A new week is always better starting off with some self reflecting, looking down with all truth and honesty searching for any faults that might need some adjustment. No one is perfect and of course there is something detectable in everyone, something that has created an issue with our walks with other people. No doubt we humans are social beings and interaction is a crucial part of our existence, everyday we have got to communicate and send a signal as to what we intend portraying. Now sometimes there are some habits or attitude that can be observed by another and it just turn them off, if they can they might even end the communication with you and leave you wondering what went wrong, others might come straight with you and call your attention, but its still left for you to accept if its a fact, cause only via acceptance can change truly come.
Pride
Already most people would presume its only pride, but its not pride alone, but let's start off with pride. As much as pride is a good self confidence, its is like an aroma, you just need the right amount to keep yourself moving and people appreciating it, when its excess it can be perceived from a distance even afar off and makes a turn off, so much self confidence can make others hope you learn a lesson that would make you calm, and just when you are in need of some assistance they would hesitate to be of help in time, hoping you would learn your lesson and change.
You don't want to be the one people are wishing bad for, not because they don't like you, but there's something they which you would realize and stop and it would gladden their hearts to say to you " hey you see, pride comes before a downfall ". So should you be told you have pride, well so much pride, take out time to reflect, is this true, in what area I'm I exhibiting this pride. You might be good at home that your family doesn't think you're proud, but how about work, are you too confident you feel no one is capable enough to enlighten you, how about school, how about among your friends, do you boast of your accomplishments so much, Reflect.
Its good if they are good people around you, so they would just swallow it, or talk to you, because in this wicked world some people would plan or pray for your downfall and justify their action saying you had so much pride so they wanted to tame you. Pride indeed comes before a downfall, it's a normal law of life though, sooner or later every prideful person has it coming, its a seed sown, harvest is just around the corner.
Appearance
Guys How about appearance? Do you remember the saying, dress the way you want to be address, and by dressing I mean not only your clothes, your smell, your carriage, in fact everything the other person can see and smell about you. People love to be around those who makes them feel important too. Its an easy way to get associated with the successful while you're yet striving for success. One day my older brother, came home and brought a shoe, a wrist watch and a perfume and told me the price he spent in acquiring all that, I almost fought him, I'm like bro we could have bought more food stuff with that money.
Then he said he had an occasion to attend and he stood a chance of meeting some really wealthy guys, already he is loveable, but he has to be accepted into their midst before they would know the real him and like his personality, he wouldn't be shouting jokes from afar, that would be creating nuisance, of course immediately I agreed, he knew I know this fact and so I loved the idea, moreover I could also wear them for myself too. So he went and today he made them his friends, invited them for his concert he usually organizes and believe me when I say they spent a lot, he rendered the usual service but the profit was different this time and it all started from an appearance. True life story guys, not one ounce of myth.
We stand a better chance for a better gig or better life in general, if we can appear as what we want. Learn to dress well, smell well, carry yourself like you know what you're doing. Already you know your dreams, you have pictured your self already being famous, already being wealthy and you know how you spoke then, how you walked, how you imagined your self acting even though it was a mere imagination, but do act like it and little by little you'll start attracting the reality closer to yourself. Appear well, bad appearance is a turn off even to your friends and family, good appearance is widely appreciated.
Self control / Anger
This too is a turn off as the question comes "can he work with me? or can she cope with me? It doesn't make you bad to have anger but it makes you dangerous. In this world of hunger and survival instincts, people would readily get on your last nerve and not care about your feelings, some of them you can not react to maybe cause they are your boss, older person, child, spouse or even neighbour, but then you don't know how to dissolve the anger and so you unleash it elsewhere on someone else, some of them you can react to and cause havoc, maybe your employee, your child, your spouse, your neighbour and you'll just deal with them and make that day a living hell for both of you.
Anger has its limit to how long it should be allowed to stay, it has its way of blinding you to sanity, you completely lose all senses until the deed is done. So self control is a crucial part in our walk with fellow humans. people can like you but are not ready to put up with your drama, so they just cut you off, reflect and know if this is an area you ought to be deliberate for a change. Get self control, learn to keep calm and take few seconds before reaction, let wisdom direct, well its hard I know, but its very achievable.
A lot to be discovered during a self reflection, what has people been saying about you that isn't too good, why? Where? What is it? Where is my fault? No one is too good to have a fault but the good news is no one is too bad that his faults can't be corrected. I wish a happy life for everyone. Keep mingling.
