Just because I didn't have a huge reaction to thinks on the surface doesn't mean that deep down inside I didn't make a choice. Even though you didn't get to see me put on some display, it doesn't mean that there won't be consequences to your actions.
When I was very young, I was completely out of control in regards to my emotions. I would explode at everything and I was about the closest thing you could get to a living lightning storm. Everything about me was a living stress reaction to what was happening in life and I didn't have any control over it.
However, as I grew up, I started to become much more of an observer than a reactor. I quieted down and started looking at everyone and everything around me with deep interest.
And from all of this, I learned something very important about life.
There doesn't need to be some big reaction for everything.
Not everything has to have a big fight surrounding it or a huge display of energy.
You don't always have to have some big action that is designed to be a counter reaction to life.
And as I would soon find out, there's a great amount of strength in being graceful under pressure. Instead of resisting everything, you have to go with it and be more fluid.
And even though this was an amazing insight to have, there was something else that struck me.
It was for others to never mistake my ability to keep myself calm under pressure in the face of someone else losing their own character to be inaction on my part.
You can act...quietly.
You can be kind and gentle with your touch.
You can be calm.
Because if you know what is good for your heart and your soul, you will learn that exploding and losing control is only going to harm you in the long run.
It's a great thing to be looking out for yourself and for others as well.
Because I could raise hell, but I won't. I'm looking out for me, and I'm looking out for you at the same time.
Time to try on a different way.
