It shouldn’t Haunt You

You are Human after all


We all get caught up in life’s little moments. Whether it be a fight with your family or with your lover there is almost always some sort of tension at one point or another. Tempers can flare and it leaves both people feeling like complete assholes afterward. I think that everyone should remember that it’s not that bad. I know it’s a cliche’ but it’s the truth. Shit happens and in the end learning to deal with it and learn from it is the only way to overcome it.

In my life I have had more than my fair share of bullshit and drama occur its not fun, and it’s not the type of thing I want to remember. At the end of the day what effects our personalities the most is a simply combination of the bad shit that we endure. The bad shit that we have to deal with, whether we face it head on or avoid it is what defines our character for better or worse.

It all comes down to the fact that all of the bad things that have happened to you should never been looked at as a means of sympathy. When these things occur we are always better for them if we learn how we can change so this crap won’t happen again. What I think most people don’t do after a stressful situation or a bad time in their life it try to understand how it happened and how they reacted towards it. Life seems complicated at times, I’m not denying that for a second but it becomes a lot easier when you try and understand how your actions effect the way you feel and the way others view you.

Don’t let your past haunt you, let it redefine how you react and act towards the world and the people in it. Dwelling on the past can be emotionally crippling and unless we don’t try to learn from it we will never overcome it. Taking a situation head on and dealing with it will make you feel so much better. I can’t even begin to explain the relief that is granted to a person who attacks their problems, it’s the biggest weight off your shoulders, the strongest feeling of triumph you will ever experience. I promise. :]

Why Doesn’t Anyone Get It?! (Hypocrisy)

Check Your Beliefs

thestupiditburns

There are many human characteristics of that I admire, one being a person’s ability to check their beliefs for hypocrisy and above all question themselves. However I find that the majority of people have contradicting beliefs especially within two different sectors of their lives. For example a person many have one belief or ideal around one group of friends, and another with a different set of friends. This is in my opinion representative of a person who is having trouble finding out their place in society and which group of people they get along best with.

The art of questioning yourself is one that I believe all should master. Being able to take beliefs that have been with you for some time, and put them under scrutiny is a very valuable characteristic indeed, one I believe is the core to the advancement of our species.  When looked at closely I believe every situation experienced is of value. Every time a person come across a problem, or finds a new way of doing something it improves the overall quality of their life in that the knowledge they have learned is remembered due to positive reinforcement. This concept is unfortunately overridden by the need to belong and acceptance of the beliefs of a group of friends which are more often than not similar. It is this simple reason that I believe the ability to question the inner beliefs a person has, no matter how fundamental to their personality should be taught at an early age.

Question_Everything_by_Victawr

A person can do many things to improve their life but most importantly is working to learn from their mistakes. When a person gradually begins to question themselves it starts small, beginning with topics such as their favorite music, or group of friends. After some time it becomes clear to many that even their most core beliefs should be picked apart and searched for hypocrisy and unproven understandings. These thoughts may even become a chain reaction of personal revelations for many people. Particular changes in understanding can in many cases change the way someone looks at the world from extreme pessimism to a view of complete optimism.

The ability to question yourself is a core factor in personal understanding and enlightenment. However many make the mistake of expecting their personal revelations to be the same for everyone and become so excited of their accomplishments they want to show others and indirectly try to force their beliefs on those around them. This is a huge mistake, everyone is different for the simple reason that no one person goes through the exact same experiences and therefore two people cannot look at the same event and come to exactly the same conclusion.  This can be primarily attributed to the fact that people put more positive emphasis on different parts or supposed lessons of every situation. This can all be boiled down to the fact that you are you. You shouldn’t expect anyone to think the same way you do because well..they aren’t you! However when a person becomes more personally enlightened through meticulously questing every core belief they hold dear they consequently more confident, and happy with themselves which I believe should be the goal of everyone.
