All behaviors that are considered irrational involve uncontrolled emotions that govern your behavior. To avoid such a takeover, one should find it necessary to identify emotions and their source to determine what changes should be made. The behavior of any human being can be aligned with emotions, limiting your navigation of risky situations. Emotions that are understood teach you about yourself by increasing your sense of self and doubling down on your confidence to assist you in managing inevitable uncertainties. An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous will cause pain by producing imminent harm. Living by this quiet mandate lessens your thinking mobility to venture out by expanding your emotional takeover and understanding. As you take more strategic chances, you advance the idea of the opportunity to define your thinking strengths for the better. Continuing to fool and lie to yourself is an existence that will come full circle to reveal who you are, as life and time have their way of winning.
As common as ‘irrational behavior’ is, many people lack the intelligence to discover the truth about themselves on all levels. Why? The absolute truth is too scary for many to admit. Running from what the truth means prevents these same people from changing anything. Your sense of self is threatened if nothing about what you believed before compels you to change, alter, or modify through compromise.
On the other hand, if there is a pending change to your life that limits your mobility to do and be who you’ve been, a serious assessment of what you want must be applied. However, many people can tell you what they don’t wish to be but find difficulty in saying what they need. Remember, the ease of accusing or pointing the finger creates a myth about yourself and who you are not, and that’s irrational.
