A Thread That Promotes A Meaningful And Productive Life by Growing(m): 8:15am On May 17, 2021 |
With respect to work, it is very important and necessary for people at some point in their life to commit themselves to a single profession or career or whatever it is they would like to pursue. In a way that is what you do in the university. At some point in your life, you have to become one thing. There is a sacrifice though. When you are young, you are full of potential to achieve multiple things but for your own good, you have to decide on one thing you could become and sacrifice many things you could become. It is a necessary sacrifice. Whether you decide or not you will age. If you don't decide on one thing and become a disciplined adherent of some specific practice or profession, you risk aging chaotically. Instead of becoming an old child, age into something that is meaningful and productive. 1 Like |

Start by solving your individual problems. When you have solved enough of your problems that you consider yourself stable, you may be ready to take on the challenge of starting and raising a family. You do that very well and you may be helpful in solving the problems of your community. One who is helpful in solving the problems of his community may be capable of solving state problems overtime. There are problems that countries should be concerned about on a global level but I don't see why someone who has not even solved most of his personal problems should be paranoid in being a climate activist. He is likely not capable of making things better but worse with the solutions he will proffer. Don't use activism as an escape mechanism. Don't use it as a means of avoiding the most crucial problems confronting you. 1 Like |

A is what you want to happen. B is what is happening. When B is not A, that is, when what is happening is not what you want to happen, you have the unexpected and you feel anxiety. The larger the magnitude of the unexpected occurrence, the greater the amount of anxiety. |

You are used to the world as a place of objects: house, table, cars. For a moment stop considering the world as a place of objects and look at it as an experience. The world as an experience has chaos on the left, order on the right, and your consciousness which experiences both in the middle. |

You want A to happen but B happens. B is unexpected. When there is a mismatch between what you want to happen and what is happening, a sequence of events occur which manifest themselves in thought, behaviour and especially in emotion. Something surprising, something you may consider threatening has occurred. |

If you stand with your shoulders slumped forward, your chest tucked in, as if you are afraid, it reflects on the way you feel. It is also true that the way you feel can reflect in your posture. Stand up straight and with confidence. You may say that standing up straight with respect to your posture does not help your situation. You are a body and you are also a soul. When I say stand up straight, it is not only as regards posture. Your soul has to stand up straight. Doing that enables you to confront what you should. Perhaps the first step to an improved situation is to stand up straight psychologically and spiritually. 2 Likes |

blizard44: Thank you for your comment. Believe me when I say I understand you when it comes to pursuing multiple things you could become. It affected me for years. The concept of sacrifice is applicable and necessary in that regard. You can be many things and many of them have to be sacrificed in pursuit of something you are aiming at. The good thing is that when you successfully become something and you are productive at that, you have the confidence, helpful knowledge, maybe even resources and connection to become something better. 1 Like |

For anyone considering going to see a therapist, find a therapist that will listen to you. The psychotherapist is not there to give you advice although sometimes that can be helpful. Neither is the psychotherapist there to solve your problem. That might be strange to you. "If the therapist is not there to solve my problem then why should I go and see one?" The psychotherapist is there to help you understand what problem it is you are facing so that it can be delineated properly. The psychotherapist is there to help you articulate what it is you want and what you will like to achieve with psychotherapy. The psychotherapist moves from there to help you strategize towards the articulated aim. All this makes it necessary for you to find a therapist who will really listen to you. 1 Like |

Some people will find entrepreneurship very hard. If you are an orderly person who likes to follow procedures and rules, it is hard for you to start a company. You are high in conscientiousness and low in openness. When you first start a company or engage in any other creative process, you are not operating within a rule-governing structure. There may actually be times when you have to break a rule. There is no algorithmic way of generating a new company. And so it is people who are very high in openness who happen to be good entrepreneurs. |

If you have a problem and you come to talk to me about it, just by coming to talk about it you have admitted that there is a problem. Second, if you tell me the truth about the problem then we can clearly define it. If we can do that then we know what the problem is. Third, if we know what the problem is then we can start to map out some solutions which you can act out to see if they help. But if you don't admit there is a problem and won't talk about it, or you don't tell the truth about the problem, or you are not willing to act to resolve the problem, then the clinical experience won't be of help. It will be nothing short of a conversation encapsulated in delusion. There are three conditions for the clinical experience to be of help: 1. You admit you have a problem 2. You are willing to tell the truth about the problem 3. You are willing to do something about it. |
