Life Is Hard, But Don’t Let It Harden Your Mind
Life is hard but that doesn’t mean that life is in some way against us with living a happy life & one that is lived well & with purpose. Life may feel that way when things don’t go your way, or they don’t go according to plan even. Life happens & we don’t have that kind of control, & if we did, things would be messy, uneven & …
So it’s better off that we don’t have control over what does and what doesn’t happen in each of our individual lives. Anyway, though we have found ourselves in multiple moments where we felt as though life is telling us to give up or that the life we were hoping to be able to live, isn’t gonna be our reality at all, & we respond with a bunch of emotions that explode & not just internally but externally too!
But regardless of what we may feel emotionally and what possible chance it may be accurate to believe ourselves and not label ourselves or others as insane or crazy or delusional; deep down, it’s not logical or rather intelligent to respond with only emotion. It’s either with logic or emotional intelligence: using emotions with intelligence. Which I can share the definition of the term: Emotional Intelligence ⬇️
The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
“emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success”
And to further go into deep detail or explanation of this, though sometimes it’s good to respond or follow our emotions or feelings that we have for something or someone we believe in or having feelings for. But sometimes that can go downhill. Making bad judgments after numerous attempts or experiences and refuse to accept the lesson and try a different way of thinking and a new method of not falling for the same mistake again. Sometimes it’s because we have hope every time that the new guy they have recently met or began a romantic or friendly relationship with won’t cheat on them or screw things up like the previous boyfriends.
And we can be understanding that we feel hopeful of being presented with an opportunity and someone who will treat us with everything we all know each of us deserves in both: friendly and romantic relationships. And even if any relationships with other friends or even family and other acquaintances have treated us a certain way to lose trust in others even when we meet them for the first time. And then we make things bigger and exploding it, blowing it out of proportion, magnifying or making it look or seem like it’s what others in our life have treated us.
Making assumptions that everyone is the same like all the other people who have broke our hearts, our trust and so much more and to which we may find ourselves to losing faith in meeting someone that isn’t what we may assume or presume to be, that is if we let ourselves be vulnerable, and let our guard down without being “on-guard”, super alert or watchful to see when a sign that it’s time to flee, run to prevent ourselves from being more damaged, heartbroken and traumatized by more let downs, etc.
