Quotes About Sensitive

  • I'm a human being, I cry, I'm actually extremely sensitive, my feelings get hurt, I get scared, and I get nervous just like everyone else.

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 8:7 (MSG) In strict logic, then, nothing happened to the meat when it was offered up to an idol. It’s just like any other meat. I know that, and you know that. But knowing isn’t everything. If it becomes everything, some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others as know-nothings. Real knowledge isn’t that insensitive. We need to be sensitive to the fact that we’re not all at the same level of understanding in this. Some of you have spent your entire lives eating “idol meat,” and are sure that there’s something bad in the meat that then becomes something bad inside of you. An imagination and conscience shaped under those conditions isn’t going to change overnight.

Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, known simply as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet and spiritual teacher. Through the use of metaphorical and allegorical language, Rumi’s writing reflected his interest in the divine and the interconnectedness among all living things. His poetry continues to be a relevant source of inspiration today, addressing life’s complexities and the quest for meaning and mindfulness. This quote draws a parallel between the nourishing impact of rainfall and the nurturing power of words, gently reminding us that both play a pivotal role in fostering growth. On the other hand, anger can obstruct that growth, so we must be careful with our words and how we deliver them. Just as a plant flourishes with the appropriate amount of rainfall, so too does a person thrive with encouragement and support.

Speak Into People's Lives = Speak into people's lives. Everyday people are looking for direction and wondering if they are making the right decision. One of the things that is very affirming to them is when someone comes alongside them and speaks into their life because they care for them and want the best for them. Speaking into one's life is giving someone words they need to hear, and it goes to a new level because it is all about them, their success, and who they can become.

Leaders are Powerful Persuaders for their People | MWM
Be A Persuader = Persuasion is motivation. Leaders motivate others—not for their own advantage—but for the benefit of those they lead. Leaders make things better for others through persuasion. What have you experienced, that has been good for you, that you can now persuade others to act on?



Leaders are Persuaders
Persuasion is all about motivation. Great leaders motivate others to do something worthwhile that they wouldn’t otherwise do for themselves without that initial “push.” Often, it takes our own experiences with persuasion to bring us to a place where we have the ability to effectively and positively persuade others. In what areas of your life have you been persuaded for good?
