KNOW HOW TO DO SELF CONTROL FOR HAPPINESS

 

The stored-up impressions of one life are not lost by the death of the body, but will remain latent for some time and will become the causes of future desires in another life. Each one of us is born with the stored-up impressions of his past birth, which will re-appear in the form of various tendencies, desires and habits. This is the explanation of the wide variations we see in members of the same family, for which heredity alone, or even heredity plus environment, fails to account. As the number of impressions increases, desires also increase, as has been said; if we allow the desires to rise up and play in our minds, they will take the forms of passion and anger, disturb mental peace, create new impressions, and be in turn the causes of fresh desires. Thus, there is no hope of controlling the mind by mere gratification of desires. There is no hope of satiating the craving for enjoyment by getting the objects of pleasures; this is simply putting fuel on fire, or oil on flames. The more we enjoy, the more will desires increase. Foolish people, who have never analyzed their minds, indulge their desires and seek pleasure from outside objects. No one has succeeded in attaining self-control by being a slave to desires, nor has any one become free from desires by gratifying them. Therefore, a Yogi says: “As fire is not quenched by butter, so the fire of desire will never be put out by the objects of pleasure. The more butter is poured on a fire, the more it will flare up; similarly, the more the objects of desire are indulged, the more the desires will increase. If a person were to possess all the objects upon this earth, still his greed would not stop, he would seek something more.” Do you suppose that a man who works hard to become a millionaire will ever be satisfied with his possessions and cease to acquire more? He will go on seeking to add to them as long as he will live. A poor man desires to be rich, a rich man desires to be a millionaire, and a millionaire wants to be a multi-millionaire, and so on; where is there any rest? Where is there happiness? When will his thirst for possessions or enjoyment cease? Will he ever acquire control over his mind? Perhaps not in this life

Thirst for enjoyment is the real disease in us; its various symptoms are passions, ambition, pride, hatred, jealousy, anger, etc. Tremendous mental strength and will-power are required to control the restless mind from taking the forms of waves of passion and anger. The perfect restlessness of the mind of an ordinary person who is the slave to his desires and passions has been vividly described by a Yogi; the poet could not find a better illustration than to compare it with a monkey, who is restless by nature; then thinking this was not quite enough, he added drunken monkey, stung by a scorpion. When any one is stung by a scorpion, he jumps about from place to place for nearly two days, so you can imagine the restlessness of that poor monkey; still the poet found something lacking in the simile, so he completed it by saying: "At last the monkey was possessed by a demon.” Is there any expression by which we can describe the wretched state of that poor monkey? Such is the ordinary state of our mind

Naturally it is restless, but it becomes more so when it drinks the wine of ambition, still more when it is stung by the scorpion of jealousy; but the climax is reached when the demon of pride enters the mind and takes possession of it. In such a case, how difficult it is to bring the mind under control. To conquer mind is more difficult than to conquer the whole world. He is the greatest hero and the real conqueror of the world who has conquered his own mind. “He that ruleth his spirit is greater than he who taketh a city.” A Yogi says: "If one man conquers in battle a thousand times a thousand men, and if another conquers himself, he is the greatest of conquerors.” Therefore we should pay special attention to the study of the mind; we should learn to analyze its nature and constantly watch over its various modifications, trying to develop and strengthen the will-power

A Yogi develops his will-power by daily practice; he rouses up the higher powers and continues to fight against his greatest enemies with firmness and determination until he accomplishes his end. Perfect self-control of a Yogi is that state of mind where no desires or passions of any kind disturb the peace and tranquillity of his soul. Such a state can be acquired more easily by removing the bubbles of desires before they take the wave form of passions, that is, by attacking them while they are in their weak state. This can be done either by right discrimination of the nature of desire or by comparing the transitory pleasure which results from our contact with the objects of senses, with the serene, peaceful mind which is undisturbed by desires or passions. We should also remember that the highest ideal of our life is not pleasure of the senses, nor slavery to desires and passions, but the attainment of mastery over the lower self, and the manifestation of the supreme Self

There is another way of obtaining self-control, through concentration and meditation. Concentrate your mind upon the supreme Self and do not let it be disturbed by any other thought or desire at that time. Those who have read the Light of Asia will remember that when Buddha sat in meditation under the Bo tree all the dormant impressions began to rise in his mind. They are described as the attendants of Mara, the personified evil thought. But Buddha said: “It is better to die on the battlefield while fighting with enemy than to be defeated and forced to live like a slave, seeking little bits of sense pleasures and enjoyments.” With such a strong determination Buddha became master of himself; whosoever will display similar determination of purpose and strength of character, will surely attain perfect self-control. They alone who have acquired self-control enjoy eternal peace and happiness in this life and attain the goal of all religions, the knowledge of the divine Self

Passion and anger, again, lead to hatred, jealousy, and many other wicked feelings which are expressed outwardly in the form of vicious acts. He who can control his mind from being disturbed by passion and anger, has obtained self-control. The control of passions and anger comes when the mind does not seek pleasure from external objects, but learns by experience that pleasure which can be derived through the senses, is very transient; it lasts for a few seconds only, and its true source is not in the object itself, but depends mostly upon the mental and physical conditions of the enjoyer  

We have seen that passion and anger are the second and third stages of desire; these desires, according to the Yogis, remain in the subconscious plane of our minds: Here a question arises: What is the cause of these desires? A Yogi, trying to trace the cause of desires, says that they are the outcome of the dormant impressions in our minds, or the awakened state of these impressions. He further says that when we enjoy any external object through our senses, our minds are impressed with certain changes which are produced while we are in direct contact with the thing. When we eat an apple, the impression of its taste is left in the mind. When we hear a musical note, an impression of the note, pleasant or unpleasant, remains in the mind. Similarly, all the impressions which the external objects leave in the mind, will remain there in a seed form or dormant state, by the law of persistence of force. None of them will be lost; whatever things we have enjoyed or suffered in our lives are stored up in that seed form, or in the form of dormant impressions. These dormant impressions are the causes of our desires

