The day when doing what’s best for everybody is profitable is the day when doing what’s best for everybody will be done, until that time what’s best for the minority will prevail.
I’m more realist than cynical because I understand the reason behind most people’s action is greed, the old adage, “the more you have, the more you want,” seems to prevail.
The day when the desire for peace overcomes the desire for money is the day money will become irrelevant.
In a world where a lot of people are saying, “don’t judge what you don’t understand,” or “don’t judge me;” it’s sending out the message of “don’t judge,” they’re right in terms of judging them, however, it would be more accurate for them to say, “don’t share your judgement of me with me,” because in order to live the life you want, you need to have the ability to accurately judge everything in your life. You have to be able to determine what you need in your life and more importantly what you don’t need.
What you need in your life is based on your core values, when the people and things in your life are a good match to those values, you’re happy because your mind is not battling against your own natural instincts. The opposite is also true, if you have people or things in your life that are inconsistent with your core values, you’re constantly fighting a battle with yourself to let those people or things go, or put up with them. You’re not happy.
To put it simply, your core values guide your behaviour.
An example of some core values are,
Honesty.
Equality.
Independence.
Integrity.
Open-mindedness.
Spirituality.
Trustworthy.
Health.
Loyalty.
Work-life balance.
Attitude towards money.
Fairness.
Family.
Respect for other people’s reputation and morale.
Accountability.
Your core values will be listed in order of importance. For example, if you were to list Colleen Rooney’s core values in order of importance, I’m fairly sure family & loyalty are high on her list of core values, based on (hearsay & conjecture).
Understanding your own core values will help you to determine what you want in your life, what you’re prepared to put up with and what you need to let go of for your own sanity.
I’ll leave you with one final thought,
Judging everybody and everything is the only way to live your life, however, you can’t begin to judge anybody else until you have finished accurately judging yourself, when you’ve completed that task you may not be interested in judging anybody else.
What are you doing today to change your tomorrow? One of the most interesting questions you will answer, it will define where you are now and where you want to be.
If you feel you don’t need to answer the question, that’s good, a lot of people are happy with what they’ve got, they’re the lucky ones because they live every day as if it’s their last day. (Tomorrow will look after itself.)
If your answer is nothing; nothing will change, at least the change will not be something you’ve considered, however, the people you interact with may have other plans for your future.
If you have a specific goal and you’re following a specific plan to achieve that goal, congratulations because you will achieve that goal, however, it does come with a caveat, your life may be a bit empty if you only have one goal.
If you are one of those people who believe their guardian angel has a great future planned for you; you just don’t know what that future is, I wish you luck with your dreams, however, if you change your dream to a vision, your guardian angel will have something to concentrate on.
If you’re not happy where you are today but don’t know what where you want to be tomorrow, just concentrate on your positive attitude.
“You are where you’re meant to be, you were meant to do everything you did and you will do everything you’re supposed to do.” ~Live in the moment and breathe.
It’s good to concentrate on where you heading from time to time, however, don’t spend too much of your time because one day your tomorrow will not arrive.
If you post your problems on social media, you don’t have a problem. You have an attention seeking problem because personal problems require personal solutions.
Attention seeking problem: I was on a social media platform the other day when somebody with an attention seeking problem was airing their problem.
The person said they had received an email that they felt was inappropriate in their inbox. The person said they weren’t going to name the said individual. The reason given was, “That’s not my style.” However, the person did make a video outlining their problem with inappropriate contact and shared it with everybody on their network.
The post did receive a lot of attention. Quite a number of people were dismayed that such a message had been sent. I wasn’t one of those people who got upset with the message being sent because I don’t disassociate online behaviour with offline behaviour.
If somebody walked up to you in the street and said something that was inappropriate; you can either call the authorities, ignore the comment, or tell them that their comment was inappropriate.
You really wouldn’t run down the street shouting. Did you hear what they said to me because that’s looking for attention and not looking for a solution to a personal problem.
One day, if we’re lucky, people’s online behaviour will mirror their offline behaviour. That’ll be a good day for people, but it’s not going to be a good day for social media platforms because the only reason they exist is because people are sharing information that should be ignored. I’ll leave you with one final thought.
Asking the general public for advice on a general query is equivalent to opening a fortune cookie, thinking you will know what your future holds for you.
P.S. personal problems are too complicated to find solutions on public forums.
