If you want to shrink something,you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,
you must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,
you must first allow it to be given.
This is called the subtle perception
of the way things are.
The soft overcomes the hard.
The slow overcomes the fast.
Fish cannot leave deep waters,
and a country’s weapons should not be displayed.
[For Personal Development]
- Extremes meet. Overdoing something might cause the opposite effect.
- Don't bury pain; it never really goes away unless you acknowledge it.
- Confidence is something you are; needing to display it is lack of confidence.
[For Coaching]
- Create a safe space for the client to explore a tough issue and find his/her own answers.
- Endorse your worst weaknesses. When you can accept and honor the worst part of yourself, you are more accepting of others [by Thomas Leonard].
- The soft overcomes the hard. A powerful message can be delivered charge neutral (soft) and lands fully (overcomes the reaction or resistance from the client).
