When we think about it everything we action is based on an emotion we had during something we experienced and that was an expression of our makeup and our core set of beliefs.
Can you think of a time when you could have had a better outcome if only you’d been able to handle it differently?
Handling something differently can be simple but you’ll have to think about your responses.
The key thing is not to react, more to respond, which requires greater thought.
The next time you have a problem go through this process
- Think about the actual problem
- Assess what is causing the problem objectively instead of with a hot head
- Take the emotion away from the problem
- If the problem involves another human, think about what is causing them to behave in this manner
- Consider the best course of action based on these quick assessments
- Then act
When we are dealing with more than one set of human emotions we can often expect to see fireworks as a result if the two opinions are opposing. Therefore removing as much emotion as possible and assessing raw fact is going to ensure that any outcome is justified and considered rather than a knee jerk reaction to something that could be handled better.
You will find that there will be a “reason” behind the behaviours. You do not have to agree with the reason but you do have to listen and consider it before you decide what to do if you are going to develop into a more rounded and well-respected human. This way you will move through your life lessons much faster and your evolution will be less arduous.
Imagine if we all behaved in this way the world, don’t you think that we would live in a calmer, more productive and forgiving world.
