I KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW, OR I GUESS I DO

I dont need your help seems to be the first response to the question, Can I help you? We all like to feel that we are capable of handling any dramas in our life that come our way but this isn't always the case. Sometimes our ego can prevent us from asking for the help that we obviously need, all this does is hinder our own progression. This stance in our own stubbornness will only hold us back from moving forward to where we want to be. The quicker you take on the philosophy that you don't know everything will be the moment that you allow yourself to learn from input of others. Your goal should not be to prove that you know everything to others but that you respect them enough to listen and learn from their knowledge of experience on the topic. It is through mutual respect that we can learn from each other and grow. Only through learning from those that you interact with will you ever manage to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Shutting yourself from knowledge because you believe that it shows a lack of something is a weakness in your character for that we are always learning and the moment we stop learning is the moment we struggle in the evolving world. So do not flame your prejudices and allow yourself to learn from the four corners of the globe and you might be surprised what you could learn. 

WHAT IS A MAN?

A man is more than his hobbies and interests, they are merely what he prefers to spend his time focusing on. Men may share similar interests with one another and that is why we tend to refer to their common interests as "Thats what men usually like". Grouping men into common interests can partly be blamed on a combination of both nature and nurture in their set lifestyle this will always be the case because of the way we push our own belief system on how others should be all because it has worked for us. Men should be able to be who they want to be as long as they do not affect how other men want to be. Men are usually recognised for their shared interests in sports, cars, computer games etc ... but their common interests doesn't make them any more of a man from the men who would rather go shopping, dress up, or be a stay at home dad. Since language was created and a man was grouped and labelled in the same category as all those who looked similar in appearance the word man clearly was based on biology not personality. As much as we admittedly place people in groups all because it is easier to make sense of similarities when we live in world made up of generalities where the system might not be perfect it could be a lot worse if we begin to doublethink our understanding of what already makes sense, this will only lead to less understanding and more chaos. So what do you call a man who is feminine? I believe he's still a man.

THE WOUNDED BIRD

It is in human nature to feel sympathy for those that have experienced pain in their past as well as those that are still going through suffering on a day to day basis. Whether we can empathise with their plight or we just feel responsible to do what we can in order to alleviate some of their pain the moment you decide to make their problem your problem your path is set. Some people use the so called victim as a distraction from their own dramas rather than working on their own ongoing issues they are quick to defend the actions of others even at the cost of their own dignity. The decision to shield the wounded bird makes them feel happy and binds them to the so called victim. No matter what you choose to do to look out for the one who has chosen the life of isolation you will never feel fulfilled because you can not truly help others untill your own room is clean of problems. We are compelled to feel for that goes hand in hand of being human and it is when we feel most alive but sometimes it also ushers us to look out for only what makes us happy at the cost of others. So choose your side and stand proud because if you have to lie to yourself about your intentions then you may have chosen the wrong side.

THE POWER OF CONTROL

Real strength is to be able to have the power to do something but the control not to. Alot of people believe in the misconception that power needs to shown in order prove ones strength. Those who are constantly trying to prove their strength have little control of their emotions and are in constant struggle with the little strength that they do have. Through the lessons learned from your life experiences you enable your abilities to manage yourself by managing your emotions. The quickest way to manage your emotions is by maturing up. Maturity is the key to harness your true strength without maturity in your mindset you will fumble with your emotions grasping at your most prominent feelings your built up resentment. If you allow yourself to lose control all that will be left is regret because a person who experiences regret is the same person who has allowed himself or herself to ignore their rational mind over the anger that they are feeling and don't have the power to control it. So if you would rather do only what your rational mind wants then learn to control your anger so that you wont have anything that you will regret when you've let yourself be run by only your out of control emotions.
