I often sit in the dining hall and wonder who I am truly close to. With so many people around, it's easy to feel like nobody really knows you. There's always that sense of loneliness. That desire for someone to understand us, the hunger for love, and the constant fight for happiness.It's a feeling we all share, no matter how many friends we have. We all long for a true connection with someone. Don't forget, you're not alone in feeling alone. Keep searching for those who truly understand you, and don't be afraid to open up and let them in

The Loneliness of Being Surrounded

The irony of seeking peace but arguing over loneliness...

In today's world, people are willing to spend large sums of money to find peace, but they easily get irritated and often lash out at anyone who annoys them or doesn't conform to their way of living.

Desperately Seeking Peace

It's necessary to understand that people have different tastes and opinions.
Each person is one-of-a-kind, and their views should not be dismissed.
Our distinctiveness adds variety and fosters fresh thinking. 💡

The Importance of Embracing Differences in People

Have you ever wondered why we sometimes choose the opposite of what we should?
Here's something to keep in mind:
<li>Our fear of change often clouds our judgement, making us choose the familiar over the unknown 🤔</li>
<li>Remember to pause and reflect before making a decision ❗</li>
Also, let's be mindful of our words, as they hold power and can bring immense harm or joy 💬

"Choosing the Right Path"

In the world of technology, People today stand so close yet too far ...

Understand yourself and those around you.

Too close yet too far 

How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness:only light can do that. Hate cannotdrive out hate: only love can do that.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

The love we give away is the love we keep.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt within the heart.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

Using too much logic can often create more conflicts instead of solving problems. It is important to approach issues with a clear and open mind, rather than relying solely on logic

Minimizing Conflicts

<ul><li>Logic is the rational reasoning behind decisions and actions. It helps us make sense of the world and make informed choices.</li><li>Conflict is the disagreement or opposition between individuals or groups. It can arise from differences in beliefs, values, or goals.</li></ul>

Understanding Logic and Conflict

By understanding the logic behind someone's actions, we can better comprehend their intentions and motivations. Conversely, understanding the root of conflict can help us navigate and resolve disputes in an effective manner.

How often do we rely on logic to guide our actions and decisions? While it is useful, it can also lead to conflict.<ul><li>Ignoring emotions and feelings of others</li><li>Underestimating the importance of relationships</li><li>Creating a divide between differing opinions</li><li>Not considering unforeseen events and variables</li></ul>

The Consequence of Logic: Conflict

People who are logical are trying to solve problems, not create more conflict. Remember to solve problems, not create them.

SOLVE IT, NOT CREATE IT

<ul><li>Practice active listening and empathy</li><li>Collaborate with others and gather different perspectives</li><li>Think outside the box and be open to new ideas</li></ul>

When faced with complex situations

Sometimes the best solutions come from thinking creatively rather than strictly using logical reasoning.

Logic and conflict are two fundamental concepts in understanding human behavior.

You Can Heal Your Life

Feminism is a complex topic that has different meanings to different people. It's important to understand and respect diverse views when having conversations about it.Here are some general points

Exploring the Many Dimensions of Feminism

1. Equality Advocacy2. Increased Awareness3. Legal and Policy Changes4. Empowerment5. Intersectionality

Positive Aspects

1. Equality Advocacy: Feminism often advocates for gender equality, seeking to eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities for all genders. 2. Increased Awareness: Feminist movements have brought attention to issues like workplace discrimination, gender-based violence, and reproductive rights, raising awareness and fostering dialogue.

Pros

3. Legal and Policy Changes: Feminist activism has contributed to legal and policy changes that protect women's rights, such as laws addressing domestic violence and sexual harassment. 4. Empowerment: Feminism encourages women to challenge societal expectations, empowering them to pursue education, careers, and personal goals. 5. Intersectionality: Contemporary feminism often incorporates intersectionality, recognizing the interconnectedness of different forms of discrimination, including race, class, and sexuality.

1. Stereotyping2. Radical Extremes3. Overemphasis on Gender4. Lack of Inclusivity5. Language and Terminology

Negative Aspects

1. Stereotyping: Some critics argue that certain branches of feminism reinforce stereotypes about women and men, potentially limiting individual choices. 2. Radical Extremes: Extreme views within feminist circles may alienate individuals who may otherwise support gender equality, leading to divisions and negative perceptions. 3. Overemphasis on Gender: Critics suggest that an exclusive focus on gender-related issues might overshadow other important societal concerns.

