Is Your Life Molded by Self Growth Or Societal Influences?

Is your character and thought molded by self growth or societal influences? By the time you will be done reading this article, then you will know exactly what to do…

Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are what governs our choices in life and determines the path we ultimately take. For that reason we must guard against emotional complacency and take charge of our inner chatter so that our outward lives take on the direction we desire.

In order to overcome problems and discover your unique sense of self in society, you should work on developing strength of mind. This helps you to see your problems clearly and act rather than react to triggered emotions.

We will always encounter people and events in society that will get us down by causing distress. We should learn how to control our reactions and how to make better choices.

Life is filled with choices. Choices are tough and a wrong one will destroy life. You choose your friends, your job and the way you handle the various situations you deal with on a daily basis. Making good choices will build your character and strengthen your mind. Bad choices will cause you problems along the way, emotional stress and maybe even turmoil and suffering.

Situations will always arise in life; it is the way we deal with them that will determine our fate. If you react to anger by being angry yourself, you will grow to develop a violent nature that may lead to disastrous complications at some point in the future.

No matter what triggers your emotions, you must learn how to properly respond in a way that will strengthen your character and improve your life in the long run. When you are in charge of your emotions, then you can move mountains.

Too many people today let societal influences mold their thoughts and their character. They allow teachers, religious leaders and political leaders to tell them how to think and react. This is the big reason why we have so many problems in society today. Too many people don't work to develop a sense of self and don't think on their own.

We are all born with the ability to cultivate a sense of identity and an individual personality. We have to be on guard against becoming dehumanized, demoralized or desensitized by society and life.

We must always strive towards self growth and cultivate our individual identities. By doing so we can create bright futures filled with happiness because we are remaining true to our own natures.
