The meek shall inherit the earth

After watching Jon Stewart interview Jimmy Carter moments ago, I was struck by how mild and soft spoken Carter is. I’ve never seen any footage of him freaking out. Never seen anyone throw a shoe at him. He works for peace and does so in a method that isn’t calling on him to act in a manner different from his authentic self. No puffery.

I reflect on this because so often I give pause to how I’m speaking with others. My tone. My sound levels. My body language. Important stuff folks and I’d encourage you to try it. We are in the Obama age after all!

Now to quote my favouite Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan, “make sure to project calm, assertive energy’.
