Our Blind Spots in Life

All of us wish to be perfect but the truth is, none of us really are. In reality, there are some people in your life who see the same vision as you, and some of them obviously don't. It is the blind spots that is the origin of all the inadequacies in our lives.

Deep inside each of us lives a gloomy shadow. This dark unconscious personality that we do not acknowledge often becomes part of this shadow and manifests itself into our stance towards the people around us. It would seem that whatever behaviour we may find irritating, or unacceptable on the outside is nothing more than a reflection of a dark part of ourselves.
It verges close to impossible for people who are living in today's society to acknowledge the existence of this shadow since it naturally reflects a less attractive part of ourselves. This further gives us motivation to balk at some of the traits that we do not like about ourselves.



We are taught at a young age that we have to be law-abiding citizens with the intent of making the world a better place. The problem with trying to look 'decent' in the eyes of the society is that it takes energy and effort. The will always be pressure urging us to be 'decent', causing us to repress those undesirable and unpleasant impulses in hopes that they will languish away impotently into the darkness of the mind.

We ought to understand that the moment when we finally have the moral courage to see through our own pretence and uncover our own blind spots, be it recognising that we may be mean, selfish or arrogant, will we be able to heal our relationships with others.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
