I have a lot of time for the unassuming.
There are characters who are ‘larger than life’ and have that imposing personality where they dominate every place they go to. They are the life and soul of the party. Everything must revolve around them. If there’s a conversation going on, they’ll find a way to bring it back round to them. It works for them. It’s what they’re used to.
Then there are the unassuming.
What I love about some of the unassuming is how they are not that fussed about dominating anything. They’re more interested in picking up what the situation is. They want to study the dynamics of the environment. They check out the scene.
Once they do that, then they’re in a better informed position to know how to make an impact or have a significant influence. The beauty of these unassuming types as well is that their idea of significant influence reflects their approach to life, they don’t have to get the credit, they don’t have to garner praise, they just want to see change for the better.
That requires a great deal of humility, meekness and wisdom to achieve that.
