Things That Cause Life Problems
So, let’s discuss these two things that cause life problems one by one.
1. We act without thinking
If you look closely, a lot of people end up getting into trouble because they do silly things, for the sake of viral content on social media which results in insults, and in the end they apologize or regret it.
How many people are angry, annoyed at someone who ends up slipping and insulting someone else, or doing something that ends up in a legal case.
How many friendships are destroyed just because of words that don’t think about the consequences?
How many people lose and lose money because of unclear investments and don’t think about it first, “does this make sense or not?”
How many lives have been lost just because of trivial things and ended up in prison, the perpetrators really regret it, those are just a few cases and there are many more cases.
When we act but forget to bring our brains, most of the life problems that occur in our lives are because we don’t think first before acting.
If we want to say something, think first whether the words we are going to say are useful or not, offensive to other people or not.
Don’t let our words be controlled by emotions, if we want to make something, think first about whether it is useful or not, whether it will entertain people or not.
Or at least if it makes something unnecessary. So it’s strange, especially thinking “the important thing is to go viral first”, the matter was later criticized.”
Sometimes just making something useful many people don’t like it, let alone making something that is not useful at all, just see what the consequences are.
Likewise from a financial perspective, when we spend something, do we first think we still have debt?
Whether the goods we buy are useful or not is just a need or desire, so that the money we spend is truly useful and we don’t regret it later.
And there are many other life problems when we prioritize actions over thoughts, so think first before acting so you don’t face problems later.
2. Think without acting
In this case there are also many life problems that occur, regret can also occur when we only think and analyze without taking action.
How often in life are we busy creating bad scenarios in our own minds. What would it look like if you failed?
What happens if this? What happens if that? What happens next, although, if, but?
We are busy creating problems even though the problems don’t actually exist, we are too afraid to execute something because we are afraid of our thoughts.
How many ideas first come out of our heads, but because we don’t take action, we don’t execute them, in the end the idea is executed by someone else.
How many life problems occur because we don’t speak, because we feel bad for other people, we are afraid of hurting their feelings, we are afraid of offending their feelings, but this harms our own hearts.
Our mind should be the happiest place, not a place full of suffering. So, don’t let ourselves become slaves to our thoughts, don’t let us become prisoners of our thoughts.
99% of suffering is caused by thoughts created in our heads, while the remaining 1% is caused by what actually happens in the real world.
What usually becomes a big problem is not the problem itself, but rather the way we think and perceive the problem itself, which often means thinking more seriously than reality.
One of the keys to success is that we must dare to take risks, because when we take risks the chances of success and failure become 50:50.
It is true that there is no guarantee of victory, but if we don’t take risks then we will fail 100%, but there are many decisions we make in our life.
And taking this decision will make our future steps towards our life even further. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to decide something, try taking a risk.
Conclusions About Things That Cause Life Problems
The mind and heart are the five most pressing senses in life. Like reason, apart from its function as a differentiator, there are also many other functions found in our minds.
For example, filtering information, thinking about good and bad, right and wrong, what is dangerous and what is useful, and so on.
By using our thoughts in taking action, our actions will be much better. Because humans have advantages compared to other creatures, namely reason and thought.
So we use our reason and thoughts to make decisions about the actions we will take, because our thoughts and actions must be in harmony. Because the best people are people who are useful to other people and this world.
