Sometimes people confuse a light touch and soft voice for… ineffectiveness… shallowness.
We’re so used to the big hammer and bright light—the hard line, the go-go bro culture.
All those movies with the fast cars and suitcases stuffed with cash…. James Bond style.
All those rah-rah coaches sweeping over the stage, telling you how to live. We think that that’s playing the Big Game.
So if you show up softly or as just quietly efficient, you’re passed over.
And while we talk a whole line about the power of “feminine” energy, we still look to those who are stronger, bolder, and harder, and we frankly run after them for guidance, forgetting ourselves and our own unique inner power.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