Cons

4. Lack of Inclusivity: Some argue that certain feminist narratives may not be inclusive of diverse perspectives, leaving out women from different cultural, religious, or socioeconomic backgrounds. 5. Language and Terminology: Debates around specific terms and language used in feminist discourse can sometimes create confusion or resistance among those unfamiliar with the terminology.

Reminder!Feminism involves multiple perspectives, both positive and negative. It's important to acknowledge and appreciate its complexities.🙏Happy Women's Day!😊

Feminism: Understanding Its Complexity

Discussing the positive and negative aspects of feminism can be subjective, as perspectives on this topic vary. It's important to note that feminism itself is a diverse movement with various branches and beliefs.

Let's realise that criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home. Let's realise that the person we are going to correct and condemn will probably justify himself or herself, and condemn us in return; or like the gentle Taft, will say. "I don't see how I could have done any differently from what I have."

Criticism

Lincoln had learned by bitter experience that sharp criticisms and rebukes almost invariably end in futility.

A Lesson From Lincoln's Experience

Why not begin on yourself? From a purely selfish standpoint, that is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others-yes, and a lot less dangerous. "Don't complain about the snow on your neighbour's roof," said Confucius, "when your own doorstep is unclean."

To Change And Regulate And Improve Oneself

When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.

Dealing People

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain-and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Understand And Forgive

How To Win Friends and Influence People

I remember the knot in my stomach as I walked into my new office a year ago.A new team, a fresh start, and a nagging uncertainty – would they ever trust me? Building trust can feel like navigating a minefield. You never know if you’re too greedy or too cautious. But what if I tell you there are some secrets to unlocking those barriers and fostering genuine connections?In this issue, I’ll share the insights I’ve gathered on my journey. And I will give you practical tips to help you build trust bridges for lasting relationships.

How to Navigate the Minefield of New Relationships

I am not a shy person. And I usually speak a lot with people when I meet someone new. But not if I am in an unknown territory.Things get complicated if you don’t know the place or the people. You are out of your comfort zone. So you can’t reach the same confidence level, even if you have some.In those moments, a trust rulebook would be a fundamental resource. Therefore, I will give you seven suggestions to help you get from awkward introductions to lasting trust. Here are the 7 unwritten rules of trust.

The Trust Rulebook

You are reading an excerpt from <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com">The Challenge</a>, a newsletter where I discuss self-improvement, goal-setting, habits, time management, and health tips and tricks.Every week, you will get the following:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">a challenge to pursue to improve your life</li><li class="ql-align-justify">an infographic to track it.</li></ul><a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">Subscribe now</a> to help me continue publishing this type of content.

The Challenge

Whenever I enter a new group, I want them to like me. I change my attitude based on people’s mood and style. But when I started my new job, I understood that wasn’t me.I am not a shy person who only answers questions. I am the one making them! And I felt awful and wrong when I tried to mimic a more passive style.Then, with time, I turned back to my old habits. And now, I speak and laugh a lot, and I have fun with people always bantering.I feel happier. I feel better. And people love interacting with me. Whenever I enter the room, they feel my presence. And I have to say – I adore it.

1 – Don’t change your attitude.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Be yourself no matter the circumstances. You better fail by showing yourself than thrive but feel dead inside.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People will sense you faking a behavior. You are not an actor – you can’t pretend to be someone else.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Stick to what worked for you in the past. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Behave as always, and you will build trust with the right people.</li></ul>

Tips & Tricks

When you are friends with everyone, you’ll never be alone. And that’s a good thing.But the best thing about being friends with everyone is they will compete for your attention. I don’t want to manipulate anyone, ok? But that’s what happens when you build trust and relationships with everyone in the group.

2 – Be friends with anyone. (1)

At my workplace, I used to interact only with my team members. But then I switched teams twice and got to know all my colleagues.I didn’t have a great relationship with my old team members. But as I went out with others, they became more careful and available.They invited me to go out with them more often. And I think they were jealous because they felt abandoned (even if I never did it.)So, by building friendships with everyone, they entered a competition for my attention. I notice that happening sometimes. And I love feeling the center of attention.

