There are people out there whose primary goal is to make your life as good and comfortable as possible, regardless of their thoughts, needs, and feelings.

Yet, this fawning behavior can have severe negative consequences when taken too far.

That’s why we need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. This is how to do it.

We have this notion that we should be instantly rewarded whenever we do something good.

When we don’t get this immediate gratification of our impulsive desires, we get the feeling that we didn’t get the payoff we deserve. This short-term gratification that we so desire can be in the form of a compliment, a present, or anything else that pleases us.

However, learning delayed gratification is necessary to become successful. This is why.

Ethics are hard to define since they’re abstract and manipulable by society. They’re not something concrete that we can physically detect with our own eyes.

Yet, ethics and human values in addition to our morals are important for society to remain well-oiled. For example, telling the truth is the moral obligation of each individual to keep society from turning malevolent.

A healthy amount of self-esteem is vital to live a happy, fulfilling life. It allows us to reach our goals in the future by being daring enough to undertake challenges in addition to trying out new things.

And while some people are naturally more self-assured than others, there are several things we can do to improve our sureness. The loudest person in the room is for sure not always the most confident one.

This is how to build up self-confidence.

Today we’ll be talking about individual vs collective culture. We’re going to explore and give tips on how the individual can survive in a group.

People are social animals. As a result, each individual is bound to wind up in multiple groups, with each group consisting of multiple different people.

This way, each individual can talk with one another and work together, effectively sharing the load. Let’s take a look at why we should cherish and nurture our individuality and how this is beneficial to a group.

Let’s face it, not everyone’s goals are noble and pure. That’s why we need to learn how to find out someone’s intentions, to filter those with dubious purposes from the good ones.

We need to know if someone has good intents or bad ones for our own safety. Because harmful people can be a danger to us. Be it physically or mentally.

During our life, we acquire an incredibly large amount of life lessons.

Unfortunately, life teaches a lot of those instructions to us the hard way. The lockdown that was induced due to COVID-19 has taught me additional life lessons that were vital to my development as well.

There are some life lessons that I learned along the way. These teachings were often learned in a hard and painful way.
