If it were possible in a moment to change and become another person - smart, talented, beautiful, rich, then everyone would do it. The only question is - for what?
Man forgets that no matter what he is - he is the greatest secret of the Universe, he is interesting at every stage of his development, in all his manifestations.
It does not matter if you are poor or rich, all people are equal in that each of them is special, interesting and mysterious ...
Successful, poor, beautiful, strange - these are just evaluations of people around. In fact, you may think that you know yourself and others know you, but this is not so - for many years you have been living with a stranger who is both unpleasant and interesting at the same time.
10. You are not as beautiful as you think
What would you rate your appearance? Even if you give a low rating, you may be lying to yourself.
People are accustomed to overestimate their attractiveness - a woman can use new cosmetics, and it will seem to her that she has noticeably changed, but only those around her are unlikely to notice it.
In one experiment, a group of people was photographed, and the photos were changed to “normal,” “beautiful,” and “ugly.” A person had to choose the photo that was not changed.
Almost every time, people chose the "beautiful" as an unchanged version of themselves. But when it was required to choose photographs of other volunteers of the experiment, whom they saw for a very short time, then almost all chose the “normal” one.
That is, we evaluate ourselves at 7 or 8 points, and those around us are no more than 5 ...
9. You Are Not So Better Than Others
We are all used to believing that it is better than others - one thinks that he is more beautiful than his colleagues, the other thinks that he understands psychology better, and the third thinks he is an expert on art.
In fact, people are much worse than they think about themselves. Scientists believe that if we were not mistaken in our superiority, then our ego would have crashed with negative consequences for mental health.
People who do not consider themselves better than others, as a rule, have depression - on the contrary, they underestimate their self-esteem and consider themselves worse than others. That is, self-seduction is vital for us to feel good.
8. You will never find happiness
You do not like the events that are happening now, but you close your eyes in the hope that someday this will change and you will be happy? This will never happen.
Do you have depression? Most likely, in the future you will be as “happy” as you are now, even if you have something you want and your dreams come true.
Each of us has a level of happiness to which we always return, no matter what we do and what happens to us. We think that, fulfilling her dream, she will bring us happiness and help solve all problems, but this is not so.
All problems will remain with us, because we do not change. You can either start to enjoy now, or continue to live in depression.
7. You are made for poverty.
People are used to thinking that poverty is certain features of some people, there are even special trainings “How to gain the thinking of a rich person”.
But we deceive ourselves when we think that we are different from people with poor thinking.
For example, if you have skills in any field, you are a specialist, and you have a higher education, most likely you will not feel financial difficulties as much as someone who does not know how, and no matter what his thinking .
The sad fact is that most people will experience poverty in old age - old age guarantees unemployment, saving on everything.
6. Your memories are a hoax
Not all people are able to experience this, but those who experience are rethinking life. Suddenly, you may find that all existing memories are deceptive, that is, they are different from what was real.
Our memory is very unreliable, you remember the way you want to remember, and throw out unnecessary facts. We cannot remember everything in its pure form, and we always embellish what once was - either we reduce the significance or make positive adjustments.
A person is used to evaluating what is happening, but nobody can perceive it as it is.
5. You came from the universe
Each part of us is from there, and all this thanks to the atoms. There are atoms in everything - in you, your phone, they surround us and have been here for a very long time.
It is believed that every atom in you was created billions of years ago - in the heart of a star. This suggests that each of your individual fragments traveled for about 13 billion years, circulating everywhere - in space and even helped create our Earth.
Your atoms were even once part of geniuses - Newton, Shakespeare, Columbus, etc. Each of us has our own story, about which we know nothing.
4. You will not be successful due to education
Many people are used to thinking that in order to succeed, they need to graduate from a prestigious university, get a good job, and then life will get better.
This is not enough to become a successful and successful person. Many, having received a good education, continue to work for the state, receiving a small salary.
The reason is that people do not want to take independent steps and take initiative, they hope that the employer will notice their successes and help to rise one step higher. This is the place to be, but it does not always work.
3. You may never fall in love
If a person is asked: “What is love?” then he will immediately describe his condition as a desire to be always with his partner, to see him and touch.
But after some time, people in love are saturated with each other's company, and they get bored, fall in love with new ones, and this cycle never ends.
Love is not possessing a partner, not selfish desires to get close to him and “squeeze” his care and attention.
Sometimes a person can meet true love, but this happens with wisdom and not with everyone. To love and accept another person means to love and accept yourself as you are.
Do not be sad if you do not have a relationship - many people who are in them only think that they have met their love, in fact this is self-deception.
2. You will not become healthier if you sleep longer
It is generally accepted that the longer a person sleeps, the healthier he is, but this is a fallacy. And a person, trying to look healthier, can oversleep before dinner.
But this negatively affects us - the longer we devote time to rest, the more we negatively affect ourselves, or rather, our body.
Remember how you felt when you went to bed early and got up late. Did you feel well? Most probably not.
And when you got up at dawn, you felt a surge of strength in yourself, a lot of energy. You need to trust your feelings - so you will not feel overwhelmed and devoid of energy.
1. You will not meet friends if you want to meet them
Almost every person wants to make friends - even if not a whole crowd, then at least one - a devoted and close friend.
People in search forget one thing - are you ready to become a friend to other people?
If you are looking for friends, most likely you will not have a single friend, but as soon as you want to become someone else without any goals, you will get something from others, then you will begin to find friends, wherever you are.
When people feel that they want to get something from them, they give the back - you can notice this also for yourself.
