The Perception of A Better Future

What is the Perception of a Better Future and the definition of it and how we can make our future brighter and more secure for human life and suggestions on how to change your world for good? Here is what we know about this issue and what we should do with some help from simple tips, examples, articles, sources and a list of different projects and organizations. We’ll also have an explanation of why this topic matters.

What Is The Perception Of A Better Future And Why Should It Matter To You?

In theory, the perception of a “better future” is a general term that refers to what we consider essential, desirable qualities of life, in particular the social/economic, moral, spiritual, emotional, or psychological qualities of people (or organizations). Usually, this term has evolved into a very complex idea that extends outside to include cultural, political, religious, personal characteristics, ethical, etc., which are often overlooked when discussing social issues but become vital aspects of thinking about the future. This perception has been shaped by the development of new technologies and the spread of ideas, which have led to further expansion of society. As such, there must be some rules to apply in order to be able to think properly about this issue. Therefore, they are crucial for understanding the history of society, developing a new vision and developing a new model of life for everyone, regardless of their background. Although this distinction may seem clear today to many people, the main distinctions were made centuries ago and therefore are still relevant today, which serves as the basis for our current view of life, including the “best future,” as well as the foundation on which further developments can be built.

The Importance Of Attending College For Personal Development

A college education offers numerous valuable benefits to its participants, both economically and psychologically. However, even so, a college education is not free, just like it is not free anywhere else in the world, except at a high-cost university. In most cases, it remains affordable only because of high tuition. These fees are quite difficult to afford especially when you study at a large public university. There are other factors such as cost of living, family responsibilities and whether or not one has the means to pay tuition and room rent alone. If one does not want to leave home and travel while studying, a degree can provide access to all kinds of courses and a number of courses. The price tag of attending school is as much as $4,000! But let us look at another model — college plus a summer job. Compared to getting a two-year degree, that costs between $8,000 and $15,000 per year. An academic summer job could cost from $15,000 to $50,000 per year. This is true whether the person gets the full amount of scholarships of up to 30% to 60% and if the job can take three years at least. Now, comparing these models requires one more analysis, but I believe the former model offers too much. With every degree getting increasingly competitive and expensive, many would consider moving towards becoming a student and receiving a two-year degree. While the latter is more financially reasonable but less desirable, for some it may be preferable in terms of mental health and self-development. Let me give a concrete example.

The Problem Of Homelessness

Today, there are approximately 18 million homeless people around the globe, representing 15.5% of each world’s population (the United Nations 2018). According to UNDP reports, the prevalence and impact of homelessness have increased over the past twenty-five years. When you add the number of people dying each year due to homelessness in developing nations, the global figure is staggering. Homelessness has the potential to negatively affect almost any economy. From tourism to agriculture, to mining and shipping, homeless people depend on the hospitality industry for survival and their families for food security and social protection. Without adequate shelter for people experiencing homelessness, this industry becomes useless and the global economy suffers greatly. In fact, studies show that the economic impacts of homelessness are significantly greater than those who find sustainable housing. From a social perspective, experiencing homelessness is harmful to the dignity of the nation. Because those in need of basic human basic care are usually low-income earners and unemployed youth, this leads to negative societal consequences. Furthermore, poverty levels increase in response to the growing number of homeless individuals.

Why Do People Feel They Are Racist Towards Each Other?

Racist behaviour is an extremely serious matter that must be addressed at the highest level possible (not least in governmental authorities) and no less on an international level. Unfortunately, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, class, nationality, and any other factor you will probably deem important and worthy of consideration is perceived as a factor that makes someone evil. In other words, people are generally prejudiced against minorities, immigrants, the LGBT+ community, LGBTQ+ individuals, indigenous representatives, and women. So, what is wrong with that? Well, let’s start with how race and ethnicity are defined. Racism, ethnic bigotry and sexism will always be present in every culture. Indeed, racism can be shown throughout history, but as racist as it was in the early times of slavery.

Racism, ethnic bigotry and sexism can be seen, in some countries at least, everywhere, in every epoch, in every era and form, in every time, in every region of the planet, and indeed, throughout all of history, albeit in varying degrees. This is evident not only in modern times in various societies across the globe in varying degrees but also today, as societies continue to grow and evolve. One’s own country can display prejudice too, and this is where multiculturalism comes into play. Prejudice can be displayed through language barriers as well as various forms of discrimination. On one end of things, there are certain cultures that have a deep-rooted sense of superiority, and others, such as religion. Religion plays a part. As religions vary from society, in each culture they vary. On top of that, the beliefs of religious communities could also be contributing to prejudice. Regardless of the case, people have feelings of superiority due to common tradition, language barriers, and general beliefs, which are inherited or learned in life. Thus, people develop a generalized feeling of being superior, which can serve them throughout their entire lives.

Racism, ethnic bigotry and sexism can be seen, in some countries at least, everywhere, in every epoch, in every era and form, in every region of the planet, and indeed, throughout all of history, albeit in varying degrees. In other words, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, class, nationality and any other factor you will probably deem worthy of consideration is perceived as being evil. Since some communities see themselves as inferior, they tend to hold stereotypes and prejudgments against certain groups of people. Discrimination takes place at work, school, in other areas of daily life, and even in the media.