Let us suppose that the mind substance is like a sea, that the surface is the conscious plane, and that the dormant impressions lie deep below surface. Here we should remember that anything that remains in a dormant state, is bound to manifest when the conditions become favourable. Forced by their inward nature, when the dormant impressions begin to manifest, they may be said to rise up slowly from the bottom of the sea of mind in the form of minute bubbles. We may call this bubble the subtle state of desire, or the awakened impression. Then it gradually rises to the surface and appears larger and larger in size. Let us call this bubble state of the awakened impression, desire; then the bubble of desire, after playing on the surface of the mental sea for some time, bursts there and takes the form of a wave, and agitates the whole sea of mind, transforming it into one mass of impulse. The mind becomes restless, peace is disturbed, power of discrimination becomes dull, we do not know whether good or bad results will follow should we yield to the impelling impulse; we are forcibly driven headlong toward the object of desire, whatever it be, mental (like ambition, pride, etc.), or merely sensuous. In fact, our controlling power having been overcome by that wave of desire, we can no longer call it desire. It temporarily takes the form of a ruling passion, or strong impulse. That tremendous impulse controls our nerves, muscles, and the whole body; struggle to gratify this longing, only to find, when we have attained the thing and gratified the longing, that the satisfaction is but brief. The tempest that wrecked our selfcontrol gradually subsides, and the particular desire that provoked it returns again to its dormant state; then a temporary peace of mind is regained and we remain happy for a time

In the meanwhile another dormant impression gets ready to appear in the form of a bubble. Slowly it rises up from the subconscious to the conscious plane, and the same process is repeated. This ever-recurring series of desires and their temporary gratification forms the daily life of all such persons as have not learned to control their minds. When this fleeting peace of mind, or so-called happiness, has been secured, the desire subsides into a dormant state for a longer or shorter period. This process is continuously going on in each mind at every moment. Suppose a person is invited to a dinner party, where he partakes of something very delicious which he never tasted before and which he likes immensely. Do you think that the impression of that taste will be lost- as soon as the dinner is over? Certainly not; it will remain in the mind and engender a desire for the same thing again; the memory will recall that impression and it will become the cause of a fresh desire. In this manner it can be shown that every new impression is the cause or seed of a new desire

When a man begins to drink intoxicating liquors he feels a peculiar sensation; it drives away his dullness, exhilarates him, excites his nervous system, and makes him happy for the time being. After the effect of the stimulant is over, the impression of the agreeable feeling it produced is left in his mind; for some time it remains latent, then it rises up in the form of a desire, or bubble, to the surface of his mental sea. Rising to the surface, it bursts and produces a wave, or impulse, which intensifies the desire and leads him to drink again. The fresh exhilaration creates another impression, which stamps itself upon the former, and the process goes on with increasing frequency. With every fresh yielding to desire, the old impression is deepened, until the series of stored-up impressions becomes so strong that it forms a part of his nature and becomes what we call habit. Similar processes have produced all varieties of habits, good and bad, which we find in different people in different countries. A kindred process produces what we call instinct in the lower animals

Mind has tremendous power over the body. If a certain idea gets possession of the mind it affects the body and produces corresponding changes in the whole system. The same mind which found pleasure in a certain thing at one time, dislikes the very sight of that thing if new ideas happen to get a hold upon it. For example, animal flesh gives pleasure to a meateater as long as he thinks it is the right kind of food, but when the nobler principles of vegetarian diet dawn upon his mind and convert him into a vegetarion, the very odour of meat will be offensive, and may make him feel ill; his stomach will refuse to digest animal flesh, and it may even become a cause of pain and suffering to him. Therefore, it can be said that there is nothing in the universe from which all individuals can derive absolute pleasure or absolute pain, or that can even please the same individual at all times. Those who seek pleasure from the objects of senses cannot stick to one particular enjoyment at the time. If they try to enjoy the same thing day after day, they will soon tire of it; satiety is the inevitable result, and with that comes loss of interest

Suppose someone who is passionately fond of the opera should constantly hear the same opera day and night, without hearing or doing anything else, he or she would surely tire of it in a few days. Constant change of the objects of pleasure is absolutely necessary for those people who seek pleasure from the external world. It is for this reason that many people who are too poor to afford much variety in their pleasure delude themselves by thinking that wealth would give them all they desire, and envy those who possess large fortunes, foolishly believing that the rich must be always happy. In this way, they often fail to enjoy the pleasures within their reach, thus making their life a burden. They fail to understand that wealth has its own trials, that are often only little more bearable than the ills of poverty. The truth is that true happiness can only belong to him who can control his mind. The practice of self-control would be a great blessing to all these unhappy people; it would make their lives happier and better worth living

Before we can control the natural tendency of the mind to seek pleasure in external objects, we must know that the feeling of pleasure depends upon the feeling of pain. If we do not have any feeling of pain whatever, we cannot enjoy a pleasant feeling. Pleasure is pleasure only when it stands in relation to the feeling of pain. Whenever we compare one sensation or feeling with another, we find one more pleasing than the other; the less pleasing one is ordinarily called painful. The tendency of our mind is to seek objects that are more pleasing than those which we already possess, or happen to enjoy, and the moment we find a thing which we think would produce a more agreeable sensation than the things we now have, we crave to possess it. Having satisfied the craving, if after comparison we discover that the latter is not better than the former, we remain as unsatisfied as before, and may even wish to go back to the former condition. Thus we can understand that although pleasures and pain may arise in different individuals from their contact with the same objects of senses, the natural tendency of mind is to seek pleasure and avoid pain. We are attached to those objects from relation with which we derive pleasure, but the moment these cease to yield us gratification, we become indifferent to the very things we so eagerly desired; sometimes we grow to hate them and wish to get away from them 

Our minds are constantly seeking new objects of pleasure through the gates of the senses, and attach themselves to every fresh object that promises to give us a pleasant feeling or sensation. While this attachment lasts, the mind becomes a slave to it. If anything happens to come in the way and prevent the mind from enjoying a particular pleasure, the mind tries to overcome the obstacle. The stronger the opposing power, the greater is the mental struggle to subdue it. If the desire be very strong and we cannot succeed in gratifying it by ordinary means, we often get enraged and adopt more violent measures, thus losing all possibility of a peaceful state of mind

