Sociologists and scientists studying the phenomenon of man living in society agree that man is essentially a social animal: he cannot live in isolation for long and needs to interact with others like himself in order to not only survive, but to develop. This development, when guided only by motives of self-interest and progress will have limited success whereas if man is guided by higher interests, such as the greater good of all, he is likely to experience better results for the world he lives in as well as himself. This is the ends towards which man should ideally strive, after having understood his relation to the society and its norms.
Not all these things always work out by themselves the way the individual hopes they will as other factors may be at play here, too, such as the way negativity affects our fragile human souls e.g. the emotional aspects in us humans are influenced greatly by negative feelings, doubts and remarks that dishonest persons may use for their gain and these get stored in the mind’s subliminal compartment only to revive again when we least need them to.
This kind of storing of negative thoughts and concepts in the subconscious mind is unhealthy for personal growth or public good as these send messages of ‘unworthiness’ to us, which we can do without when looking for answers to questions such as our role in society, our duty towards society and not simply our rights as a society member!
To overcome the negativity aspect of what our sub-conscious mind stores, it is necessary for the intelligent and aware individual to always keep a track of the bigger picture and not limit his view. One way of ensuring the negatives do not take over the positive views of the mind is to learn self-talk and subliminal learning practices so that success is never more than a trained, disciplined and progressive thought process away.
Another way to ban the mind from thinking or acting out negative thoughts is to eat right to think right; combine balanced, nutritive and light meals with regular physical exercise in fresh air and you have the fool-proof mantra for a healthier self-identity goal by ensuring all round development of self and thus, prove to be an asset to society – by being your best!!
Now, it may be troubling you how you can keep this constant. However, it is not that difficult to attain – these life-goals towards discovering your self-identity and improving it to become a better fit in society. All you have to do is just ensure you balance out each right with a reward i.e. achieve a goal and give yourself the satisfaction of having reached there with a little something to boost your morale. E.g. for sticking to a weight loss goal, buy yourself a new outfit, for keeping your temper in control, buy some soothing new music CD and you will find a new you in the same society, but made more beautiful as you react positively to it. Start today – and find the best You!
