"Don't make decisions based off of emotion."
A kind friend who cares for me deeply said that to me yesterday and I'm not gonna lie, it hit me pretty hard. That's the best piece of advice I've gotten in awhile. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for feelings and am not an advocate for becoming a Fembot (and neither is my friend). I think there is danger in ignoring pain, hurt, bitterness, jealousy and the roots of them all. I know that when I try to cover up how a situation has really made me feel, I end up acting even more crazy than I feared I would have if I had just owned it in the first place.
What you said hurt my feelings. What you did made me feel left out. When you look at me that way, I feel like you're judging me.
Why is that so hard to say to someone or even to admit to myself?
When I don't look at how a situation has truly impacted me, I tend to let my emotions manifest into assumptions about others. And that's a dangerous place to be. It looks a little something like this: "Well, she's a little too sassy for always getting what she wants and has never lifted a finger or worked hard for anything in her life. So basically I'm justified in feeling jealous of her, disliking her and writing her off." Or like this: "Those people have it all together and I don't, so I'm justified in putting up a wall, throwing in the towel and isolating myself."
I don't know about you, but I have a lot of thoughts like this.
And the truth is, it's more hurtful to myself than it is to anyone else. When I write others off and hold onto bitterness, I'm not living a life of love and I can feel the weight of that...I don't even know what to call it...hate? Negativity? Pessimism? Ugliness? Guilt? All of the above?
So here's my solution:
I'll look for the red flag: when I use someone's actions or words as a justification for my own.
I'll stop comparing.
I'll start remembering that even if someone seems like they have it all together, they are probably just as screwed up as me. And they probably need a friend. Who doesn't?.
I'll no longer be fooled by distance and how it can trick me into thinking someone or something or some situation is perfect. It'll keep me from dehumanizing someone. It'll help me find beauty in the fact that we, not matter how different we are, are really all the same: in need of second chances, the benefit of the doubt and a little more grace than usual.
Over the past 2 years I´ve read a wide range of books to inspire me proffesionally. My fav is Dan Ariely Predictably Irrational. Seth Godin is a obvious must. Dan Pink has given proof of why both parts of the brain must be used every single day at work. Some books were not available at photoshoot. If your slightly interested in how life will be be in the coming years, the books presented here will be of tremendous help.
The complete list from top:
Thomas Friedman The World is Flat
Seth Godin Small is the New Big
Steven Levitt/ Stephen Dubner Freakonomics
Seth Godin Tribes
Daniel Pink A Whole New Mind
Dennis Qualman Socialnomics
Dan Ariely Predictably Irrational
Henry Jenkins Convergence Culture
Chris Anderson The Long Tail
Charlene Li/ Josh Bernhoff Groundswell