This bias is particularly prevalent in minority communities, indigenous, LGBTQ+, and disabled groups. Perhaps, in comparison with larger groups in society, discrimination takes place more frequently within lower-income communities — specifically in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe — but still, we often overlook prejudice within these groups. Often, they face prejudices that are similar and even worse than racial prejudice. Whether this is related to geography or demographic differences, people tend to understand prejudice differently. Understanding a prejudice can sometimes be as simple as knowing some facts about the subject and identifying a common belief; however, sometimes prejudice needs to be based on an individual’s experience and knowledge. For example, if a person knows nothing about disability, it could happen they may not understand prejudice against disability. Maybe the reason people have a problem understanding prejudice against disability is because of that.

In Conclusion, Despite the complexity of perceptions regarding life, each person and community will share the same general perception of themselves and others, though it may be unique to them. We cannot ignore that the perception of a better future, a healthy, happy, prosperous life, lies within every human being. All we need are tools that will assist in creating that “better life”. We need to create an environment where all people understand that better life. By doing so, we collectively build a strong bond that will enable us to come together and work toward achieving the best future for all of humanity. This article is dedicated to helping to build the perception of a better future, and I hope you will allow me to offer the following resources for building your vision and creating a better one!

The Garden of Sight Where We Want to be Hidden

There is something in this world that has changed our way of living in the 21st century, and it's called 'The Garden of Sight' where we want to be hidden from others by using different kinds of techniques, some of which are old-fashioned as well as new. Our generation today is able to hide anything at their disposal, like money or time, in a manner that they believe is more secure than ever before. From buying drugs online, having someone else make the payment, and staying in an RV as opposed to living on a property you own in the city! I personally have spent countless hours of my life reading about this topic as I've never understood why people don't just keep their secrets inside the comfort of their homes. In other words, who doesn't want to spend less time trying to find love, and instead try to make the relationship last. However, we are now moving away from the idea that everyone needs to live according to certain standards to maintain their own happiness in this highly competitive world. As much as we may not think so, our actions are changing our society in many ways and with them is something very important to know.

The first element that I will be giving credit for being one of the reasons why many of us have started shifting towards creating the perfect partner is our education level. Many people have been teaching themselves to become more knowledgeable and aware of what's going on around them, making it easier to understand each other's behaviour and also learn to communicate with them better. Also, the number of resources available that we can use make understanding each other even easier. You can now know how to read someone else's emotions easily. Before this, maybe you were struggling and didn’t know how to properly communicate with an individual. I'm not alone in saying this, I was always struggling to understand people's emotions because most of the time I had to ask so many questions to get to know another individual. Now we are going beyond the understanding of emotions. This change was especially hard on me as someone that has never experienced a day job. Some people even get frustrated with me for putting myself through so much effort to start knowing more about this new thing. But I will say, I love learning about this trait. For a while, I wanted to become a flight attendant but after everything being said, you must have realized your passion was something others enjoyed as much as it is causing problems. So you decided to go deeper in this field by becoming a pilot. A profession that requires a lot of training and knowledge, which is rare to obtain. My point is, even though this new career may take some getting used to because your family doesn't support you, you still must follow a path that requires an immense amount of sacrifice and dedication. It's never easy to do something if you are just starting out. Although you might not have the means to afford these things, you will need to start looking into the possibilities within the industry. And here's where you get the best part; you are able to travel anywhere in the country with no financial barriers. With this, you can travel around the globe to explore destinations just as if you were travelling with the whole world on your side. Not only did you be able to experience different places, but you also began to meet different types of people, and it became a game-changer for every single one of them. People that were strangers became true friends who become family members. People that couldn't stand each other started to see eye to eye. No longer would there be a distance between us, our families, and our goals. Instead of feeling like strangers, we could start seeing each other all over again. I hope that this story made my new passion seem more realistic, but remember, it takes determination and action to succeed in anything. Because every little bit adds up as time goes on. And if you do this, no matter how scary a situation is, I guarantee the reward will multiply exponentially! That is when the real magic happens.

