“History helps us to create co-relation with event or action. It clarifies how things are related to each other.

Yes, you r selfish, because you hv stopped doing what they want you to do for them.

Powerless people use various tactics, such as getting upset, withdrawing, nagging, ridiculing, pouting, crying, or getting angry, to pressure, manipulate, and punish one another into keeping this pact. However, this ongoing power play does nothing to make them happy and mitigate their anxiety in the long term. In fact, their anxiety only escalates by continually affirming that they are not actually powerful. Any sense of love and safety they feel by gaining or surrendering control is tenuous and fleeting. A relational bond built on mutual control simply cannot produce anything remotely like safety, love, or trust. It can only produce more fear, pain, distrust, punishment, and misery. And when taken to an extreme, it produces things like domestic violence.”

“It’s important to understand your Emotions, An emotion is a strong feeling, a feeling such as joy, sadness, fear, or anger that moves us all the times. The experience create and makes us live not just exist. It transforms our life from a plain tasteless events, facts into a living and breathing experience.Our feelings controls our energy. When we are upset, it’s usually hard to think clearly, behave properly and choose wisely.On the other hand, when you feel joyful, secure, cared for and appreciated your heart rhythms become even and smooth and that is where the power is, that is where the positivity is generated.Emotional control and effective interpersonal relationships have made the difference between success and failure. You have to learn to ride the waves of emotion, instead of letting them knock you over.If we can learn to balance the control of our instincts, reflexes and basic physical functions and also learn how to drive our feelings and emotions as they are our inner guide of likes and dislikes then it’s a win, bcoz that is were our own survival is.”

“Family trees: We can all make time and do our family trees .Make it smaller so that u can have an energy to make it work.One of my most interesting realizations from this thinking and from seeing many examples is that we probably should think and execute on a smaller level. If we do this, we are more likely to succeed.This is how you can get to know the 0.01% of your bloodline who left written records, the ones closest to you in time, the ones you may have known in this life. Start by talking to the oldest living members of your family or anyone who knew them. You want two pieces of information from them- all of the names and dates you can get (full names, maiden names, birth and death dates and places) and any stories they may be able to tell.The stories will give you insight into your own life and the human condition, and if you are lucky ,it will carry you through joyful and tough times for the rest of your life. Even if the stories aren’t all that meaningful, they will at least give you a glimpse of who these people who made you were.”
