Why Having Grace Is So Underrated

By Evan Sanders


Even though I didn't make some big display of what happened on the surface, it doesn't mean that I didn't make choices deep down inside about what to do. Even though you didn't see my choices, it doesn't mean that there won't be consequences.

When I was very young, I was completely out of control in regards to my emotions. I would explode at everything and I was about the closest thing you could get to a living lightning storm. Everything about me was a living stress reaction to what was happening in life and I didn't have any control over it.

However, as I grew up, I started to become much more of an observer than a reactor. I quieted down and started looking at everyone and everything around me with deep interest.

And from all of this, I learned something very important about life.

Not everything needs some sort of big reaction.

Not everything needs to have a huge amount of effort attached to it.

There isn't always a need for large reactions to things that are happening in life.

And as I would soon find out, there's a great amount of strength in being graceful under pressure. Instead of resisting everything, you have to go with it and be more fluid.

And even though this was an amazing insight to have, there was something else that struck me.

It was for others to never mistake my ability to keep myself calm under pressure in the face of someone else losing their own character to be inaction on my part.

You can act in silence.

You can be gentle with your touch.

You can be ever so calm.

Because if you know what is good for your heart and your soul, you will learn that exploding and losing control is only going to harm you in the long run.

It's a great thing to be looking out for yourself and for others as well.

Because I could raise hell, but I won't. I'm looking out for me, and I'm looking out for you at the same time.

It's time to try a different approach.
