"[Music] In a Verdant Wood there lived an ancient wolf named Hagar. He was known for his wisdom and composure, always observing the world around him in silence. One day, as Ragnar was walking through the forest, he came across an angry chicken cackling and flapping its wings frantically.
"What ails you, little creature? " asked Ragnar in his deep, calm voice. "The fox, she's stealing our eggs!
" exclaimed the hen, still agitated. "We need to do something! " Ragnar watched the chicken for a moment, considering the situation.
“The fox is a cunning creature,” he said finally. “Fighting with it will only make it more cunning. We need a smarter plan.
" The chicken, surprised by the wolf's calmness, calmed down to hear what he had to say. Ragnar then told him a plan: he would pretend to be a guard dog, protecting the fox's chicken coop. The hen, initially hesitant, was soon convinced that it was the best option.
That night, as the fox approached the hen house, she found Ragnar standing guard, his piercing eyes fixed on her. The fox, perplexed by the presence of the wolf, did not dare to attack. She knew that Ragnar was an experienced and strong wolf, and that a fight would be risky.
With a low growl, Ragnar scared away the fox, which fled into the forest without looking back. The chicken, grateful for the wolf's help, he presented him with a fresh egg the next day. From that day on, Ragnar became the Guardian of the Chicken Coop, protecting the chickens from the fox and other predators.
The chickens, admired by the wolf's wisdom and strength, learned to value the power of silence and composure. The moral of this tale is that in challenging situations, remaining calm and composed is essential to making the right decisions. Instead of engaging in fights and screams like the chicken, the wolf watched the fox in silence.
This attitude demonstrates strength and control, as it indicates that you do not allow yourself to be disturbed by negative words and actions. Only powerful people, whether men or women, respond to a verbal attack with silence. Furthermore, those who avoid saying everything they want rarely regret hurting someone with harsh and thoughtless words.
For some reason, probably cultural, we have the false idea that we are obliged to answer all questions and react to all attacks. This is not true. You respond only to what you want to respond to and react only to what you want to react to.
Speaking is a choice, not an obligation. As much as it may seem so, use smiles, not sarcastic smiles, but real smiles. Use the look, use a hug or use something else so you don't have to respond.
In some moments, you will see that silence can be the most powerful of responses. It's important to filter the information you receive and focus on what really matters. Responding to verbal attacks with silence is a powerful response because it demonstrates that you don't feel threatened and don't need to defend yourself.
Likewise, speaking is a choice, not an obligation. You have the right to choose what and when to respond, and it is not always necessary to engage in arguments. In short, this story teaches us that silence can be a powerful tool for dealing with difficult situations.
By observing in silence, we avoid getting involved in unnecessary discussions and preserve our energy for what really matters. Nonverbal communication is also a valuable tool that can be used to convey messages authentically and effectively. Finally, it is important to think before you speak to avoid and remain calm in challenging situations.
Remember, the wolf watches silently, and his strength lies in his composure and wisdom. And so we finish another story from Tales and Parables. I hope you enjoyed today's video.
A big hug, stay with God and see you in the next video.
