As we were talking on a recent post, lack of clarity may be the main reason you don´t have the life you want. You need to learn how to go beyond your dreams and goals. First, identify your strength and weakness. Gain clarity. Master your mind and emotions instead of being a slave to them. A clear vision of your future will bring more success and joy in your life than you ever thought possible.
So, what is it you really want in all spheres of life? I called them spheres but you may identify and call them however you want. The important thing here is recognizing the distinct and different aspects in which we move and live our lives. You may add another aspect not contemplated here, adopt some of them, even ignore one or two of what I´m proposing. It is your life, you know best what aspects, what spheres are important to you.
First, let me remind you we are a mixture of what we think, belief, feel, and do, of what we like, and even of what we dislike. We are a combination of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, actions, and likes that make us different, special, unique.
Second, I´ll ask you, what is it you want for you now in each of the spheres of life, what would you say? Your answer would probably be: Ok Jaime, what is this of spheres? What do you mean?
Then, I would tell you: “You and I move in a series of Spheres of Influence. You and I, as social beings, create relationships and bonds with other people. We tend to be with those with whom in our uniqueness have touching points. We share ideas, values, or do things together” and will continue describing the social sphere.
Of course, as humans, we need each other. We interact with people everywhere. You and I work, study and enjoy life in the company of others. We educate ourselves and grow as persons to serve others while we serve ourselves. We enjoy good health thanks to the service of other people and what we do to promote it.
Afterwards, I would cite the great greek philosopher:
“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.”
Aristotle
In fact, Man, as a species is a social being. Therefore, one of his vital needs is the desire to establish personal relationships with other human beings. The resultant social bonds from these associations make it easier to satisfy other needs as well.
We want to want to be part of the bunch; nowadays we are indeed living every day in such a hurry, so busy that we barely have time for one another, thus leading us to think that we rather are living a self-contained life. Wrong. We all know we are most comfortable and happy when we share strong emotions and stories with people, we make connections with.
This has become evident in the past few months when due to the Coronavirus pandemic we have been quarantined or confined if you will. We have found ways to stay in touch with friends and family. You probably have contacted or been contacted by people you had not heard from in decades!
In conclusion, A clear vision of your social sphere brings for a successful and joyful social life. After all, we are social animals and we enjoy living in a society with other people. This is one basic behavioral pattern we exhibit. Experts agree that there is a very close relationship between each of us and the rest of society. Whether any given person could have grown up under conditions in which there did not exist any society is a different matter, but the truth is that without a social background that individual will become an unstable individual.
