Being hyper-goal-oriented, it is easy to see how we can become hard-driving and uncompromising. It feels sort of natural and can give us a very big benefit as we drive towards the achievement of our goals. But with a little reflection, we realize that we also need a “soft side” of who we are. That more tender and compassionate aspect of our personality. Our soft side represents our capacity for empathy and kindness. It suggests that we can offer warmth and care to others when they need support or comfort. It really is an essential part of who we are, what our community needs, and how we show up for others, connecting at a deep emotional level.

Loving life when I show my soft side
