Be proud of your behavior. Rise above your emotions. Let your nature shine through.
Our behavior separates us from the crowd. It shows that we human beings can rise above emotions and other challenges of everyday life. Human attitudes are as diverse as the emotions that we experience and feel. Why do negative emotions seem to get the better of us? What is human nature and is it at the core of the way we behave or is there more to it all?Human nature is an oft looked at but ill-understood thing. How can we rise above things to be the 'superior' creature that logic would say that we ought to be. Falling prey to emotions - negative or positive - may not be the way forward to a balanced, satisfying and successful life.
We can live consciously and make a real impact in life or fall prey to any emotion that comes along. How we behave is our choice, our decision as to which route we take. And this decision is moment by moment, day by day, constantly there before us to make. With thought, supported by our value system, we can travel the path that leads us to walk with pride through life. And in so doing, make a real contribution to life as a whole.
So, when we talk about human behavior or nature what do we mean?
- How we act or react to outside influences
- Whether we act with thought and consideration or are led along by outside forces
- Our actions can be acceptable or unacceptable, common or unusual
- We can act with meaning and purpose, or be rudderless
- We can be well motivated or we can be poorly motivated
- How we behave can be influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, persuasion and authority to name a few
- How we behave can be affected by our attitudes, what we perceive to be the norm, and our expectation of success from our action
Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes. Emily Dickinson |
What part do our emotions (negative or otherwise) play?
- They can play an important role in all our activities
- They can be hard to define or categorise
- We associate them mentally with both thoughts and feelings
- Some believe they occur unconsciously
- Others focus more, not on the emotion itself, but what instigates it
- Yet others think they arise principally as a result of bodily changes