That simple desire for enjoyment takes the form of a ruling passion, agitates the whole mind, and manifests in the form of anger and unrest. In that agitated state of the mind, we lose the sense of right and wrong, memory grows dull, understanding gets confused, we lose foresight and act like brutes. Passion is the stronger form of desire; the same strong desire, when acting under opposition, takes the form of anger. Desire is the first stage, passion is the second stage, and the third stage is anger

KNOW HOW TO DO SELF-CONTROL II

  Self-control is not manifested in the character of any man who ignorantly obeys the dictates of the senses, and blindly serves the internal masters of passion, anger, greed, self-delusion, pride, and egotism. Those who can control themselves, or check the mad rush of the mind toward sense objects, and who cease to obey those animal impulses which are standing like fierce enemies in the path of spiritual progress, enjoy undisturbed peace as long as they live, thus reaching the highest goal of freedom; but those who are constantly guided by sudden waves of passion, anger, pride, jealousy, and hatred, are always disturbed in their minds; they are restless and unhappy

How can persons who are slaves of their senses expect happiness? Happiness comes in the state of perfect freedom, and not in slavery; that freedom again can be acquired only through the practice of self-control; therefore those who desire to enjoy unbounded happiness and peace of mind on this earth should struggle for freedom by learning to practise self-control

The attainment of self-control is easy for those who have learned to study their own minds, and who, after discovering their weaknesses, try to reform their own characters. Like the lower animals, the natural tendency of human beings is to seek pleasure and to avoid pain. As long as man lives in the darkness of ignorance, and cannot trace the causes which make him happy or unhappy, and as long as he does not understand whether happiness and pleasure come from external objects or from within, so long he fails to be master of himself. Right discrimination of the conditions which make one happy or unhappy is the surest guide in the path which leads to the attainment of self-control

Now let us examine the present conditions of our minds. They are naturally attracted by the objects which are pleasing to the senses, or which help in fulfilling the purposes and desires that are extremely strong in us. The majority of mankind are attached to those objects which give pleasure, both sensuous and mental. They are never attached to anything or anybody where they do not find pleasure. In the same manner it can be shown that the natural tendency of the mind is also to get away from pain. The eyes are pleased to look at the beautiful colour which attracts them, the ears are pleased to hear sweet words, melodious notes, and good music. We like to smell sweet fragrance, and to taste the things pleasing to the palate Yet that which is pleasing to the senses of one man may give pain to another. A China-man enjoys Chinese music, but it is painful to our ears. Similarly, the music which is delightful to our ears, gives no pleasure to a China-man. Western music seems like howling and screaming to many Oriental ears which are not trained to it

Many people enjoy curious flavours and high seasoning, and others are disgusted by them. Some people enjoy the burning sensation in the tongue and throat produced by red pepper, while others feel pain from it and shun it. The same colour or same sound or taste which is pleasing to one, may be a source of intense discomfort to another. This shows that pleasure and pain are not the inherent properties of the objects of senses, but that they depend upon the conditions of the mind and body which come in direct contact with those objects

Every religion can be divided into two parts, one of which may be called the non-essential and the other the essential. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, ceremonies, and mythologies of all the organized religious creeds come under the head of the non-essential. It is not meant by this that they are useless; on the contrary, the very fact of their existence proves that they are helpful and necessary at certain stages of progress. What I mean is, that it cannot be said that they are absolutely necessary for making one live a purely spiritual life. A man or a woman may be highly spiritual without performing any of the rituals and ceremonies ordained, either by the scriptures of the world, or by any religious hierarchy. A man or a woman may be truly religious without believing in any creed, doctrine, dogma, or mythology. Those who think that these non-essentials are indispensable for attaining to the ultimate goal of religion, have not yet grasped the fundamental principles that underlie all religions; they mistake the non-essential for the essential; they cannot discriminate the one from the other; they lack the insight of spiritual illumination. Those who understand the essentials of religion and strictly follow them in their every-day life do not disturb themselves about the non-essentials; these simple and sincere souls alone reach the goal of religion by the shortest way possible

The essentials of religion are principally two: Self-knowledge and Self-control. Self-knowledge means knowledge of the higher Self, the divine nature of man; and self-control is the restraint of the lower self or selfish nature. True knowledge of the divine Self comes when the lower self is subdued. In ancient times, Greek philosophers understood these two as the essentials of religion, therefore over the temple entrance at Delphi the phrase “Know Thyself” was so conspicuously engraven. Heraclitus, the ancient Greek philosopher, interpreted this motto by saying: “It behooves all men to know themselves and to exercise self-control

The system of Yoga deals entirely with the essentials of religion; it does not teach any dogma, creed, ritual, ceremony, or mythology. Its main object is to teach mankind the different methods of attaining the knowledge of the true Self, and the practice of self-control. A true Yogi is one who has perfect control over himself, and who has acquired self-knowledge. The science of Yoga explains what self-control is, how it can be acquired, and what is the nature of self-knowledge. A Yogi therefore reaches the ultimate goal of religion and spiritual perfection without wasting his energy in the practice of non-essentials

The non-essentials of religion are like a huge heap of husks, under which lies hidden the kernel of the essential truth; wherever there is too much of non-essentials, there prevail religious corruption, superstition, and false theology, the main object of which is to convince the ignorant masses that the heap of non-essential dogmas, doctrines, ceremonies, and rituals must be observed by all who wish to be religious. But the science of Yoga, being free from dogmas, ceremonies, and rituals, suffers neither from corruption, nor from superstition, nor does it need any theology. It is pure and simple. It welcomes to its fold all sincere and earnest souls who are searching for higher truth and spiritual life, and seeks tp make them spiritual by giving the essentials of religion as their highest ideal. It teaches them the method by which self-control and knowledge of the supreme self can be acquired

Self-control means the control of the lower self, or the animal nature of man, by developing the higher powers that are latent in the individual soul. Having ascended the grades of evolution from the lower animals, man lives at first on the animal plane; then as he rises higher and higher, the latent powers of the soul gradually begin to manifest and overcome his anitendencies

