How Thinking With Consequential Logic Creates A Better Life

Written by Brian Maloney


Foresight is a tool we should all have in our war chests. However, many of us disregard this critical thought process. If I drink this much and drive my car, I just might crash, killing myself or someone else. If I talk about my boss behind his back torepparttar wrong person, I could get fired for some trivial reason.

Almost everyone knowsrepparttar 129251 difference between right and wrong, but do we all apply thinking with consequential logic before committing our wrongs? Probably not. The reasons are plenty, but simply put, many of us are too lazy or careless.

If it is lazy, that can be more easily fixed than that of careless. Lazy is just that, lazy. Working a little extra hard by churningrepparttar 129252 brain with logic before minor or major decisions creates a more seamless living environment for not only yourself, but everyone around you.

Careless is more difficult to fix becauserepparttar 129253 person is caring less about something that requires someone to yield more care. This is a fundamental disregard forrepparttar 129254 situation or an inadequate comprehension ofrepparttar 129255 dynamics of that particular situation or decision.

Usually people other than yourself are involved, assuming you have careless tendencies. Let me clarify with an example: You are on a roof reshingling with a working partner, but you are a level below him/her and this person would like to get down to your level. They ask if you could setrepparttar 129256 step ladder up so they can get down, so you do. By not holdingrepparttar 129257 ladder tightly asrepparttar 129258 person descends, they fall and die.

This is a blatant example of disregarding someone else’s safety by not caring enough. It could also be construed as lazy; however, in this situation it is more likely that carelessness trumps laziness big time.

In this hypothetical example, if this person thinks with consequential logic, they would know that leavingrepparttar 129259 ladder unsecured while this person is stepping down could have deadly consequences.

Ridding Yourself of Being A Manipulator to Better Your Relationships

Written by Brian Maloney


One ofrepparttar oldest character flaws in humans is their ability to manipulate each other. Its insidious nature tilts our everyday playing field towardrepparttar 129249 manipulator. The manipulating person has a basic personality flaw that has a direct link to control, but primarilyrepparttar 129250 ever-abundant insecurity issue.

So, how is it that we deal with these types of people to levelrepparttar 129251 perverbial playing field?

Well, for a moment, lets just considerrepparttar 129252 problematic issues that these types of people have so as to better understand what approach to take.

In being manipulative, one would only need to look atrepparttar 129253 why and what, notrepparttar 129254 how, becauserepparttar 129255 how is obvious. How do they do it? They use words as their arsenal for control.

One should understand that manipulative people are generally control freaks who need to haverepparttar 129256 people they attempt to control conform to their ideology. By leveraging control over a particular situation, they satisfyrepparttar 129257 craving to fill that void of not having personal control, therefore obtaining it from another person.

It is quite obvious that always trying to tiltrepparttar 129258 scales for yourself by being manipulative reflects a security problem in yourself. It’s simple! If you do not feel secure with yourself, than you are insecure. Ah...but to what degree you may ask, do you have to be so insecure that you always attempt to obtain control and security elsewhere?

Insecurities are in us all. We all feel vulnerable at times in any given situation, but what would propel us to be so insecure that we need to control others in our environment?

This question could be answered differently for almost every manipulative person because what drives us to manipulate might be extremely deep-seated in one, where in another it is seated quite shallow.

Most people have heard in one place or another; you can only control certain things in life, and much ofrepparttar 129259 other stuff you need to just letrepparttar 129260 chips fall where they may.

This is very true. Let’s just look at one simple example to conceptualize. You have five one hundred dollar bills you have alloted yourself to use in attempts to make more money, so you head forrepparttar 129261 closest casino.
