BK Sister Shivani is a well-known spiritual teacher who speaks in a simple, relatable way about issues we often encounter in daily life, like stress, relationships, self-respect, and emotional balance.Her advises are mostly about responding with stability instead of reacting in anger, setting healthy boundaries, and seeing goodness as a form of inner strength.She recently talked about the idea of goodness, which is often misconcieved as and taken for granted. But stresses the fact that being nice isn’t about copying others’ wrong behavior or staying quiet when hurt. It’s about responding with stability.We often think, “If I’m always nice, people will take me for granted.” It’s a genuine concern, especially when kindness feels like it’s being misused. But what if “nice” doesn’t mean being soft, silent, or okay with disrespect? What if true niceness is actually a form of inner strength?

What does the quote mean?
Many of us think that if we are always nice, others will take us for granted. Sister Shivani looks at this in a different way. She says that if people “take you for granted” because they know you will not get disturbed or react no matter what they do, that is actually a good thing.It shows that your behaviour is not being controlled by their moods. She beautifully explains that being nice means responding with stability. One does not need to swing between trying to please everyone and then exploding in anger. It is better to stay focused and react to a situation by analysing it thoroughly, not by impulse.
Being nice also means not copying someone else’s wrong behaviour
If a person is rude, one should not become rude back just to teach them a lesson. You refuse to let their negativity change your character. At the same time, being nice does not mean staying silent. She explains that we can and we should express our opinion assertively, say “no,” set boundaries, and speak up against unfair behavior calmly and clearly.Sister Shivani says, “Goodness is POWER. It’s YOUR STRENGTH.” Real power is self-control, and when your goodness is steady, it becomes a source of inner strength that others cannot shake.
