Reaction to Reality Should Be Realistic

Think about how people act to real situations!!

Check out these examples:

• The person wins a big promotion!! Then they think somehow they "lucked" into it and cannot hope to function in the new position.
• The person loses the job and believes everyone is against them and they were conspired against.
• The student reacts to being depressed and lonely by shooting 20+ students at Virginia Tech.

We are our reaction to reality. Our personality reflects how we react.

The Reality (or possible reality) in the above situations is this:

• The person earned the promotion and is expected to produce but because they think they don't deserve the new position, they fail.
• The person has a hard time finding a job because they feel everyone hates them. When they find a job, they alienate fellow workers with their negativity.
• The student made everyone afraid of him so he was isolated.

You become what you think you are. Seek and find yourself and be realistic. If you need help get it! If you have a plan, execute it.

Failure is practice for success. Always learn from failure and move on. Reality is what you make it. The mind cannot tell the difference between vividly imagined and real experience. Imagine your success in detail. See yourself succeeding rather than failing.

A fat girl sees herself as different. She is told she is different most of her life. If not told by others, she tells herself she is FAT. She tries diets then gives up. Why does she give up? She gives up because she is a failure. She failed to lose weight. Now, lets think about that. I would imagine our fat girl went into the diet suspecting failure. She was told she would always be fat no matter what. She was told she had the "fat gene". Its not her fault she is fat that's what she is--she thinks. And that is the issue. She thinks herself fat. Her reality is FAT GIRL. Some fat girls decide they are meant to be humiliated because they are fat. Some have a fetish for being humiliated. This becomes their reality. Other fat girls see themselves as thin girls and think themselves thin (along with considerable work with diet and exercise of course)
