Behavior Stemming From Heavily Saturated Frustration Levels
We see right through our lives, as well as in our day to day experiences, that most of us exhibit extremely self centered behavior in specific circumstances. Such behavior seems to stem from heavily saturated frustration levels , and has become a generally predictable outcome of behavior involving two or more people in any contentious social interaction.
Be it traffic jam on the road, competition for parking, cozy office environment requiring information exchange between colleagues, siblings competing for limited family resources, neighbors fighting over small privileges, and the list of instances goes on where etiquette is sacrificed.
Self Reflection on the Level and Quality of "Life Skills Education" Is Required
Just a little bit of self reflection can make us aware that our unkind behavior towards others cannot get justified under the cover of our own mistakes and incorrect living. Because the problem lies with our own choice of either not getting proper education, here by education we do not mean the formal school or college education but the life skills education, where we are taught to differentiate right from the wrong, ethical from the unethical, appropriate from the inappropriate, truth from the false, etc, .Teaching us about the two extremes, as well as the infinite number of choices falling in between. What we choose depends on the level and quality of our life skills education at that point in time, or our inability to apply the learning’s of the life skills education received due to our apathy or lack of correct understanding.
The need of the hour is to get thoroughly absorbed in the realization that following the prescribed etiquettes is not only the necessity but a prerequisite on which any sustainable success can be founded. We all know that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction, if we can only apply this law in our own behavior we will soon realize we have a magic wand in our hands, meaning now we can program others to respond to us in a particular way. Let us say we want a smile from others, we need to offer a smile and a smile would come back to us. When we lose our cool and get angry on others we forget this law because of which we evoke the emotions of “getting angry” in the other person, it is as simple as that. So let us follow the wisdom before we can be happy , by keeping simple things simple and not complicating them by giving others what we do not want from them or to put it right "we must take care that we give others only what we would like to get from them".
Preserve Energy to Move towards Our Respective Goals with Faster Speed
It is very true that the prescribed etiquettes & manners are the end result of a very well thought out strategy to bring peace, harmony and civility in our society and success to the individuals following them. The degree of success directly proportional to the degree to which the etiquettes & manners are correctly followed Therefore it is very important to reflect on our day to day behavior and evaluate it against the acceptable prescribed standards of etiquettes & manners in each and every social interaction we encounter for harnessing the power of correct living to achieve happiness and bliss. This will open up new relaxation zone for us, where we would not only have support in our chosen endeavor from all the quarters but will also help preserve our energy to move towards our respective goals with faster speed.
Let's not wait for the others to evoke any type of response from us, but must take the initiative to proactively take control of our own behavior as well as leading by example for others to emulate, for achieving happiness and fulfillment in our lives.
God Bless
Success N Synergy
