Human Emotions and Characteristics and how to use them in a positive way

Some #emotions/#characteristics are #positive and can make you a better person and some are #negative and can take you into destruction, unless you know how to control and use them to your advantage. How to do this? What are the most common emotions and characteristics?

I did small research with some people online and I have discovered that they always prefer #positive and #humorous connotation when they are online than negative.

Fear

Fear of failure, ridicule, rejection, confrontation... This is primary negative feeling. It has been our compass since we were cave people. It is deeply rooted in us and also very useful even tough it is negative. However, nowadays people have many unreal fears that only slows them down and sometimes destroy their dreams.

To overcome any fear we must first recognize it.

You can defeat the fear by doing the thing you are scared of, or by learning more about it and gradually overcome it with reasoning.

Jealousy /Envy

This often happens when we meet successful people or people that have something that we want. This has nothing to do with the people who we envy,  but with us.

To get the things successful people have and we desire so much, we MUST work for them. Wanting things, but not doing anything to get them will accomplish NOTHING. Instead of focusing on what successful people have, focus on how you will get there with your own efforts. Focus your energy on how you can realize your dreams, not on how to destroy someone else's.

Anger –destructive

This happens when things don’t go as we want/imagined/expected. The best thing to do is to calm yourself before acting. Next, revalue your goals and expectations (lower them or work harder) and change your plan and strategy accordingly. Lastly, remember that you are to blame if things don’t turn out as you wished, not other people or the world. Correct your mistakes and adjust. Also remember that you are to be credited if things go as you wanted/expected.

Laziness and Procrastination

This is really dangerous! It directly relates to our priorities! If you procrastinate something (usually a Dream) it means that it is not THAT important to you. If it was, you would have been working on it, not just dreaming about it! Do some time management, make plans, steps, boards, check your resources and see how you can progress towards your Dream! One step at a time.

The “comfort zone” is also to blame. People waste their lifetimes just so they can stay in it. Don’t be like them. Their dreams are long dead.

Disappointment and Frustration

This happens when we fail in our attempts or when the progress is slow. That is normal. Every person has a bad luck occasionally. Try to keep the positive attitude and always try to move forward even if it means to use small steps.

Confusion

Every time we don’t understand something we either assume things or we feel stupid. Both ways are wrong way to go! If you have problems with anything do the research! Read, learn, ask. Don’t just sit in the darkness and grow desperate with every minute.

Pride and Confidence

This goes both as good and as bad. If it is in moderate amounts, you can use them in your advantage as you will feel confident to try out new things and you will look strong and trustworthy to others.

If you have it in excessive amounts it can be devastating because as you can lose focus, miss out the wrong moves you make and end up self-destructing! Other people will see you as someone full of themselves and unapproachable.

Competitiveness

This is relatively good personality trait as it gives you will and strength to go forward and withstand pressure.

Just don’t forget that the only person you should compete with is yourself.

Kindness

Kindness is very good personality trait. Even in business you can be kind. Share your success, share your knowledge, be respectful and never abuse others. The more you give the more you will receive.

Sense of Humor

This is very helpful in business, but also in life. Your co-workers will feel relaxed, positive and happy to work with you.

Just don’t overdo it, as they will stop taking you seriously.

Honesty

Never mislead people, never promise something you can’t fulfill. You can trick people only once. Is it worth it?

If you are unable to do something or you don’t know how, tell it so.

Respect

Firstly, respect yourself. Then respect your family, friends and co-workers. Never be rude and never diminish others. Don’t put down other people. Instead, lift them up, for you are like the five people you socialize the most.

Hope and Belief

Always hope for better, always work on improving yourself, your surroundings and your work!

Hope is like an arrow that points into the future. If you can follow it, it can take you far.

You are what you believe that you are! Believe in yourself!

Love

Love yourself. Love what you do, love the ones you do it for.

One can always tell if they are loved/wanted somewhere or not.

This is primary positive feeling. It drives us towards good things in life and towards people that are like us.

Hate, as opposite of love, only takes us to the opposite direction i.e. towards things that we hate and the kind of people that we dislike.

All humans are driven by emotions. If you know how to control yours, you can avoid many problems and advance faster in #business, but also in #life.
