I have decided
that I want only soft people in my life.
Soft people are those who are: well…
“SOFT” Soft people are loving,
kind, empathetic, caring, understanding,
giving and a little spiritual. Soft people
see their own inner beauty and they help
those around them see their inner beauty.
The people they are around leave feeling
good about themselves. I remember a quote
that I once read that to me was very profound,
of which I will always remember because
it is so true. “People do not remember
what you did for them, but they remember
how you made them feel.”
Have you ever
said, “Well, I don’t like so
and so?” It is not so much that we
dislike so and so..., but it is a matter
of how we feel about ourselves when we are
around those who we feel we do not like.
We always enjoy being around people where
we feel comfortable and good about ourselves.
We like those people and we like being around
them, looking forward to spending more time
with them. If we feel negative in anyway
about ourselves when we are around certain
people; in actuality we are feeling dislike
towards ourselves. We are uncomfortable
and then we think or say... “I don't
like so and so.”
Of course
this is not always true and not the only
criteria to becoming a soft person, but
for the most part I believe people become
soft when they have had difficult times,
been hurt and had to pick them selves up
by the boot straps... hanging in there and
never giving up. After much self reflection
they eventually learn to love and respect
their self in a healthy way. They begin
to see the beauty of who they are reflecting
it back to everyone they meet. Others feel
this wonderful soft energy and want more
of it.
I also believe
there are special souls in this world who
are born knowing their inner beauty and
never lose site of it. These people are
the angels in our lives.
For the most
part though, unless you know first hand
what difficult times are or felt pain, it
is much more difficult to have empathy for
those who have. Sadly, there are some people
who never become soft. They do not go through
experiences that allow them to see what
hurt and difficult times are like. They
can become hard, opinionated and have no
empathy towards others. There are also those
who have been hurt and had to face difficult
times in their life, but they become bitter
and angry; they become hardened never knowing
the joy of their inner beauty much less
the inner beauty of others. They have closed
the door on their own inner beauty, never
feeling the joy of loving who they are or
realizing their own perfection or the perfection
of those around them.
Everyone can
become a soft person if they want to be.
The most difficult part of becoming a soft
person is first finding your own inner beauty
and joyfully loving yourself. Next is seeing
the inner beauty of all those around you
and joyfully loving and sharing your positive
energy. When you do, you will radiate softness,
drawing other soft people to you. For the
most part hard people will avoid you. The
positive energy that surrounds you makes
them feel uncomfortable. But there are hard
people who will feel the warmth of your
positive energy and want more of it. They
will have an innate knowing and a strong
desire to become soft. On the occasions
when you are around hard people, you will
find that they have no negative effect on
you. This is because you are wonderfully
soft... incased in your own armor of love
and beauty. You are centered and nothing
can take you off center, not even the negative
energy of hard people.
I want to be a soft person
and I want to have soft people all around
me.