There is nothing quite like finding your match. It's so difficult when you are completely broke without anyone to talk with. Nothing brings us together as soon as you find someone who shares the same values with you as you do. You start to feel more connected to the rest of the world than ever before. When you have somebody you can relate to and trust, it feels like you have the power of taking control over your future. One major reason why most people start dating online is that social media apps allow you to connect directly with your significant other and also allow you to post about yourself and about yourself. With Facebook, there are numerous dating websites such as Bumble, Hinge, and Tinder. You can choose the ones that suit you best, according to your tastes, but these platforms also offer plenty of options. Whether it's dating, video chat, or virtual dates, you can find who you're looking for! Even in situations where you are separated from that person you are searching for, you can continue connecting with them online. Social networking sites have actually evolved to become a great tool in helping you find your ideal match. On Bumble, it offers a variety of people to choose from. If you aren't ready for that kind of convenience, then perhaps you should consider something like Viber. An instant messaging platform you could use for dating that can help you meet up with other people without the hassle of calling or texting anyone. Virtual date dates work just the same as dating through the internet. Just be careful with whom you choose to message and who you have your heart to meet. Because this feature gives you the ability to interact with numerous strangers through video calls even more than through emails. I personally have gone through it multiple times for dating! The quality is far above that of regular interaction with a loved one! While dating apps are not 100% reliable, they definitely give you more access to meet potential matches and a chance to speak with them if you do not have physical contact. With this, you never know what's going on around you and are often able to see who you are more often than before. The biggest advantage of having a crush on other people is being able to speak to that one for yourself. After speaking to your crush it's amazing, you can't help but wonder what happened to the beautiful person you were looking for or who your friend was before him/her. What do I mean? Maybe not, or maybe you had some sort of bad interaction with both of them. If there was anything I noticed in the latter half of 2020, it's that relationships that lasted longer than a couple of months are becoming extremely common across the nation. Why does it take such lengths to build up our feelings toward other people? Well, let me tell you some stories, all the while staying silent to the fact that we are constantly questioning what makes us attracted to certain people, or to certain qualities. Let's face it, sometimes our personality traits play a big factor in how we find others that we meet. Most of those who have personalities similar to mine do not have someone looking for the same type of connection as me. Sometimes you just end up meeting people that fit your personality to such a degree that it becomes almost too overwhelming for you to take on but not to the extent that it makes you question every decision you make. Another difference is that you may come across more emotionally compatible individuals than if you met me. These types of personalities are almost too strong for each other. You will encounter a person you have no chemistry with, whether in person or via video call. When it comes to this, it's even harder. You are able to create new bonds by talking to them in ways you never imagined just two months ago. I am sure that after spending thousands of dollars on dating websites, I still haven't met a person I admire as much as an attractive guy in person. My point is, that if you have a liking for someone you can't meet physically yet, you shouldn't let this hold you back from meeting them. Everyone is unique in a way, and it's impossible to understand your counterpart unless you meet him/her. There are plenty of successful singles just like me that didn't necessarily share my personality like I do, but did and have met someone similar to me that I'm incredibly proud of him/her. There is a reason people fall in love with other people, and it has nothing to do with the attraction they possess. Regardless of whether you fell in love with a person you cannot meet physically, you are more likely to fall in love with another person you believe shares your personality traits. Like I said earlier, the goal may be to find a certain type of romance but if you truly care about other people, you should do exactly that. Get to know that special someone like you and develop feelings as you go. They are worth it, and I promise you that you'll be glad that you made the effort to seek them out. Without further ado, let's begin.

The second piece of advice would be that of self-care. Self-care is the act of taking care away from ourselves in order to take care of others. Taking care of ourselves is essential for healthy relationships. Being responsible for ourselves is a way for us to protect ourselves from letting down our partners. Being responsible also keeps you safe from falling prey to unwanted romantic experiences. Here's my personal motto in regards to this subject. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself first! Take a break. Spend quality time with yourself. Do not ignore the beauty and healing properties of exercise! Exercise is not just about losing weight, nor is it about building muscle or keeping muscles fit. It's about being able to release toxins through sweat and digestive systems that you used to store.  

Attraction, Romance, and Love

Do you know about love? I think that it’s very important for a human being to love other people. In as much as we all have different types of Love, there are some which we find attractive, others not so attractive, but still others very beautiful. Love can be beautiful in many ways and it can become toxic when it doesn’t become an addiction like our habit of smoking or addiction.

As humans, we often feel insecure because we don't know ourselves and we don't know the next person who will enter this world with us. So, we try to make another person happy by giving them everything we’ve got. We even try to do that without worrying whether he/she’ll like it or not.

That is why attraction, romance and love should always stay intact.

Love does not exist on its own, rather it's something which exists between two people who are living life together. If there are any differences in personality in each partner then this Love cannot be called true love. But if both people are compatible with one another then we may call this love.

Some People Have More Than One Kind Of Love

To understand this better let me explain the difference between different kinds of love. The love we know as romantic Love is more romantic love than the love in which we can give the same level of affection to a friend rather than a loved one. These kinds of Love have different levels of intimacy and affection which people want, not just love.

Here is some example. You can learn about various kinds of true love, I am providing a simple explanation here.

There Are Different Levels Of Love In A Relationship

From my understanding, every relationship contains a different type of love. Here are some examples of the amount of love which each person has for their partner in relation to which category they belong to

They are in a loving relationship with each other and you are in a satisfying relationship with your partner. So, from this case, we can say that you have more intimate and emotional love for each other than in a satisfying relationship.

For Example: If you are in a deep-seated loving relationship with your partner then, you have almost at par love for him/her and you are satisfied with each other. As far as this category of love is concerned, you may call it this love.

