Entitled Opinions
It’s not up to us to straighten out someone’s thinking. There are licensed professionals for that. However, isn’t it refreshing to recognize there are alternative viewpoints and choices to explore in the universe? This article is about 14 life truths for success in your life.
I had this Math Professor named Mr. Feldman in Pershing J.H.S. or middle school, who played with sum totals of mathematical equations. That was his white whale and he enjoyed math with a passion. It honored me he was our instructor and made arithmetic exciting. Clearly, the guy could’ve been more than a professor, but Mr Feldman was ours. He had tricks he played using the number 9 to solve math equations immediately. Life can seem like an equation you must solve to get to the next level.
Criticism is often mistaken for negativity, but with feedback, you can adjust your thinking and focus on improvement. We believe adversity to be a temporary status, which creates room for learning. Together, feedback and adversity should be food for thought and a catalyst for productive change.
Have you ever had anyone firmly say you’re wrong? And when you show your rationale, they’re ready to disapprove and direct your focus elsewhere. Why is it significant to others, you accept their viewpoints as your very own? Are your goals synonymous with theirs? It’s because they do not want to be alone in their thinking. It’s disconcerting for some people when others have opposing thoughts and conflicting perspectives, which cast doubt on their own existing beliefs. Opposing thoughts or not, you feel emotionally secure when friends concur with you.
Quickly, you will notice a bond forming with like-minded people during social functions. Animals gather collectively in the wild for survival. These like-minded individuals cling together in the same way. This is an effort to strengthen bonds within that group. This bonding is often mistaken for correctness, and any opposition to the contrary may appear worthless (The Making of a Lynch Mob).

Mindsets
We’re all biased, some more than others with our likes and dislikes. It’s all learned behavior from the environment, personal experience, or peers. Nutrition is important for healthy brain function. When you’re famished or poor, your thinking isn’t clear as a person/s fed well. Many poor people believe wealthy people are hoarding and stingy with money they can’t get to. This is simply not the case. The money is ever flowing constantly among the people, some save and others invest wisely. The people who are doing well often sacrifice for a higher purpose, usually family or future.
Nobody handles your spending habits but you. The more we get to know others, the more likely we are to find fault with them. Each of us wants something from the other. This is how nature functions in perfect harmony to get things accomplished. Couples get married, businesses merge, families have functions, friends, church members, and coworkers unite to get help to achieve goals.
“If you dislike wealthy people, you will never be one of them.” ~ T. harv Eckart
Knowledge is readily available through the internet, books, audio podcasts, webinars, and videos. There’s no excuse standing in your way of learning the tools wealthy people used to succeed. Once you attain this knowledge, your life will change because of new information. Then you recognize ignorance was standing in the way and not a particular person or thing, but your own limiting subconscience of self-beliefs. Get rid of these limiting self-beliefs one habit at a time so you can grow.
Cognitive dissonance causes feelings of unease and tension, and people attempt to relieve this discomfort. Examples include: “explaining things away” or rejecting new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs.
Arrested development creates chaos, defenses, and breakdowns because a person has reached their learning or developmental plateau.
Changing Mindsets
Detoxify your life, reflect on self-awareness with meditation. Demand of yourself wonderful relationships that build character. Place thoughts in your mind that will positively multiply goodwill. Build confidence with outer appearance dressing, body contouring, or building. Eat healthy foods daily to build stamina and endurance.
A business that operates an open system interacts with its environment through giving and receiving intelligence. In a closed-system, interactions only happen within the specific system, which means closed-systems are shut off from the outside environment. They convey every interaction within that closed-system.
Intelligent people know good comradery is constructive when everybody has something marvelous to offer. If you approach a situation in a hostile way, it’s presumed you lack intelligence. Kind words and a sincere heart don’t mean you’ll get respect, but it’s a step in the ideal direction for good relations. Don’t base loyalty or friendship exclusively on “time spent”, but rather on time “spent well”. Was it favorable? Did it add to your life, or did it present a problem? Take stock of yourself and sort yourself out. Don’t shrink your growth to appease others.
Develop your own core beliefs through education and goal setting. Wealthy people hire other wealthy people for the disciplined areas of their lives. Their personal trainer, chef, gardener, and dog groomer are all professionals and most likely wealthy. Therefore, you can’t come to the table empty-handed. Let your reputation proceed with you by having good work habits. There’s no elevator to succeed. You must take the stairs. If you hang around something long enough, you will become it. Hang around like-minded people.

Education is Life
“Education is Life Itself” ~ John Dewey. -Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on John Dewey.
Quit competing with others in non-competitive environments. Stop comparing yourself to others. It turns into anxiety, jealousy, doubt, and fear. Thoughts like these are detrimental to any success. Start competing with the person in the mirror (YOU). Become a better person than you were yesterday. Keep competition in its rightful place.
Make time for personal development by reading more books, exercising, eating right, and personal hygiene. Personal development is self-improvement and empowerment. There isn’t any competition unless we make it for ourselves. Train your mind to inspire, build, and strengthen you. Exercise a constant renewing of your mind and increase in knowledge daily. Romans 12:2, Proverbs 4:1-7.
