What It Means To Be Tough

I explore what it means to be a tough person and what it means to be a soft person, challenging conventional views and opening up new possibilities to view our identity in a more empowering light. I encourage you to challenge the way you think.

This was very eye opening for me. I liked how you used metal as a comparison.

Thanks

When I was a child, we weren't allowed to show our feelings, emotions. Even physically, like if it was 105• outside and we are sweating, we were not allowed to act like we were miserably hot. My dad was the most stoic person, but not in a kind way and stoicism left a bad taste in my mouth until I started listening to you.
I've been raising children for 50 years and still find I get triggered by their disrespect towards me, at times. I must be very alert and aware and count to ten before speaking back sometimes, in order to be my best self with the situation, but can still fall short of my intention. I am conscious of how I want to be, say and do but they can still push my buttons occasionally.
Thank you for the gentle reminder and for explaining these differences.

Solid stoic wisdom! Thanks for the reminder not to take it personally.

Loved this 👍😌