Here is An Example From Which I Am Trying To Give Examples:

Your spouse who lives in your house does not support you financially. They give you less attention than you need which is love. Your mate who lives alone also does not give you money, love and attention. Hence, for that particular couple, it may not be really true love. They have love and affection only for getting away from each other while they themselves aren’t really ready to show it to each other. There are different kinds of love in them. That can be romantic love.

Romantic love is love, friendship and trust-based love which is a combination of those three types. This is what I mentioned above as romantic love.

Romance Love is the feeling of falling in love in this world with someone else and having that love for yourself. It consists of falling in love with someone you never met before in your lifetime. When you fall in love then you’d go through such stages:

You would get introduced to that someone.

You would see them in person and start seeing them.

You would meet your future partner and your love would change drastically.

Then the love and the dating would start.

They would start meeting others.

They would become friends again and start trying to get married to each other.

Then after some time, you would have to break up with the current partner. And there’re various reasons for breaking up. Because of whom, you are falling in love again, I would tell you.

Love and Friendship Are Very Similar Thing

Love is something which you can’t avoid falling in love with, whether for a long time or for a few years, or it may die down from heartbreak, disappointment, etc. As long as you do not follow love as a means of happiness, love can prove to be beautiful in the sense of great love but as a source of sorrow can be truly ugly. Hence, the best way to take from this bad thing is either to stop doing it completely or look for other alternative methods to solve this problem.

Let me give you an example. Two girls were going through a breakup for several years and that was the reason behind the breakup. One girl tried to solve the problem by moving to a new city where she could enjoy her newfound romance. The other girl decided to continue with the breakup and did nothing except stay in the place where she used to meet her ex-lover and started looking for another man.

Love in this scenario cannot work so well and I wouldn’t recommend it either.

On the Other Hand, Friendship Can Be Very Beautiful

Friends are amazing creatures in terms of finding the perfect match and bringing together a whole family for a common purpose. Friends can help the person involved in the relationship to develop personal qualities within their relationship. Friends also help in strengthening bonds as it helps increase mutual understanding for the sake of the two parties. Hence, if we talk about friendships as relationships, then friendship can help in making that bond stronger and not only stronger.

This makes you a friend or a brother to anyone. Let me give you a couple of examples.

Determine the main focus of love

In every relationship, there must be one focal point. You can choose between romantic love and friendship. Romantic love is more like love which gives you complete control over your life while friendship to share the burden of being responsible for each other. For such cases, friends may be the most appropriate option. With friends that will be able to share common goals and dreams. But as long as you don’t compromise with personal desires, then it’s time to move from romance love to friendship love.

In addition to romantic love, if you have to talk about real love then you can say that there are various forms of love available. You can even find out what love is in real life. Love can be full of heartbreak, passion, intimacy, honesty, gratitude, kindness, and many more. Whatever the form of love you feel in love you can feel it in all forms. Hence it’s important to know your emotions so that we can never lose that.

Love Is Not Just About Love But Also About Physical Appearance

When we come across our true love for someone we cannot feel love in any way apart from love itself. Our physical looks aren’t so important when we get the love for our partner, but rather love for them is. When we fall in love with another partner, we automatically assume that they are good-looking and sexy. If we have to know how attractive, handsome or beautiful he/she is physically then that is enough. However, we cannot know his/her character, his or her traits and even how reliable he or she is physical.

All beauty and good qualities cannot give us ultimate love. We can choose who and how we love. Sometimes we may be too attached to what the person is not just for love. Some other times we just want the love we feel for another. So no one is ever worth more than the other.

There Are Certain Things On Which We May Or May Not Belong

When we talk about love, we consider it an essential part of our relationships, but it shouldn’t ever be taken as completely true. Love doesn’t mean that you are in love with him/her every minute of every day. It can go beyond that aspect too.

Some parts are not essential to every person. We might not always be in a position to open the door of his/her heart to all of you, only some people would like to do so as well. And what’s important when dating another partner is the trustworthiness of the other person.

Love Should Always Remain Intimate Love

Love can be not just about falling in love with another person. Love takes care of being present even when one person isn’t around. So, the intimacy of love must always remain at the forefront. Love cannot turn into an obsession. Nowadays you can find online applications and apps as they allow you to connect with other people and know their thoughts and feelings.

But what can you learn from all the internet games, books, movies, and television shows? How to be around one another by sharing common interests, and understanding one another’s life. Most people today have changed their perspective on love to obsession and obsession. So it’s time for us to understand what love is and get rid of those who use dating as a ploy to make them fall in love with them.

Love is not always about having to spend a lot of time with our partner. At the end of the day, we come back home and start with our families. Therefore, it’s important to understand your loved ones and cherish them the way they deserve.

There are a certain number of things which are considered to be natural and healthy love. However, I’ve said many things on which the mind may tend to disagree or contradict as time passes by. Every day we learn certain lessons, I would advise.

The first lesson is that love isn’t just about romantic love, it is also real love, there are various varieties of love available in the world and love can sometimes be seen as a source of unhappiness and anguish in life.

