Is kindness a vulnerability at work, in business? Being kind, aren’t we open to others taking advantage of us?
Many believe being kind = vulnerable, often unconsciously. Growing up many of us internalized that somehow being kind = showing weakness.
The problem and solution to this conundrum are one: our beliefs are operationally true for us. What we believe shows up in our life & work.
If you believe people will take advantage of you - chances are that they will. If we believe people will trust our kindness and will reply with gratitude - chances are that they will.
We can choose and shift our beliefs. We can choose to believe that kindness is power, no matter with whom and where.
When I made this choice, step by step, thought by thought, action by action my world was transformed.
Be kindly powerful. Do one act of kindness today, no matter how “small” or “big”, no matter where and with whom you are.
