What Makes People Tick?

Many people are very different from ourselves and coming to a place of acceptance can make the road easier.

All people have their own way of being in the world. It is easiest to comprehend this basic yet profound fact when we consider that every human being on the planet occupies a distinct role in the universe. We grow up in different environments, affected by a unique range of influences. The preferences, values, and beliefs we embrace are frequently related intimately to our origins. And the need to individualize our experiences is instinctive, as doing so enables us to cope when we must face challenges on our own. Consequently, each of us has developed a perspective that is uniquely ours. Interacting peacefully and constructively with people from all walks of life is a matter of first understanding where they are coming from. Then we can adjust our expectations so that we avoid making undue assumptions about what they are about.

In the face of emerging interpersonal conflict, it is easy to assume that others are being difficult, unreasonable, or stubborn. We are apt to grow frustrated when someone in our environment does not share our opinions or feel compelled to support us in our endeavors. It is likely that the individual or individuals before us may simply possess differing notions with regard to what is and what is not important in this life. We can ease the tension that exists between us by reaffirming our belief in the fundamental right of all beings to determine their own destinies. To foster a harmonious relationship, we need to do our best to relate to the unique universes they inhabit. And as we discover what makes them tick, our ability to find a mode of interaction that is pleasing to both of us is enhanced.

When there are barriers keeping you from connecting with someone else, think of questions you can ask them to gain a more thorough understanding of their point of view. You may discover that in addition to the differences in perspective dividing you, they are subject to insecurities and other personal issues that influence their way of seeing the world. It is likely that you will never fully grasp the myriad complexities embodied by humanity, but you can go a long way toward encouraging mutually satisfying relations by reaching out to others in the spirit of sympathetic comprehension. AMEN! ✨✨

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. All this weather is nerve wrecking it is going to hit
parts of Georgia too. Our kids are prepared as you never know what is going to
happen.

How is your mother and sister doing on their Cruise? I would eat and mingle on the Ship.

Lady how are you doing? Oz is cooler today but those triple digits will be back beginning
tomorrow.

Sending a cool hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎✨

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I would stay indoors today. Enjoy a good book and hit
the trails when it cools down. 😎✨

Looks like Florida is going to get hit and I am just hoping no major damages.

Taci it is all over the news on every channel on the Telly. Prayers are with the people
of Florida.

Wishing you and your family a cooler day. 🌹😘

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I am glad you got to see your husband.
I know he does not want to be away from you too long. I do hope you check into the hotel
for power and safety. I hate you being alone at a time like this. ✨🌹

Oodie you never know what a storm might do mother nature can be tricky.
Please check in when you can and let me know if you are at your home or in the Hotel.

Praying that you stay safe and no major property damage. I remember when you brought
those rugs you have placed in your living room. So much is going on in your area.

Oodie your State is all over all the major media. I hope this is not as bad as Ian.