If you want to feel more appreciated by others then don't do these subtle habits

1. Constantly seeking validation

One of the most common habits that can make us feel underappreciated is the constant need for validation

When we constantly seek approval from others, it places our self-worth in their hands. This not only gives them power over our self-esteem but also can lead to a cycle of feeling undervalued

The key here is to find a balance. It’s perfectly fine to want recognition for your achievements. However, it’s important to remember that your worth isn’t determined by other people’s opinions

2. Avoiding confrontation

If you’re someone who tends to avoid confrontation at all costs, you might find yourself feeling underappreciated. This is because avoiding difficult conversations can often lead to your needs and opinions being overlooked

It’s important to understand that healthy confrontation is a part of life. It’s a way to express your feelings, set boundaries, and make sure your voice is heard

Avoiding confrontation might seem like the easy way out in the short term. But in the long run, it can lead to resentment and a feeling of not being valued

3. Neglecting your own needs

This is because when we constantly neglect our own needs, we’re essentially sending a message to others that our needs aren’t important

This habit can be particularly prevalent among people-pleasers. They tend to go out of their way to meet the needs and expectations of others, often at the expense of their own well-being and 

By saying no when you need to, and prioritizing self-care, you’re not only showing respect for yourself but also teaching others how to treat you. And guess what? This can lead to a greater feeling of appreciation from those around you

4. Over apologizing

Over-apologizing can diminish your self-esteem and make others perceive you as less confident. It puts you in a submissive position and can lead others to take you for granted

So, next time you’re about to apologize out of habit, pause for a moment. Ask yourself if you’re truly at fault. If not, resist the urge to utter that automatic I’m sorry

5. Neglecting to appreciate others

Perhaps the most crucial habit to break if you want to feel more appreciated is neglecting to appreciate others

Showing gratitude and appreciation for others not only makes them feel valued but also sets a precedent for how you wish to be treated

By regularly expressing your appreciation for the people around you, you’re more likely to cultivate a culture of mutual respect and appreciation 

So, make it a habit to recognize and acknowledge the value that others bring into your life. After all, appreciation is a two-way street

If you have become too routine and predictable then don't do these habits

 

1. Mindless scrolling

This mindless scrolling is a daily habit that can make life feel dull and repetitive. It’s like being on autopilot, not fully engaged with anything

When you realized this, then you can decide to cut down on your social media time. Instead, you can start using that time for things that truly matter to you things like reading a book, going for a walk, or even just sitting in silence for a few minutes

2. Neglecting self care

In the midst of our busy lives, we often forget to take care of ourselves. We’re so focused on work, responsibilities, and taking care of others that we put our own needs on the back burner

But here’s the thing you can’t pour from an empty cup. Neglecting self-care can lead to burnout and make days feel mundane and exhausting

Self-care isn’t selfish or indulgent. It’s necessary. Whether it’s taking a few minutes to meditate, reading a book, taking a warm bath, or just sitting quietly with a cup of tea these small acts can make a big difference

3. Skipping breakfast

Skipping breakfast can lead to decreased cognitive performance, meaning it can negatively impact your decision-making skills, memory, and creativity

On the contrary, having a balanced morning meal kick-starts your metabolism and provides the energy you need to seize the day. It can also regulate your blood sugar levels and help curb overeating later in the day

and

So if you’re looking to break free from monotony, start by giving your body the fuel it needs each morning. Shaking up your routine might just start at the breakfast table

4. Neglecting physical activity

In our busy lives, it’s easy to push physical activity to the back burner. But staying sedentary can make our days feel even more monotonous

Physical activity isn’t just about maintaining a healthy weight. It’s also crucial for our mental wellness. Exercise releases endorphins, known as the ‘feel-good’ hormones, which help to reduce stress and anxiety and improve mood

Even just a quick 15-minute walk can boost your energy, improve your concentration, and break up the monotony of your day

5. Ignoring your passions

The most vibrant lives are those lived passionately. If your days feel too routine and predictable, it might be because you’re not making time for the things you love

Passions, whether it’s painting, running, cooking, or anything else, add color and excitement to our lives. They provide a sense of purpose and joy that can break up the monotony of daily routines

So carve out some time each day for your passions. It doesn’t have to be hours; even a few minutes can make a big difference

Be now and Be here 

Be yourself and Be happiness 

KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF REACTION

Whether you feel less guilty, immediately you start feeling happier. When you feel happier, you feel less in conflict, more harmonious together. When you feel together, more harmonious, suddenly you feel a certain grace surrounding you. These things function like a chain reaction: one starts the other, the other starts another, and they go on spreading

Feeling less guilty is very important. The whole of humanity has been made to feel guilty centuries of conditioning, of being told to do this and not to do that. Not only that, but forcing people by saying that if they do something that is not allowed by the society or by the church, then they are sinners. If they do something that is appreciated by the society and the church, then they are saints. So everybody has been fooled into doing things that society wants them to do, and not to do things that society does not want them to do. Nobody has bothered about whether this is your thing or not. Nobody has bothered about the individual

Move into a new light, into a new consciousness, where you can unguilt yourself. And then many more things will follow

KNOW THE REAL ROBBERS

There is nothing to fear because we dont have anything to lose. All that can be robbed from you is not worthwhile, so why fear, why suspect, why doubt?

