My Life Philosophy on How to Lead with Kindness
Why there is no such thing as being too kind...
Have you ever been told you're "too kind" for this world? Or perhaps, you've adopted the mask of toughness, thinking it's the only way to conceal your vulnerabilities.
No matter where you are, here's a secret...
There's no such thing as being "too kind." The key lies in setting boundaries, stopping people-pleasing habits, and gracefully distancing yourself from negativity.
My philosophy about kindness acknowledges the necessity of setting boundaries— recognizing that while kindness knows no bounds, healthy relationships require discernment.
It advocates for a balance between unwavering kindness and self-preservation. The narrative also addresses the pitfalls of people-pleasing, urging individuals to distinguish genuine kindness from actions fueled by external validation.
The concept of graceful distancing from negativity underscores the understanding that kindness coexists with the power to choose environments and relationships that nurture personal growth.
If someone told you to be tougher or if you felt you had to act arrogant, my book, The Path of Powerful Kindness: A Return to Humanness, is made especially for you. It’s your guide to breaking free from the layers hiding your true self—the natural leader in you, full of empathy and compassion.
This is my invitation to enrich your life experiences, deepen relationships, and lead with authenticity. And the journey begins by looking within and questioning your paradigm...
What have you believed throughout your life? Have you seen kindness as a weakness? Have you given up on the possibility of mature, noble, and kind leaders?
When I was seven years old, I learned a profound lesson about kindness not equating to weakness through the story of "Turning the Other Cheek."
The message was clear...
Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and bless those who curse you. Turning the other cheek became my life mantra, reflecting a powerful inner state full of grace and dignity.
By staying calm, kind, and compassionate, I realized the true power of the story...
The aggressive one became weak, losing control over emotions, while the one who turned the other cheek stood strong in peace and calm.
Today, I invite you to embrace this transformative power within yourself. It's a journey to reconnect with your true strength and lead with grace and authenticity.
May you be guided by kindness always.
Much love, Barbara
