Sometimes it benefits us to be passive: to allow life to come to us and unfold without force. Other times it benefits us to be aggressive: to bend the world to our will and actively shape the life we want. Are you being too passive or too aggressive right now? (J.Clear) How can you know when to be passive or aggressive? Perhaps a couple of thoughts to help guide us. Be passive when your next steps are unclear and you don’t know what is next. Be passive when aggression would be harmful to others. Be aggressive when progress seems stuck, or when others are blocking your development and growth. Don’t let the negativity of others stop you from moving on with your life.
