you. If you love those important to you, then no matter what, you will do whatever it takes.
