Are you a sensitive and emotional person, but consider this your weakness? You may need to rethink your perspective. Your sensitivity could be your ‘biggest strength’.

If you are sensitive towards others’ pain and suffering- which is ignored by a majority of people- and want to do something about it, this actually makes you virtuous and strong. Besides, if you are highly sensitive, you might be struggling to cope with certain feelings and emotions, but you can’t ignore these emotions. They are an integral part of your personality.

Try to understand yourself, appreciate this as a good quality and learn how to manage your emotions well, you will find that your sensitivity is both a gift and a strength.

Moreover, this is also true that, most people hide their sensitivity in the society. They fail to realize that it can become a source of productive energy once they learn how to accept it and direct it towards a positive purpose.

Through meditation and mindfulness practices, you can develop the power to analyse your deep emotions. You can employ your emotional energy in a creative way. Transform your sensitivity into your strength.

Here’s how.

1. It Gives You Resilience

Your sensitivity might bring you in a low phase of life. Do not think that you will never get out of such a lonely and disappointing phase. By the grace of God you will come out of that phase. And then you will realize your power of bouncing back. You are sensitive and so you felt pain, and were anxious and depressed.

Make the whole situation your strength. Learn and grow from it. Your situation will make you resilient enough and make you capable to deal with any challenge in life.

2. It Makes You Empathic

If you are a sensitive person, you see things differently than most people. If there is pain and suffering in your surroundings, you notice that. While others may ignore the sad story of those who suffer, you listen to them with deep empathy and lend your support. You walk with them in their struggle until they feel some relief.

This makes you an empathic person, and this is certainly not a weakness. In fact, it would be a better world if there were more sensitive people, with the right mind set.

3. It Gives Your Life a Beautiful Purpose

Sensitive people are not meant for an easy life. They have all the power to live like a fighter just like Arjun. In Mahabharat, Arjun- the incredibly powerful warrior- was the most sensitive person who could feel even the pain of his enemies. But ultimately he realized his energy was misdirected and used his power to annihilate all those who were symbols of unrighteousness. The rule of righteousness became his purpose of life and the rest is history.

If you are a sensitive person, you can see what is wrong around you and fight to change it.  Your sensitivity makes you able to make a unique contribution to the society. It gives you a great purpose and this is your strength. Realize it.
