>What does "coming off the soap box" mean?
It means a person is finished talking and has stepped off the "podium".
I don't know the origin of the phrase, but I think it refers to someone standing on an old wooden box to make a speech in the past.
Work as if you don't need money
Love as if you've never been hurt before
Live as if this is your last day to live
Dance as if no one's watching
