One leads to the other \u2013 in both directions – kindness leading to strength and strength leading to kindness.<\/h6>\n

Real <\/strong>kindness automatically leads to strength.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To many however, kindness is seen as a weakness. Indeed, a person can show kindness out of fear of being treated himself in a non-kind way, or out of fear to be seen himself as a non-kind person. Such fear is a weakness \u2013 but in these cases, the kindness is not real. This so-called kindness doesn\u2019t run deep.<\/p>\n

Real kindness always comes from deep inside. A kind person is kind because in that moment\u2026 he just is definitely – deeply kind. The work of really being kind lies in becoming so. You can work on it. It\u2019s a personal responsibility. It\u2019s also a social responsibility: to give to people the means to do this inner work.<\/p>\n

An example is how you personally manage your health and healing \u2013 namely by not automatically looking at disease as the enemy.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In psychosomatics, your symptoms are intrinsic to you. Gently listening to and respecting your symptoms, then growing beyond them, you also become a kinder person \u2013 and through that also a stronger person. Inner strength is acquired through gently managing your health.<\/p>\n

So real kindness leads to strength \u2013 and \u2013 real strength automatically leads to kindness. To many, unfortunately, strength still equals hardness – the reverse of kindness. For instance, many so-called leaders still think leadership equals bossiness.<\/p>\n

Real strength<\/strong> is not hardness. Quite the reverse. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A really strong person does not need hardness to assert or maintain himself, nor to influence others in some chosen direction. For instance, true leadership has no need for bossiness.<\/p>\n

Inner strength is also the strength to see the broader and deeper picture \u2013 and to not need psychologically defensive walls. In other words, it is the ability to be deeply touched while not substantially losing one\u2019s equilibrium. It is the strength to combine stress resistance with being \u2013 kind. Real inner strength can open you – to yourself and to others as you and as they really are. This openness lets you see that people are generally good if they are treated nice \u2013 and kind. Thereby, people also become kinder. Inner strength breeds kindness \u2013 as kindness breeds strength.<\/p>\n

Imagine <\/strong>if the whole world would live this through.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
