5 Tips for Being Mega Smart and Finding Balance (share if you find these helpful!!!) -Absolutes 1. Be mindful of absolutes like all, always, never, no one, forever, all the time, and so on (especially in arguments and wise sayings). Often, these are red flags for exaggerations, misunderstandings, and misdirection. Try not to use absolutes unless you are certain they are appropriate. It will make your case much more accurate and valid, and this awareness will allow you to be more direct with learning and communicating. -Paradox and Flexible Logic 2. Be aware of paradoxes and see logic as being flexible. Two seemingly opposing statements can be true. One is both ignorant and intelligent at the same time. One is both weak and strong at the same time. Allow your awareness of your ignorance and weakness to motivate you and empower you, and do not allow them to further inhibit you through blinding you of your intelligence and strength. This is also to be said of misfortune and fortune, and for sorrow and joy, also. -Love Yourself 3. Recognize that part of you that needs your love and support. When feeling down, remember that you can comfort yourself as if you were comforting another person. How would you comfort your best friend or lover? Do that for yourself! Allow the part of you that is strong and loving to comfort that part of you that is weak and sorrowful. Dont only support yourself when you are down, but also when you are up, also. Gain momentum in being your best friend! -Circumstantial Existence 4. Learn to see existence as circumstantial. We are all products of a supreme chain reaction. Do not hate the soul because an individual misbehaves. Do not hate God or the Universe because an individual is weak and ignorant. One is given a certain life-situation and a certain set of genetics, and ones decision making is cultivated by this. An individual who makes poor decisions lacks the combined ability, education, and confidence to make better decisions. Seeing this creates an opportunity for learning from situations rather than taking them as personal attacks. -The Love Behind Negative Emotions 5. Recognize negative emotions as having a purpose, and learn to see them as out of control positive emotions. Fear is overwhelming caution. Anger and hate are levels of overwhelming determination. Sorrow is overwhelming desire for joy. Analyze these emotions as forms of love, and try to direct the energy from these emotions into loving outlets to empower yourself. Dont feed the out of control nature of negative emotions, but dont waste the energy. ~Joshua
