What if I didn't need to defend anything?

How often do you defend yourself? A lot or a little?

When you stick up for something you're being, doing, having, or that you believe in, do you use emotional enthusiasm, exclaiming "oh this is GREAT and I got SO much out of it and if ONLY you try it I'm SURE you'll get something out of it too?!!!? "

Or perhaps you use intellectual prowess, trying to suffocate your opponents in piles of...smarts?

Whatever approach, how does it work? Do you enjoy it and does it create the result you desire? Or do people judge you a weird, whacky and wrong, and run away no matter what you say? 

Would you like more people to see what you see? If so, ask "What if I didn't need to defend anything?" Then, when you feel the urge to defend, simply smile and say "Yes, you're right."

What if by removing the defensive barrier people are used to pushing up agains, you created the space for them to question? In that space, what might they see?