These are the real robbers: doubt, suspicion, fear. They destroy your very possibility of celebration. So while on earth, celebrate the earth. While this moment lasts, enjoy it to the very core. Because of fear we miss many things. Because of fear we cannot love, or even if we love, it is always half-hearted, it is always so-so. It is always up to a certain extent and not beyond that. We always come to a point beyond which we are afraid, so we get stuck there. We cannot move deeply into friendship because of fear. We cannot pray deeply because of fear

Be conscious but never be cautious. The distinction is very subtle. Consciousness is not rooted in fear. Caution is rooted in fear. One is cautious so that one might never go wrong, but then one cannot go very far. The very fear will not allow you to investigate new lifestyles, new channels for your energy, new directions, new lands. You will always tread the same path again and again, shuttling backward and forward like a freight train

Important signs of great human being according to psychology

 

1. Emotional availability

Emotional availability is a cornerstone of any successful relationship and it’s also a key trait of a great human

Being emotionally available means being open and willing to sit with your partner’s or children’s feelings and emotions whether they’re positive or negative

The ability to be emotionally present for your loved ones is a powerful sign of strength and commitment, demonstrating that you’re there for them in both good times and bad

2. Consistency

Consistency is a trait that often goes unnoticed, but it’s a major factor in the making of a great human 

This reliable presence creates a sense of security and stability within a family and society. When you know you can depend on someone, it fosters trust and deepens relationships

3. Ability to express love

The ability to express love openly and genuinely is a key characteristic of a great husband and father. Love isn’t just about saying ‘I love you’; it’s also about showing it through actions, big and small

Similarly, expressing love and appreciation towards your spouse is fundamental for a healthy and lasting marriage. It nurtures emotional intimacy and creates a strong bond between partners

So, if a man openly expresses his love for his family, not just in words but also through his actions, it’s a compelling sign of his success as a person

4. Be Patience

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to being a great human. It’s about understanding that everyone makes mistakes, and growth takes time

A man who refrains from losing his temper and instead handles difficult situations with composure sets a positive example for his children. This teaches them the importance of patience and helps them develop this vital skill themselves

Moreover, in a marriage, patience allows for better communication, understanding, and ultimately, a stronger relationship

5. Unconditional love

Above all, a great human loves his family and friends unconditionally. This means loving them at their best and their worst, in good times and in bad, without any expectations in return

Unconditional love is about acceptance and understanding. It’s about celebrating the individuality of each family member and embracing their strengths and weaknesses

It’s the foundation of a happy and healthy family, providing a safe and nurturing environment where everyone can grow and thrive

If a man loves his family and others unconditionally, it’s the ultimate sign that he’s not only a great at wonderful human being

If someone genuinely loves you they almost exhibit these subtle behaviors

1. Pays attention to the little things

Grand gestures and expensive gifts don’t define love. It’s the consistent, everyday actions that truly demonstrate how much he cares

If a human genuinely loves you, he’ll notice the little things that make you happy or tick you off. He’ll remember your favourite food, the way you take your coffee

And while this may seem like a small thing, it’s actually a big deal. It shows he values you and wants to understand you better

So if that person tuned into these little details, chances are he’s genuinely in love with you

2. Supports your dreams and ambitions

In any healthy relationship, support is key. If a human genuinely loves you, they can be your biggest cheerleade

When a human supports your dreams and ambitions, it says volumes about his feelings for you. It shows that he respects you as an individual with goals and aspirations, and he’s willing to stand by you as you chase them

3. Values your opinions

In a loving relationship, both partners value each other’s thoughts and opinions. This respect is reflected when a man genuinely loves you. He’ll respect your viewpoints, even if they differ from his

So if they always interested in what you think and often seeks your advice or perspective, it’s a clear sign that he respects and loves you. His actions show that he sees you as an equal partner whose opinions matter

4. Makes time for you

In our busy lives, time is one of the most precious gifts we can give someone. If a man genuinely loves you, they can make you a priority in their life

It could be as simple as watching your favorite movie together on a weeknight, cooking dinner for you after a long day, or just curling up on the couch and talking about your day

His willingness to spend his free time with you, even when he’s got a million other things on his plate, is a clear sign of his love. It shows that he values your company and cherishes the moments he shares with you

5. Not afraid to show vulnerability

We often associate love with strength and resilience. But true love also means being able to show vulnerability.

If a human genuinely loves you, they won’t always put up a tough exterior. They feel comfortable enough to share his fears, doubts, and insecurities with you. They won’t be afraid to cry in front of you or admit when they’re wrong

This openness is a sure sign of trust and deep emotional connection. It shows that he feels safe being his authentic self with you, which is a crucial aspect of genuine love

Important things about yourself you should never share with other people

1. Your personal problems

We all have issues, don’t we? But here’s the thing, constantly talking about your personal problems can make you appear as a complainer and nobody wants to be around a Negative Nancy

It’s okay to share when you’re going through a tough time, but remember, there’s a fine line between sharing and oversharing

Your close friends and family are there for support but for others, it’s often best to keep things light and positive

So next time you’re about to delve into your personal issues, take a pause and consider if it’s the right thing to share or not

2. Your good deeds

Sharing your good deeds. Sounds strange, right? I mean, we’re all taught that doing good is a virtue. But here’s the catch: constantly talking about your good deeds can come off as bragging or seeking validation

True kindness doesn’t require recognition. The joy of helping others should be reward enough. So next time you do something good, try to keep it to yourself

Not only will it make your act of kindness more genuine, but it also allows the person you’re helping to maintain their dignity

3. Your past resentments

      Did you know that holding onto resentment can be harmful to your health? In fact, studies have shown that it can lead to increased stress

     While it may be tempting to vent about past grudges or resentments, often, it just stirs up negative energy and doesn’t serve any constructive purpose

   It’s not about hiding your feelings, but rather about knowing when and how to express them in a healthy way. So instead of constantly bringing up past resentments, focus on the present and the positive aspects of your life

4. Your insecurities

We all have insecurities. But sharing them with everyone can make us vulnerable to unnecessary criticism or judgement. It’s important to remember that everyone is dealing with their own battles, and it’s our job to manage our insecurities

  Instead of sharing your insecurities with everyone, use them as a motivation to improve yourself and become stronger

  Always keep in mind, true strength lies in facing our fears and insecurities, not in revealing them to everyone around us

5. Your relationship issues

Confiding in a trusted friend or seeking professional help is one thing, but sharing your relationship issues with everyone can often backfire

At the end of the day, it’s your relationship and most of the times you are the best judge of what’s right or wrong for you

So, before discussing your relationship issues with others, consider the potential consequences and whether it will actually be beneficial in resolving the problem

Emotionally strong people always set these boundaries in relationships

1. They prioritize self care

When it comes to relationships, emotionally strong people understand the importance of self-care

And it’s not about being selfish or neglecting the needs of others.

