Our Broken Mindset About Fairness In Life

Most of us have been through days where we find life seemingly unfair. However, the reality of Life is always fair, it just depends on which perspective you view Life to be. It is our outlook of equality in this life that needs to be fixed. None of us can win forever and when you are losing, most of what goes on around you will naturally just look grossly unfair to you. The concrete rules of life should be evident to all of us and the main reason why most of us never really get to comprehend them is because the rules can appear to be uncomfortable for us to face them upfront.

All of us go about our lives yearning for some sort of authority or control. This idea of authority holds different meaning to each of us. No matter how differing this notion may mean for us, it will always converge to each of our own sense of self. Our sense of self is an integral part of our lives. It helps to define the choices that we have in this world and it enables us to be independent and the courage to act upon our will. It is only when our ego and self-interest are in balance that we feel a sense of empowerment in our lives.

Whether we like it or not, we have to face the fact that everyday life is a race in today's capitalistic society. A lot of what we do only start to become noteworthy when compared relatively with what others have done in this crowded space. We will stop at nothing in the bid to become that guru in our fields. Everything in demand will always be on a competitive scale and the best becomes available only to those who are really fighting for it. Even if it sometimes means that some other things in our lives have to be sacrificed. This is simply because it drives our day-to-day living with vigour.

Life is indeed fair and will always be played out by different sets of guidelines defined by our egos. Most of us get so hung up on how the world should work that we seem to be blinded about how it actually does. Facing that reality may just be the key to unlocking your true understanding of the world, and with it, all of life's possibility.

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
