Mind Control 1: personnel
Lack of control is the hardest thing to deal with and we all hate when we feel we’ve been taken for something important to us. TIme and money being at the top of the list for many. Any time you engage in an interaction with another human being you run the risk of wasting time (or what you perceive to be a waste of time).
When something hurts us or takes something away, we adapt and commit to not doing the same things that led us to that again. While this is a valid approach most of the time, I find it to be increasingly counterproductive to go into each situation with the baggage of the previous in tow. It keeps me from seeing things clearly. It keeps me from being objective, and it makes me charge the next person for what the previous one did.
So how do you go about maneuvering each situation to your benefit while minimizing the risk and maximizing the chances of a favorable outcome? You don’t really. Because you can’t control any other person other than yourself. Yes, it’s not fair or fun, but really your only other choice is to never interact with other humans.
But what you can do is get smart and adapt. Self-evaluate and realize that you are always the common denominator. So if you’re seeing trends you don’t like, spot those and then modify your behavior accordingly. Yes some people do crappy things, and there are some genuinely bad people out there, but don’t blame other people for everything. No one likes whiners or self-proclaimed victims, so hold yourself accountable and remember you create your own reality with your thoughts and actions.
All people, as individuals or as a collective are placed in your life for a reason. Even some of the most insignificant interactions can influence you or your course. Most (if not all) of these things, good or bad, are meant to make you better. The people in your life that come and go are a reflection of you at that moment. The ones that stay longer are meant to accompany you on a part of your journey and be influenced by you in some way (and vise versa). Longterm relationships that fade away happen because you’ve essentially fulfilled each other’s needs and the dynamic changes.
Mind control (until I think of a catchier name for it) as I see it is the awareness and subsequent ability to affect change in your life. Through basic understanding and manipulation of our universe’s laws, one can essentially alter his circumstances and create a favorable existence.
You want results in life, this is how it’s done. If you don’t believe me or think I’m crazy, chances are you work for someone who understands this concept.