Rather, it’s about understanding that you can’t pour from an empty cup.

In order to offer love, support and care to others, an emotionally strong person knows they first need to take care of themselves

It’s about ensuring you’re at your best, so you can give your best to the relationship.

2. They set emotional boundaries

Emotionally strong people understand that their feelings are their own responsibility, and they make sure others know this too.

They don’t allow others to manipulate their emotions or blame them for their own emotional state.

This boundary is crucial for maintaining one’s emotional health and preventing co-dependency in a relationship.

It means respecting each other’s emotional journeys while supporting each other along the way

3. They maintain personal space

Emotionally strong people understand the importance of personal space in a relationship

This goes beyond physical space to include mental and emotional space as well and 

They understand that everyone needs time alone to recharge, reflect, and pursue individual interests

4. They assert their needs

Whether it’s the desire for transparent communication, meaningful time together, or deeper emotional intimacy, they ensure their partner is fully aware of what’s necessary for the relationship to flourish

Asserting your needs isn’t about being demanding; it’s about fostering clear communication and cultivating a relationship where both individuals can thrive

5. They stand up for themselves

Regardless of their depth of affection or concern for another, they refuse to tolerate poor treatment or be taken for granted

Whether it involves confronting demeaning remarks, unfair treatment, or any form of disrespect, they make sure their voice is heard and their dignity upheld

It’s important to remember that a relationship without respect is akin to a house without a foundation it simply cannot endure

Standing up for yourself is crucial because you are important, and you inherently deserve respect

Important signs of low self esteem in a man according to psychology

1.  Over-apologizing

We’ve all met someone who says sorry too often
This person seems to apologize for every little thing, even when it’s clear they haven’t done anything wrong. It’s like they’re constantly on defensive, expecting to be blamed for something

This is a classic sign of low self-esteem, especially in human

Because they feel they need to apologize for their existence. They believe they’re a burden to others and this belief stems from an inherent feeling of unworthiness

Healthy level of self-esteem means acknowledging when you’re wrong and saying sorry when necessary. But over-apologizing? That’s a clear red flag

2.   Fear of confrontation

No one really enjoys confrontations. But for human with low self-esteem, it goes beyond mere discomfort. It becomes a profound fear

They often avoid confrontations at all costs, even when it means tolerating unfair treatment or suppressing their own needs. They fear that standing up for themselves might lead to rejection or conflict, which they believe they’re not strong enough to handle

3.  Avoidance of eye contact

Eye contact is an essential part of human interaction. It shows attentiveness, confidence, and respect. But did you know it can also reveal a lot about a person’s self-esteem

For men struggling with low self-esteem, maintaining eye contact can be extremely challenging. This is because they often feel unworthy or inferior, and looking directly into someone’s eyes can feel too vulnerable, too revealing
So the next time you’re talking with a man who seems unable to meet your gaze, it might not be disinterest or rudeness. It could be a telltale sign of low self-esteem

4.  Excessive need for reassurance

We all need reassurance from time to time. It’s a normal part of human relationships. But when it becomes excessive, it might be pointing towards low self-esteem

Human with low self-esteem often seek validation and reassurance from others. They constantly need to hear that they’re doing okay, that they’re loved, and that they matter. This is because they struggle to find this validation within themselves

5.  Difficulty accepting compliments

Imagine giving a well-deserved compliment, only for it to be deflected, downplayed or outright rejected. It can be puzzling, right

However, for men with low self-esteem, accepting compliments can be a real struggle. They may feel undeserving or suspect ulterior motives behind praise

Instead of graciously accepting the compliment, they might brush it off with an “it was nothing” or divert the attention to someone else’s achievements

This difficulty stems from their deep-seated belief that they are not good enough

Simple actions that prove you’re a genuinely good person

 

1. Small acts of kindness

We often underestimate the power of small acts of kindness

It might be as simple as holding the door open for someone, buying a coffee for a stranger, or offering your seat to someone who needs it more than you do

These acts might seem insignificant, but they can brighten someone’s day in ways you might not even realize

Being a good person isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about consistently showing kindness and consideration towards others in your everyday life

2. Empathy for others

True empathy goes beyond simply understanding someone’s feelings; it’s about taking that understanding and turning it into action

We’ve all witnessed moments where someone is clearly struggling, whether it’s a friend going through a tough time or a stranger in need of a helping hands

These acts of empathy, no matter how big or small, can make a world of difference to someone in need and reveal the true goodness within us

3. Honesty and integrity

Needless to say, trust is the foundation of any strong relationship

Being a genuinely good person means valuing honesty and integrity. It’s about telling the truth, even when it’s easier to lie

It might not always be easy, but consistently choosing truth over deception sets you apart as a person of good character. And in the long run, it’s these acts of honesty and integrity that earn us the respect and trust of others

4. Offering helping hands

There’s a unique kind of satisfaction in helping others without expecting anything in return. It might be lending a hand to a friend moving house, volunteering at a local charity, or simply offering to carry a heavy bag for a stranger

If you manage to be there for others, even when it’s inconvenient, that’s a sign that you’re a genuinely good person

5. Practicing gratitude

Gratitude is a powerful and transformative practice. It’s about appreciating what you have, rather than focusing on what you don’t have.

The thing about gratitude is that it actually changes your brain. Research shows that the more grateful we are, the more generous we become

By practicing gratitude, you’re not only improving your own outlook on life, but also spreading positivity and warmth to those around you. And that is a true mark of a genuinely good person.

