She was so super composed. She was not mean or diplomatic. Whenever she spoke, it was never meant to hurt anyone. It was to the point and assertive but still peaceful and full of love. She did not get into any arguments. She commanded a kind of authority because of that. In fact, some people said that we are scared of her. I wondered when she never shouts at anyone, why are people scared of her? Well, it was her poise. They knew they could not fight her or shake her.
I asked her, her secret. She smiled and simply said, I think before I speak. She laughed and said that when I was small, I could not argue. In fact, I was scared of conflicts because I felt that I could not win. But I processed a lot in my mind and later on I used to realize that whatever I was thinking was right. So I trained myself to think, take a moment and then reply or say something. I started setting my intention, instead of getting into what if…. My intentions are clear, to state the point in the most peaceful way in the highest interest of everyone. And then the words come out accordingly. And because I know I am honest and I have everyone’s best interest in my heart, I trust myself more. I do not have to worry about what others would think of me.
Why anyone cannot argue? Well, it’s simple. You can fight anger but you cannot fight peace. I am peaceful and sure inside and that’s why people are unable to argue. Why are they scared? It’s their own insecurities and fears. They come out when they cannot fight.
Well, she answered it all!
