Yes, you shouldn’t be soft in a world where everyone doesn’t care. So how do you stop being soft? Here are some tips that can help you greatly.

How to not be soft tip 1: Do things that you hate.

One of the best ways to stop being soft is doing things that you hate. Why? Because it toughens you up and makes you more resilient. It also gives perspective about how bad other people have it. So go out there and do something really unpleasant for a month, 2 months, or even 3 if possible! It’s going to make your life a lot better because it will help you cultivate a tougher mindset towards anything else outside the house as well as inside the house (your own thoughts). How do you know what to do? If it’s too broad, try narrowing it down till something comes up from those ideas/things that anger/disgusts/upsets you.

The next point is to do something that you hate, but it’s helpful to other people.

How does this tie in with being soft? Well, imagine if doing things that disgust you have some utility, then it’ll be easier for you to do them. For example, eating stinky cheese or drinking milk fresh from the cow is a daily job for a cheesemaker so he’s used to it and doesn’t mind anymore. But when compared to the rest of us who have been brought up eating pasteurized or flavored food products where cheese comes out in plastic-wrapped form, we would think eating these things are repulsive! So how do we solve this problem? By going out there and doing something disgusting regularly till it becomes a habit.

Train yourself to be tough.

Denying yourself pleasures is a way of training yourself to be tough. It’s also an exercise in self-control. It’ll make you more disciplined and focused, which are really important qualities for success.
