Well said-“We often believe that the strongest individual, the one with the most power, is the one who is the loudest, most vocal, most, to some degree, obnoxious. I would argue, however, that it is in fact the individual who holds a steady hand in times of emotional distress, the individual who does not yell, who holds full control over their emotional state who is the most powerful.” The ability to keep yourself grounded and calm in the midst of others and their lack of self control is a superpower-it takes practice, patience, and persistence-and it’s worth the battle with yourself. To me, it’s the difference between growth or regression-between maturity or immaturity-it doesn’t come easily and needs some assistance and guidance from mature mentors-thank you for your contribution in helping us grow up and put away childish notions.
Perfectly summarized. Yes, I believe it takes a lot of work, and is such a hard target to hit. But through repetition and training, I think it is definitely doable.