Important signs you have a high class personality even if you aren’t wealthy

 

1. You’re respectful of others

High class personality is respect for others, regardless of their status or position in life. This involves showing kindness and consideration for everyone

You listen attentively when others speak, value their opinions, and never belittle or ridicule them. You’re polite and courteous, and you treat people with dignity and understanding

And it goes beyond just being nice. It’s about acknowledging the humanity in others, treating them as equals, and showing them that you value their time and presence

This trait is not only appreciated but also reciprocated by others

2. You’re gratitude in your interactions

Having a high-class personality also means being gratitude. It’s about carrying yourself with dignity, and being generous with your time, your praise, and your understanding     

Gratitude people are understanding and forgiving. They don’t hold grudges or let small issues ruin their relationships with others  

So if you find yourself often extending grace to others in your daily life, that’s another sign you have a high-class personality, wealth or not  

3. You value learning and growth

If you’re someone who values continuous learning and personal growth, then that’s another sign of a high-class personality

So if you find yourself constantly seeking knowledge and personal development, you’re showing a sign of a high-class personality, regardless of your financial status

4. You’re reliable and trustworthy

Another indicator of a high-class personality is reliability and trustworthiness. If people can count on you, it speaks volumes about your character

Being reliable means that you keep your promises, meet your commitments, and always try to do the right thing. It’s about having integrity and being someone others can depend on

Trustworthiness, on the other hand, is about being honest and transparent in your dealings with others. You don’t manipulate or deceive; you say what you mean, mean what you say, and your actions align with your words

5. You practice empathy

Empathy is a powerful trait and a clear sign of a high-class personality. It’s the ability to understand and share the feelings of others

People who are always playing catch up in life usually display these behaviors

 

1. Procrastination

Procrastination is one of the most common behaviors displayed by those who always seem to be playing catch up in life. It’s a vicious cycle they delay tasks, which creates more work for them in the future, leading to increased stress and even more procrastination     

If you find yourself constantly putting things off until the last minute, it might be time to confront your behavior and work on strategies to overcome procrastination  

2. Perfectionism

Those constantly playing catch up often have an all-or-nothing mindset. They want everything to be perfect and are willing to spend extra time and effort to achieve it. A single mistake or failure can send them into a spiral of self-doubt and anxiety

it’s a surefire way to end up playing catch up. It’s important to strive for excellence, but it’s also crucial to understand that mistakes are part of the process and they’re how we learn and grow      

3. Lack of planning

A lack of planning is a common trait among these individuals. They tend to jump into tasks without a clear plan in place, only to find themselves in a mess later on. This could range from not setting daily goals and priorities to not having a long-term vision for their lives

Without a plan, it’s easy to get sidetracked, waste time on unimportant tasks, and ultimately fall behind. On the other hand, having a clear plan can guide your actions, help you stay focused and organized, and save you from the endless cycle of catching up

4. Multitasking

Those who are always playing catch up often fall into the trap of multitasking, thinking they can get more done. They might be on a conference call while answering emails, or working on a report while also helping their kids with homework

Multitasking can lead to more mistakes, lower quality work, and increased stress levels. So if you want to break the cycle of always playing catch up, it might be time to ditch the multitasking and focus on one task at a time

5. Neglecting self care

This might seem counterintuitive, but those who are always playing catch up often neglect their own self-care. They might skip meals, sacrifice sleep, or forgo exercise in an attempt to make more time for work

But here’s the thing neglecting self-care doesn’t give you more time, it just drains your energy and reduces your productivity. It’s like trying to run a car without ever changing the oil or getting a tune-up. Eventually, it’s going to break down

Self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. By taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional health, we can boost our energy levels, improve our focus, and ultimately become more productive

If you truly want to be happy in life then start adopting these key habits

1. Embrace gratitude in your daily life

When it comes to happiness, one habit stands out among the rest. And that’s gratitude

It’s about acknowledging the good that exists even amidst challenges

Being grateful means recognizing the beauty in a mundane day, appreciating a good book, or cherishing a heartwarming conversation with a friend

Once you start practicing gratitude daily, you’ll notice a shift in your perspective towards life

You can’t help but feel happier, and this may even spill out to those around you

2. Cultivate positive relationships

This theory suggests that our relationships with others play a significant role in our overall happiness

It’s not just about having people around you. It’s about cultivating positive, meaningful connections

These are the relationships where you feel seen, heard, and valued

Remember, positive relationships aren’t built overnight. They require effort, understanding, and patience

So take the time to nurture these relationships

3. Learn to enjoy your own company

Just as it’s important to cultivate positive relationships, it’s equally crucial to enjoy your own company. Yes, you read that right

and 

spending time alone often leads to more positive emotions and higher levels of happiness

But let’s clarify something here. Enjoying your own company doesn’t mean isolating yourself from others and 

It means being content with solitude and using it as an opportunity for self-reflection and growth

4. Practice mindfulness

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, without truly experiencing your life?

But practicing mindfulness can be a game-changer for your happiness

Mindfulness is all about being present in the moment, without judgment

It’s about tuning into your senses, noticing your thoughts and feelings, and truly engaging with your surroundings

You can practice mindfulness in simple ways like really tasting your morning coffee, listening to the sounds around you during a walk, or focusing on your actions when you feel overwhelmed

5. Foster a growth mindset

A growth mindset, a term coined by psychologist Carol Dweck, can significantly enhance your happiness

When you adopt a growth mindset, you view life as a journey of learning and self-improvement

You understand that mistakes and setbacks are not failures, but opportunities for growth

This can lead to a profound shift in how you approach your life and ultimately, your happiness

So, consider cultivating a growth mindset. It might just be the key to unlocking greater happiness in your life

Important habits of people who wealthy but lack class and sophistication

 

1. Flaunting wealth

The truly classy and sophisticated individuals understand that wealth is not a status symbol to flaunt

Those who lack class, however, often feel need to showcase their wealth in ostentatious ways. This could be through extravagant purchases, excessive name-dropping or a constant need to remind others of their financial status

In all honesty, sophistication is about subtlety and modesty. It’s about knowing you have it, without feeling need to shout it from rooftops

2. Lack of humility

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that humility is a virtue that’s often overlooked, especially among some wealthy individuals

It was a disappointing encounter and a stark reminder that wealth does not equate to class or sophistication. True class lies in humility and ability to treat everyone as equals, regardless of their status or wealth

3. Lack of charity

While wealth can provide means to make a significant impact in world, not everyone chooses to use it in this way

People who lack class and sophistication often keep their money to themselves, ignoring opportunities to give back

