Gentle Stregth. How does it look like as per you..

[TheWanderer]

Two random words.. put together and got me thinking..."GENTLE STRENGTH".

How does that look like.. in daily life..

When one tired person waiting for a lift.. gives up the space to an old lady so she can go first and he decides to wait for 5 more minutes..

Mother finally thinking of taking rest bt then getting up because her kid wanted to find something he lost 2 days back...

while typing this i got the clarity.. gentle strenth means being kind .. being considerate.. being there.. when you yourself is tired and wishing for someone to give you a hand but instead ...you be that hand for someonelse..

What is example of gentle strength for you..

Gentle strength for me is more of a character trait than any particular act. Coming home from the office and seeing an old neighbor carrying groceries, you offer to do it for them.
Sharing half a sandwich with someone sitting beside you.
Stopping your car in the middle of the road so children can cross.
Always washing your own dishes.
Smiling and assuring someone who is having a bad day, "Do not worry, it will be alright," even though you have your own struggles.
There are infinite opportunities to practice gentle strength, yet we will do it without thinking about it only when it is our own character.

You and @cheetra have really good thoughts. Kindness!!

Just think kindness from other perspective!!

Gentle strength makes you support relationship when it is not in good state. Your kindness helps partner to get out from vulnerable state because you are giving space.
Gentle strength gives you control, not to engage in fight. Rather you will respond kindly and take situation under control.

Many more things I can talk about relations .. how gentle strength is useful .. Hope you get my point

Gentle strength is when you already have a lot going on in your life but when someone you love is feeling low/depressed/devastated then you cheer them up and remind them to hang in there. You tell them that everything is going to be fine. Maybe nothing is going fine in your own life still you try to be gentle and kind to your loved ones.

For me this is one of the most beautiful examples of gentle strength.​

You captured my point with so much of clarity.
