\u201cYou need to be aggressive in order to be successful! If you aren\u2019t fighting, you\u2019re losing!\u201d \u2013 Business e-mail I received today.<\/p>\n

I was not aggressive when I worked in juvenile justice and I was able to stay in that field for 20 years. I worked with literally hundreds of teenage boys and assisted many in putting their lives back together and getting the skills they needed to make it on their own.<\/p>\n

I was not aggressive when I raised my son on my own and helped him become a kind, tolerant human being who sees everyone as having worth.<\/p>\n

I was not aggressive when I was in relationships and worked hard on being someone who treated my partner with respect and kindness while being as loving and attentive as I was capable of being.<\/p>\n

I am not aggressive with my friends, and do what I can to be there for them, to listen to them when they needed an ear, assist when they needed help, and enjoy their company when we are together.<\/p>\n

I am not aggressive with my podcast, writing or other creative ventures and do everything in my power to help other people build their audience if I can.<\/p>\n

Not everyone is made to be aggressive. I\u2019m not in sales, and I learned in a single afternoon in a outgoing call center that I am NOT aggressive when it comes to selling things. I\u2019m not aggressive toward other people because I believe that if someone has to be \u201cwon over\u201d they won\u2019t stick with you for long. I\u2019m not aggressive in my beliefs because I no longer feel the need to win anyone over to my way to thinking, we ALL have our own way of thinking and that\u2019s beautiful.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fine if you are aggressive as long as you aren\u2019t a jerk about it. But the whole \u201ceverything is competition\u201d grows more and more hollow to me the more I realize that together we build things and in competition we destroy each other.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s losing, then I\u2019m OK with it.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