The second lesson will teach us the third lesson which we might face now,  

Never Stop Learning

Never Stop Learning and its definition and how its work is of importance in today’s society

Never stop learning and learning is always a game-changer. So, why is it so critical to learning when it comes to the development of our mind and intelligence? As we grow as individuals, we continue to learn through things that are done by others around us. We also begin to understand life from a different perspective and sometimes even more than what we knew before. It allows you to do things you never thought were possible and help you become wiser and smarter than that which brought you here. In fact, one could even say at times, there is something quite special to being able to experience learning and growing yourself. That is why people start searching for ways to stay “Never-Stop Learning”.

Never stop learning gives you opportunities to interact with others which helps create valuable relationships between them. Because you are constantly going out into the world and interacting with those around you, you get to gain new skills and experience. This is also advantageous because you can be exposed to other experiences. Being involved in an exciting and interesting activity like reading makes you feel challenged and excited. You may find yourself talking about another culture’s way of life, learning new languages and listening to fascinating stories. Although this is a great exercise for becoming knowledgeable and a good listener, sometimes people need something a little more challenging to realize the potential benefits they have gained after taking courses that teach new knowledge to them. And never stop learning is the answer. Here are a few examples of learning opportunities people get from going always learning:

1. Improve Your Productivity

Being a productive person is not just having enough time to accomplish goals and objectives but it should be getting them done quickly and accurately to ensure maximum impact. Never stop learning helps you achieve better productivity and focus and increase in ability to complete tasks efficiently and safely. People who take part in programs that teach new information to them often go far beyond their expectations. They find themselves much more flexible and creative in every way than they usually give. The best part is that the students often do not know what to expect next. These days you do not even have to learn everything you want to know about whatever is presented to you. You can do some classes to improve your skill while staying away from the subject at hand. A study conducted by ProConnexion shows that nearly half of participants that took courses started making improvements in their skills within six months. And these results last well past the actual course duration. Not only does this allow you to make improvements but there are even chances to find new business opportunities. According to experts, there is a great chance of finding lucrative careers for adults who had taken a class that taught them about job-related subjects.

2. Be An Effective Leader/Career Coach

Some leaders are known to inspire their employees and encourage them to develop as team players. People are encouraged to try out new things that enable the growth of their employees while gaining practical knowledge about various skills necessary for success. No wonder a significant amount of employees leave jobs that require multiple skills they are unable to develop in order to pursue their dreams, and careers. To develop these skills, many leaders use training programs in collaboration with professionals. But if you decide not to go through such programs, developing them on your own becomes extremely difficult. It takes years to develop all there is to know and can become quite expensive before you ever know. Don’t worry though. There are things you can learn on your own and be trained to become effective at all types of leadership. Some of these skills are leadership development, conflict resolution, problem-solving, crisis management and communication skills. For example, you might need to have expertise in a certain field to be a leader. Developing your own professional coaching service can be very helpful because it will give you insight into the industry of your choice. Not only can you put yourself forward but you can bring together experienced personnel, who can provide guidance in the areas of your interest. And never stop learning allows you to become an agent of change.

3. Take Advantage Of Opportunities To Grow In Knowledge

There are plenty of different places where people learn new things whether it be from books, movies or online and most of the time they are not aware of it. While this can happen in almost any profession, never stop learning and taking advantage of opportunities to learn new things allows you to expand on your interests and enrich your personal knowledge. Since the internet is increasingly becoming a major source of information, never stopping learning can show you an enormous amount of possibilities in terms of career options. If you choose not to go through formal educational programs, you can explore other ways you can get access to knowledge. By taking up online resources and learning through YouTube, you can easily explore a wide variety of topics from popular entertainment to more serious and sensitive topics like engineering, health or history. Also, do not forget about free lectures and workshops. Online seminars and lessons are always fantastic because you can enjoy watching videos on a topic without actually being present in any classroom.

4. Discover New Things

One of the biggest obstacles to personal improvement in any of us is the lack of time when it comes to learning. Many people make the mistake of not exploring new things. Instead of trying to learn everything, there is to know about something, they instead go straight to the things they already know. While we all have the desire of knowing more, there is an opportunity to learn even more while doing some simple and fun activities. It is important to remember that there are some elements of lifelong learning that you can practice daily. One thing that you can learn regularly is gardening. Gardening is probably the most rewarding skill a person can improve on. From a young age, you will be practising and making your garden bigger each day. By making the garden bigger over a period of time and by adding seeds of all kinds, you can learn diverse techniques of vegetable gardening and thus make sure you are growing the plants you enjoy while still maintaining the beauty and originality of nature. While gardening is perfect for anyone and everyone, keep in mind that gardening offers flexibility and versatility to the user, unlike any formal education. Never stopping learning is the key to personal growth but it is also essential to know what gardening really is.

5. Find Your Own Path

Sometimes you may have the urge to follow someone else’s path. Rather than following in line with what others are following, be open-minded and question everything they do. Doing this will lead you to discover paths you may never have had or never been down. When seeking answers, it is important, to be honest, and ask the person you want to meet for clarification rather than simply following their advice. It is okay to follow your curiosity, but always remember that it will always bring you where you are going. Never stop learning makes you explore new things, find your own path, and discover things you never would have noticed otherwise.