It’s a stark contrast to world’s most philanthropic billionaires. Warren Buffet and BillGates, for instance, have pledged to give away at least half of their wealth through The Giving Pledge

and 

Charitable giving is not just about tax breaks or public image; it’s a reflection of empathy and understanding that wealth is a tool that can be used to help others

4. Ignoring etiquette

Etiquette might seem like an outdated concept to some but it still holds value in today’s world. It’s about showing respect for others, and understanding social norms and expectations

Yet, some wealthy individuals who lack class and sophistication often disregard these norms. They might talk loudly on their phone in public places, interrupt others while they’re speaking, or fail to practice basic table manners

These seemingly small behaviors can say a lot about a person’s character. Ignoring etiquette shows a lack of respect for others and a disregard for societal standards

5. Flashy displays

There’s a distinct difference between enjoying finer things in life and making a flashy display of wealth. It’s not uncommon for people who are wealthy but lack class to indulge in latter

Oversized mansions, designer clothing with prominent logos these are all ways in which wealth can be displayed ostentatiously. But in the end, these displays often come across as try-hard and lacking in taste

True sophistication lies in understated, not the ostentatious. It’s about appreciating quality over quantity, and understanding that more isn’t always better

Subtle behaviors that instantly win people over according to psychology

 

1. Active listening

In the realm of human interactions, nothing screams “I value you” more than the act of active listening. This simple, yet often overlooked behavior can be your secret weapon to winning people over

Active listening isn’t just about hearing the words someone is saying. It’s about paying attention to their body language, their tone of voice, and the emotions behind their words. It’s about showing empathy and understanding  

2. Offering help

We all need a helping hand from time to time. When we extend ours to someone in need, it speaks volumes about our character  

Offering help isn’t about expecting something in return. It’s about showing empathy and kindness, understanding that we all face challenges and sometimes, a little assistance can make a big difference     

There’s something wonderfully human about reaching out and offering to lighten someone else’s load. It creates a bond, a sense of shared humanity that can instantly win people over    

3. Expressing gratitude

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”. It’s about recognizing the good in others, and acknowledging how they’ve positively impacted your life

When we express gratitude, we not only make the other person feel appreciated, but we also show them that we don’t take them for granted and 

So whether it’s a colleague who helped you with a difficult task, a friend who listened to you vent about a bad day, or a stranger who held the door open for you take a moment to express your gratitude. This subtle behavior can instantly win people over and leave a lasting positive impression

4. Keep patience

Patience is a virtue that I’ve learned the hard way. Early in my career, I was eager to get things done quickly and would often rush through tasks, meetings, and even conversations

Patience shows respect and consideration for others. It demonstrates that you’re willing to give them the time and space they need, which can instantly create a positive impression

So, whether it’s waiting for someone to finish their sentence before you jump in with your thoughts or giving someone the time they need to complete a task without hovering over them practice patience

5. Being authentic

Authenticity is about being true to yourself and showing others your real self, with all your quirks, passions and imperfections     

Being authentic doesn’t mean oversharing or disregarding social norms. It means being honest, staying true to your values and not pretending to be someone you’re not

Authenticity builds trust and fosters meaningful connections. It gives people the freedom to be themselves around you, which can instantly win them over

If you want your days to feel richer and more fulfilling the don't do these habits

1. Mindless scrolling

Do believe it’s an apt description for the changes that come over us when we scroll on our phones mindlessly. We do it out of habit, with no real destination or benefit. And in the process, a lot of things happen

Our attention spans get shorter

We lose track of time 

Our mood often drops 

Productivity suffers 

Sleep quality declines 

And the most important of all we miss out on the richness of real-world interactions

You don’t have to quit social media entirely though. Just be more mindful and lay down some ground rules for yourself so you can limit it

2. Comparing yourself to others

It’s quite natural to compare ourselves with others; this has always gone on since the dawn of time

However, with the advent of social media, this habit has escalated to new heights. We are bombarded with curated snapshots of other people’s lives, and we completely buy into it

We let it mess with our heads and make our own lives look tiny in comparison. Instead of seeing how good we actually already have it, instead of focusing on what actually makes us happy. we convince ourselves that we’ve got to keep up

3. Procrastination

Do you think that if you push back that unpleasant task a few more hours, you’ll feel better

Think about it: even if you’re “playing hooky”, the knowledge that you have something left to do is still humming around in the back of your head and

In contrast, when you get it done right away and check it off your list, there’s so much satisfaction, isn’t it? It’s so fulfilling to know that you’ve done the responsible thing, even if you hated it

4. Overcommitting

If you have a tendency to overcommit, chances are, you’re spending your days catering to others and not enough to yourself

Of course, it’s great to help out and connect with others. But if you’re always saying yes because you feel like you have to, then it’s draining you instead of making your life richer

It’s all about finding a balance. Your time and energy are limited, so being more picky about where you spend them is essential to feeling fulfilled

5. Complaining

Complaining can feel cathartic at the moment, but beyond that, it leaves us with a sullen mood that drags everyone around us down. And the more we complain, the more we focus on what’s wrong

Do enough of that day in and day out, and it can spiral into a more pessimistic view of life

complaining makes our hippocampus smaller. That’s the part of the brain responsible or memory and problem solving

Empathy is a cornerstone of being a good person

2. You respect others

Respect is about recognizing the value of others and treating them with kindness and understanding. It’s about accepting people as they are, regardless of their background, beliefs, or choices

Honesty is a fundamental trait of a good person

But let’s be clear, being honest doesn’t mean bluntly voicing every thought that comes to mind. It means being truthful in a respectful and considerate way

It’s about owning up to your mistakes instead of covering them up. It’s about speaking up when something isn’t right, even if it’s uncomfortable. And it’s about being authentic and true to who you are

5. You’re patience with yourself and others

Patience is a virtue, and it’s also a sign of a good person. Being patient means you understand that things take time. It shows that you can maintain your composure in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset

It’s about being patient with yourself when you make mistakes, understanding that no one is perfect and we all have our own growth paths

And it’s about being patient with others, giving them the space to grow at their own pace

This shows your understanding and acceptance of the human condition

Be now and Be here 

Be yourself and Be happiness
