Quote by John Knox

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

Summary

This quote suggests that attempting to both antagonize and influence someone simultaneously is not possible. Antagonizing refers to behaving in a confrontational or offensive manner, while influencing refers to inspiring, persuading, or guiding others. By being antagonistic, we create barriers and resistance, making it difficult to have a positive impact on others. True influence requires a constructive and respectful approach, fostering open dialogue and understanding. Trying to antagonize and influence at the same time would be counterproductive as it pushes people further away rather than drawing them closer for any meaningful change.

Centered, open, and diverse, the universes correspondence to your hopes and dreams is the deliverance of your foremost thoughts and actions. Energetically you can create and destroy your immediate set of circumstances under the same laws. Posed as friends and foes, you will have obstacles, ones in which you must go through, over, under and aside sometimes to overcome. These are the stepping stones to your future reality. Overcome that which has weakened your state of mind and conquer the thoughts and actions that you have let lead your life.