Conclusion

What do you think makes everybody strive for learning? Do you think learning is beneficial to our mental health? What about understanding how learning works? Are you ready to get started today? Or is it just wishful thinking? No, there’s no denying the power and value of learning and never stop learning is huge now, as I can personally testify. Never stop learning allows you to experience all the things life has to offer with ease, convenience and convenience. Use this method if you have ever wanted to become a better version of yourself and always be prepared for the inevitable changes that come along with your life.  

Good for Nothing

What is good for nothing? Some, like philosophers (and even Aristotle) believe that we are all born with a purposeful mind which directs our actions towards some greater goal. Others believe in a God who guides our lives through the guidance of something higher than us, but either way what we do with our actions is ultimately up to us. Whatever these beliefs may be they will always serve as guidelines on how we should act, not only to get results but also to improve our lives and the lives of other people around us.

So why do we still have so many bad habits as well as becoming addicted to them? Well, there are different reasons for not being able to stop smoking or drinking alcohol; we need to understand them before we can learn how to overcome them. In fact, we are going to give you an example to help you get started down the road of avoiding anything bad. Let’s start by looking at what we consider normal behaviour. And then I will share my view on the root cause or problem of it. So let’s go ahead…

Normal Behaviour

The human brain consists of three parts, neurons (nodes), synapses (connecting devices such as neurotransmitters), and dendritic networks (networks of connections between neurons). The neurons make impulses. These impulses pass along to synapses which produce electrical messages (signals) as the neuron activates itself. If it activates too much this would lead to an attempt at stopping the activity. But if it doesn’t work out, the signal stops the neuron from activating itself. Activation of neurons leads to activation of synapses and back to neurons which again triggers neurons in response. This time the signals stop and the brain continues to produce impulses until someone thinks it has activated itself enough to not react. Thus the activation process stops. Of course, there are things that we don’t control (the weather, food habits, etc.). However, in most cases, we can control the number of things we believe is within our control. If something is good for nothing then that’s not good. It should be considered a mistake on our part to continue to use things that we believe are beyond our control. We should realize that when we think we know what is available within our own control, we actually already know very little. Our knowledge depends on where we think things are within our control.

Let’s look at how we think about our thoughts, their consequences, and what makes us think those things are in our control and those choices are ones we can make. You can use your favourite analogy to explain this concept. Let’s say you are driving. Your brain processes information and starts thinking things are within our control. When you think you are driving slow enough to increase the chances your car will crash and kill you. Similarly, if you think things are within your control, that doesn’t mean you can make decisions that might lead to negative situations. Don’t think everything is controlled in your life, as it usually is not. And remember, when learning any new skill we need to do so without making the worst possible decision. Just as car crashes happen frequently when we make poor decisions. Too often we try to force things into our hands with no intent of using them properly and we end up hurting ourselves and the people around us.

Why am I saying “good for nothing?” Because in real life is very unpredictable, which means sometimes bad decisions must come based on chance and circumstances. Sometimes it’s just pure luck. At times when circumstances dictate nothing one is forced to take actions against his/her wishes just because he or wants to. There isn’t an absolute set standard for making choices. Every person makes every decision based on circumstances surrounding him/her, and I know they usually end up being right. But there are times when everything has to become entirely out of reach. People may often say those bad situations will affect everything we do, but in reality, we don’t make it easy for ourselves. Take a close look at it, is there really a difference between doing what we wish to do and making something we don’t want to do? Is the choice easy when we choose to do something bad for nothing? Yes and no! No one gives us a clear answer on when exactly to do this or when we should do it, but we can say that most people make them just like we do. Bad habits are easily learned, and as long as there are positive aspects of living we can always change them. And for our sake as individuals and as a society we should make sure we are actively working to develop these and not letting these “bad habits” define us. If everyone were constantly doing things they didn’t want to do you couldn’t possibly imagine yourself in another world. By doing these things we build up our image in others, and we give more ammunition to those who want and control our lives to ensure that we remain the best version of ourselves.

