#1 TO ALL SOFT HEARTED PEOPLE!

-

People always told me my softness would be the end of me. That showing it would mean destruction, pain and hurt and nothing but unhappiness coming my way. “Grow a thick skin. Grow a hard heart” I heard this so often growing up that I simply took it for granted that anytime I grew hurt or upset by something people would tell me I’m oversensitive, soft and the world was simply justified in taking advantage of me because somehow I was allowing it.

It seemed like the crime was entirely mine for feeling too much. The crime against me didn’t exist because my softness was the thing that allowed it. So therefore, I should sacrifice my softness at the alter of my protecting my own heart, because there is no other way. Except…there is another way.

Listen to me, soft people. Do not allow the world to make you thick skinned to the point you feel nothing. Do not allow them to turn you angry and cold just like them. Do not let them steal that goodness from inside you. You see the thing that everyone chides about you also makes you kind in a world that is rapidly losing its kindness. It allows you to see ailing children and the need to help. It allows you to see grief before opportunity. It makes you tough, tougher than the parasites who have long since lost their humanity to the idea of being superior socially, or gaining something monetary.
You are blessed, you are, because you have something other people have given up, little realising how precious it is. Your kindness is the most wonderful thing about you and it comes from the softness in your heart, from feeling too much where others feel too little, from noticing the things that other people just pass by. Your softness is an exquisite thing and one day you will find someone who celebrates it. Who fills you with joy about it. Who values your soft, kind heart. This is who you are, and you should not have to give it up.
Do not give up the flowers in your heart to replace them with stones just because the world is a hard place. The world is hard because it needs more flower hearted people, not more with hearts of stone.

Be the soft person you are. You are needed soft. I promise you, you are needed soft.

#6 STOP BEING PERSONAL

-
There’s an old saying that when it rains, a certain type of person will believe it’s because the sky is intentionally trying to get them wet and ruin their day. They do not consider that it is also raining on everyone else around them, and the insects and animals and all of nature. The world exists for them, and when things aren’t going their way, it exists to spite them. This is technically called ascribing intent, and it’s not only one of the telltale signs of low self-awareness, it’s also a mindset that will do very little but hold you back. Sometimes, a person isn’t ready to commit because they aren’t in that place in their life yet. Sometimes, a person doesn’t show up for you not because they don’t care but because they themselves are in so much pain being around anyone else is nearly unbearable. Sometimes, less-than-ideal situations arise and it is not because the world is specifically trying to target, punish, or hurt you. Almost nobody is thinking about you the wa...

#5 DON'T PUT IT ALL ON DESTINY!

-
There are infinite decisions you make each day that ultimately lead to your next moment. What time you wake up at, what plans you agree to, deciding to stay in bed and watch TV, or what to eat for dinner.  And then we look back, and realize a lot of these moments created your life, your destiny. Whether you believe in full-blown destiny or not, we all experience those moments that were simply out of our control and otherwise stated,  destined  to happen. Kind of like hitting all the green lights home when you are in a rush. We all experience both those beautiful memories that build our confidence, and those terrible memories that attacked your self worth. In fact, we often affiliate destiny with positive synonyms as if it was curated in a Disney movie. And typically we dwell on the negative destiny. But destiny doesn’t come in a bottle with an ingredients label. Destiny doesn’t sway fully to the good or bad category. Destiny can be evil, unfair, and frust...

#4 LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

-
You need to trust yourself more. You need to stop second guessing yourself, stop doubting yourself, stop assuming you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about — because you’re wiser than you realize. You have a good head on your shoulders. You aren’t as hopeless as you sometimes feel. You need to stop looking at everyone else for guidance because you can figure out things on your own. You can carve your own path, create your own future. You have what it takes. You need to believe in yourself more. You need to take more chances. You need to seize more opportunities. You need to trust that you have what it takes to succeed. You shouldn’t assume you’re going to fail before you even try. You shouldn’t assume the worst is going to happen to you. You need to grow your confidence. You need to learn how to say, “I can do this,” because you  can.  You’re stronger than you realize. You’re more capable than you know. You need to respect yourself more. You need to stop treating...
