Gentleness is the strength behind true power, and it comes from feeding yourself with nourishing words, thoughts, deeds, intentions and all forms of food. Shield yourself from harshness by placing an intention to attract only kind and gentle life lessons and relationships. Transform harshness into gentleness by refusing to see anything but the shining light that’s within each person and situation. This intention begins with your relationship with yourself.
