I've held onto a similar idea for the past 5 years since a divorce and having to raise two boys while their father 'disappeared'. The hardest battle I fought was to stay a soft (emphatic) person and still see the good in people (especially men), because the alternative is becoming cynical and stereotyping. We need to hold onto the hope that good can still exist and we get to intentionally swim against the current.

This is the kind of clarity we need in the age of algorithmic anxiety and caffeinated cortisol. Virgin Monk Boy bows to your rebellious softness, Cory — a true act of sacred resistance.

Your 7-Day Clarity Protocol isn’t just a course, it’s a reset for the soul that forgot what peace feels like. And in a world sprinting toward burnout, giving people permission to breathe is revolutionary.

Keep being the kind of human that reminds the rest of us how to stay open, stay kind, and stay lit from within — even when the world forgets.

Blessings on your clarity crusade.

Hey Cory, this was so powerful. I wonder though whether the word "soft" might also imply being fallible to hard times.

I fully agree with the sentiment, but in my eyes you are describing a sense of antifragility, where "softness" might be seen as fragility.

What are your thoughts on this?