The Problem

We have the above discussion about why good or bad behaviours aren’t just the mere consequence of human nature; it’s instead something else that we should strive for, something that goes far beyond our innate capabilities. Here I will tell you about a situation I encountered during my lifetime. One day a friend told me about a girl whose family owned a farm and had their home. She was pregnant with her first child and she would soon be having twins. Her father said they planned to sell all four children to whoever wanted to buy them. His plan had worked out pretty well, however, she gave birth to a boy but left the baby with a leg. My friend went over the story from beginning to conclusion and found out that the family didn’t exactly know which son to keep. Apparently, they decided to mix them up and leave both boys to each parent. Again, this sounds fair but let’s dig a little deeper, is this type of scenario common with anyone? Not everyone? How does knowing this affect our everyday life if we believe we have nothing to do with that? By giving away what we choose to do that we don't have full control of and giving away other's children we gain prestige in others and also power. Are all kids this way? Can everyone be guilty? This can be true, however, I would want to emphasize that it doesn’t matter. All children can be given away but not all of them. Does a child always get what he/she wants? That depends on the personality of the individual and is definitely dependent on whether your life is in some sort of contract or not. It’s important for us adults to remember that children are not all alike, just as humans are not all alike. Children learn how to grow up in many ways, at different rates, differently than adolescents. Adolescents, in particular, grow up quickly and often don't make decisions that allow for growth. They don't make big decisions like this one, but in general, children learn better, they move faster, and sometimes they act impulsively and impetuous. Many parents would probably argue that children always act this way out of impulsivity, and while I won't deny that impulsivity is a key aspect of childhood, it's not the only thing that affects our development of skills. Another explanation that fits into my discussion will be the idea that sometimes we don't decide to do things in advance, because in moments, we become lost in the moment. Often parents don't fully understand this concept, so it's hard to predict. While some of the ways it applies to children most of the time, for teenagers, it may vary. Regardless of its main application, the point stands that the whole of our lives consists of a series of experiences, experiences we cannot fully comprehend, and decisions we cannot fully make. Each of us grows up in unique ways, we learn new skills, develop relationships, and we make new life decisions. Whether we are conscious of that or not is another question altogether. As I mentioned earlier, we have the ability to learn and develop skills in many ways, even though these skills are mostly outside of our control. A simple analogy that makes sense in hindsight of what can be done today is comparing it to having our parents teach us something new that we never knew before. Parents don’t decide when we begin to learn something new, they just show us that there is a certain level of understanding that we must take care of in order to experience it. Although we are aware that this idea may sound simplistic it holds true in many instances.

We need to learn the lessons the world teaches us, not the lessons we learn. By learning the lessons we need to continually teach ourselves, and the lessons we can create, we can live our lives as we want them and leave behind the lessons we learn. We need to learn the lessons of perseverance, patience, empathy, and forgiveness. Those of us who hold steadfast to a religious background (or perhaps who feel compelled to believe we have some kind of god-given grace) need to follow a similar rule. To do otherwise we have trouble focusing our minds and concentrating our energies. All these lessons are lessons we learn throughout life, and they shape our character by teaching us who we are, what we need to be, and how we deal with life experiences. Lessons on humility, forgiveness, compassion and tolerance come later during life. If we learn and apply the lessons we can make the mistakes we make the lesson we become wiser, and we can learn from our mistakes. Unfortunately, these lessons often come after we have made mistakes, but even so, we need to keep pushing forward as we learn to make more so. Through the lens of our actions, we must always put our interests ahead of our desires. Things like saving money.  

Environmental Quality

The Environment plays an important role in our lives and has a major impact on life on earth. With over 80% of our planet covered by water, forests and tropical areas, we are bound to find ways to protect them from harmful environmental effects. Our surroundings are extremely delicate but also offer immense opportunities and threats to our health and ecosystems. We have the chance to learn about nature and how it impacts us all. As human beings, we can take care of our environment in numerous ways; one such example could be the use of organic products. If used right, they can be very beneficial to both our health and our environment. Here’s a rundown of some of the most beneficial options that we as individuals can use to help our environment.

Use Organic Food

One of the biggest advantages of utilizing organic food is that they are much more environmentally friendly than its conventional counterparts. They provide many different environmental benefits due to the fact that they consist of less carbon and therefore can cause far fewer greenhouse gases. Additionally, organic foods are healthy. Many people do not realize this but eating organic leafy vegetables could contribute greatly to our overall health. This includes heart disease and diabetes. One particular area where these foods can have a serious impact on overall health is our brain, specifically Alzheimer’s. In fact, studies show that consuming organically sourced vegetables can increase the chances of getting the disorder. While it does not directly mean that consumption of organic greens is helpful for brain health, it’s definitely a good idea to consume at least some organic greens a day. Keep in mind that if you do choose to consume only organic greens, you should always check with your local government about whether or not pesticides are utilized on them. This information will assist you in making informed decisions when purchasing organic greens so that you get yourself the best possible nutrition.

Use Eco-Friendly Plastic Recyclable Containers

Eco-plastic reusable containers are great alternatives to plastic bottles because of the way they act both environmentally and economically. When compared to plastic bottles, eco bottles are approximately 18 times cheaper and they actually last twice longer as single-use plastic bottles. These recyclable single-use plastic bottles contain several dangerous substances, are highly flammable and pose certain risks, like carcinogenic toxins. Because of this, using recycled plastic bottles is recommended, however, it is wiser to purchase a reusable plastic container for personal use as well. Reusing bottles means you have plenty of fresh, unopened bottles each week of the year to create additional income.

