Some people are sunshine and some are thunder. The world needs both kinds of weather.

Warm and easy to be around is one way of being valuable. Intense, blunt and hard to ignore is another. Being told to soften usually comes from somebody who prefers the first kind, which is a preference rather than an assessment. A group made entirely of one temperature handles about half of what actually comes at it.

Work out which you mostly are and stop apologizing for it this week. Then notice who in your life runs the other way and keep them close. The pairing covers ground that neither of you covers alone.
