Someone recently told me that he gets along with everyone with his niceness. He went on to explain that he approves of everyone’s behavior and doesn’t bother to tell them if they were doing anything wrong or unethical. I found this approach spineless because by being nice you won’t ruffle any feathers. If you focus on pleasing others with your niceness, you won’t add any value to people’s lives, you will only be engaging in non-value interactions.
The world needs more than just “nice”.
Are you willing to create cognitive dissonance in people who have lived their whole life based on unhealthy assumptions and irrational beliefs? Are you willing to question and confront unethical behaviors? Are you willing to inspire and transform people to be better versions of themselves? Are you willing to heal broken hearts and alleviate their suffering by teaching them new ways of thinking? Are you willing to take a stand and demonstrate courage in the face of opposition? If your answer is yes to the above questions, you will create an impact in this world whether or not people approve of you. However, if your answer is no, you will continue engaging in non-value activities and interactions from a place of fear than courage.