Use Natural Personal Care Products

As mentioned above, there are numerous benefits of using natural personal care products. Most of these types of products can reduce the risk of contaminating pollute and conserve water supplies, soil and air. For instance, coconut oil has been shown to decrease the risk of lung cancer and it is now the go-to product for those who intend to drink it. Of course, this doesn’t mean drinking it all on a daily basis and as suggested below, never apply it to any other type of product you may use. But rather apply just on specific instances of use and pay attention to the health implications. You can’t utilize coconut oil when working out – unless it’s blended with honey – and it’s never advisable to drink the mixture when working out since it contains vitamin E acetate, which has been shown to interfere with thyroid function when taken in significant amounts. Another alternative is olive oil. Not only is it considered safe by federal authorities and can reduce your risk, but, it has been found to be the safest personal care product available at present. All said and done, the truth is that neither option is perfect in regard to the environment, especially when considering climate change. The main point is to try and use whatever’s available to you with the intent to make the best choice for you. Also, as previously mentioned, only drinking organic greens might seem like the only alternative you can find, but this isn’t always true. There are a variety of organic greens that can increase the quality of your diet even further. A list of the top five organic greens includes broccoli, parsley, jenny and mustard leaves.

Get Rid of Your Pesticide Residue

Although we cannot control certain environmental conditions, we can do things to prevent them. To begin with, we can recycle plastics! Just like we saw throughout the introduction, we can utilize recyclable plastic bottles to make ends meet and reduce our overall impact of plastic garbage. Secondly, we can get rid of pesticide residue from household cleaning products, particularly insecticides. Unfortunately, the best part of this sort of cleanup is that once we start this sort of clean-up, we are able to save money in the long run. Finally, we can buy low-impact laundry detergent on the market, like Tofino Laundry Detergent. Although it does have a tendency to cause some discomfort to the skin and ears after application, no long-term health concerns should be put on hold as long as this product is around.

Get Yourself Covered

One of the best methods to combat damage caused by pollution is simply by staying home as much as we can! By covering our home with graffiti art, we are actively keeping pollution away from our home! Next, when cooking and preparing meals, we can ensure that there are proper disposal methods. Lastly, we have the ability to stay hydrated throughout the duration of the meal through fruit juices. Water is a huge resource and it’s something we can use in abundance to aid our metabolism and keep ourselves hydrated all through the day and night!

For More Information & Resources

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a full website dedicated to monitoring and protecting our oceans! Visit here for a detailed overview of what is happening within the ocean and what we need to do to protect it. As it turns out, even we as individual humans can play an incredibly positive role in protecting the world we live in by participating in activities like the following.

Go Nature Walking

Go outside and walk around. It’s easy to fall into unhealthy habits like being sedentary, which can lead to downwind bacteria that can affect many systems in our bodies. Going outdoors, on the flip side of this, can also enhance your sense of adventure and take your mind off of potential threats like traffic. Even the simplest walking exercise can have profound benefits in the prevention of our environment. Like the old adage goes “we go around the world not while we sleep but while we look.” If we want to protect our environment by simply going out more, walkers and joggers can help us become better stewards of nature.

Get involved in recycling programs

One of the biggest benefits of recycling is that it helps to reduce our overall impact on resources and helps to save money. By taking advantage of these two, we can help our planet to survive. However, we must understand that there is a downside to recycling, too. Many landfill sites were built without consideration of the effect of incineration, pollution and depletion of oxygen. We have the opportunity to make a difference here by using our recycling efforts to preserve our planet and lessen our impact. Whether you are a believer in biodegradable plastics or are interested in joining a program focused on restoring trees across landfills, we can help others in minimizing our impact by helping reduce our footprint.

Support organic farming

The USDA estimates that roughly 20 per cent of farmland globally consists of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, mainly nitrates. The World Wildlife Fund reports that these chemical pollutants kill nearly 100 million birds annually. Through farming, farmers can produce less toxic plants and animals, which results in reduced consumption of synthetic N, and therefore reduces environmental burdens like those associated with fertilizer overuse! Agriculture is a proven method of mitigating our impact. Farming techniques allow us to enjoy a healthier plant life, and we even gain economic benefits; we increase yields, reduce costs and even eliminate hunger.

Get Involved in Greenpeace

One of the biggest ways Greenpeace can help our environment is by supporting boycotts of companies, businesses and other entities that support fossil fuel technology. These same companies can do their part to stop nuclear power production and can promote renewable energy technologies like solar and wind. Greenpeace does more than simply raise awareness of the dangers we face as members of the community, it has also gotten itself involved throughout North America. Since 1995, the organization has helped to organize a range of protests against companies like McDonald's and Walmart for removing animal testing procedures. Nowadays, Greenpeace takes action in the form of issuing cease-and-desist letters and public boycotts in order to fight back against the industry that threatens to harm our planet. As seen today, Greenpeace is still having an impact – albeit a limited one – thanks to organizations like Green House Society, GSDN and Greenpeace USA, among others. So what’s next? After researching this topic thoroughly, I would propose a model to address this issue. As a result of my research, I would recommend reducing deforestation by planting trees in undeveloped areas. Over a period of at least 10 years, trees planted over a large portion of existing forests in Africa and South America should be able to absorb 90–95 per cent of atmospheric CO2. That is significant, considering that most deforestation in South and Central America involves soybeans and soybean plantations.

These steps are merely a bare minimum, but I hope they can give you the inspiration to build your own eco-friendly home on your own.