2 – Be friends with anyone. (2)

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Being friends with anyone doesn’t mean you have to build deep relationships with the entire group. A little bit of trust with everyone is enough. Make them feel validated by your words. And they will stick with you.</li><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/3-simple-rules-to-boost-your-storytelling">Storytelling </a>is the best way to build trust. And you don’t need to share your deepest thoughts. Tell them about something nice that happened to you. They will try to share something similar, and there you are – you built a connection. Every time you interact with them, you have a fallback plan.</li></ul>

Once you build a trust bridge with everyone, you can pick your preferences and go deeper with them. You can transform that trust into lasting friendships or even love interests. So how do you build deeper trust with someone?It’s simple – you speak from your soul. Tell them private things whenever you feel they are ready for it. Show your feelings – they will support you if they care.

3 – Speak your soul out.

In Italian, they use “preferire” as the verb to express a preference. But that word comprises two parts:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">“Pre,” which means before, or first.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And “ferire,” which means to hurt.</li></ul>So, be careful because your preferences might hurt someone if you remove your attention from them.

Pick a preference

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Wait for a moment of weakness when people will open up more. And when that happens, it’s your moment to share a deep story. There’s only one thing to be careful about – you must find a connection to what your interlocutor was saying.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Not everyone likes to show weaknesses. But there’s a way you can unlock them. If someone stays by themselves or fades out, ask them two questions. First, are you okay? Second, are you sure? </li></ul>

Nobody loves the I-know-everything type of person – that’s one thing we could all agree on.They are often arrogant. They make people feel stupid. And they have little empathy to understand what’s wrong with their behavior.Also, helping others feels terrific – this is another thing we could all agree on.It empowers our image in front of others and trust in ourselves. So, when there’s someone in need, we will probably help them if we can.

4 – Admit mistakes and failures.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Reveal your mistakes and failures and show people what you learned. Those confessions will give you something to laugh about together. And they will incentivize people to share ideas and similar experiences.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Ask for help whenever you don’t understand something. People love to be helpful.</li></ul>

Going out in small groups, you will only connect with a few people. And, especially in the beginning, the risk of awkward moments is very high.But if you promote big gatherings, it becomes easier.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">You can speak with more people and connect with all of them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">There can’t be awkward moments because you can simply talk with someone else or include them in the conversation.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And you can <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/the-secrets-of-charisma">showcase your role </a> in the group, whether you are a leader or anything else. You will find your place.</li></ul>

5 – Promote big gatherings.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Ask people if they want to go out and tell them they can bring who they wish. It will make them feel safer and more willing to go out.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Don’t insist too much. Everyone has a private life and might not want to share why they can’t come.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use the rule of thirds. If somebody refuses three times, don’t ask them again for a few times or do it more rarely.</li></ul>

I often discuss confidence in my articles because it’s the turning point in people’s lives. However, I receive messages from readers who say they are too introverted to show confidence. Yet, confidence has nothing to do with being an introvert or extrovert.Confidence is about standing your ground and telling your ideas.Speak up if you disagree with someone. Don’t live the life someone else chooses for you. And show people you are not afraid to fight for your ideas.

6 – Show confidence.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Learn how to <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/the-art-of-confidence">build confidence </a> if you are too shy to speak with people.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Study <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/how-to-improve-your-body-language">people’s body language </a>and mimic it to connect with them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Stand your ground and share your ideas without fear.</li></ul>

There’s a big difference between an acquaintance and a friend. And if you want to enter the second group, you must help people thrive. When I was in high school, I only focused on my success. I wanted to crush the competition and rule supreme. So, I had no friends.Later on, I changed. I tried helping others thrive, and they brought me with them.People want to share their recognition if you ever help them. And most of them will always be grateful. So, help others and be a giver – you will double the benefits.

7 – Help others thrive.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Listen carefully to spot requests for help. Sometimes, people won’t admit they need help (been there.) But they will appreciate your offering solutions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Don’t make people feel stupid. Suggest new ideas and things they may want to try. But allow them to solve the problem by themselves. They will grow faster and feel more empowered.</li></ul>

The only way to build trust and lasting relationships is by being yourself and showcasing your good and bad traits.Not everyone will enjoy both. But at least you tried.So, this is your challenge of the week.Focus on a strategy to build trust in people. Pick one and use it. But don’t forget about the others in case you need them.[<a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">SUBSCRIBE</a> TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE TRACKING INFOGRAPHIC]

Taking Responsibility to Stop Being a Victim

Practices in gratitude. Give thanks to your scar-givers. They made you into the awesome and loving person you are today.

Thank Your Wicked Parents has at its core a shocking but undeniable truth: Some parents are wicked and repeatedly lash their helpless children with abuse and humiliation. Other parents, while not intentionally malicious, nevertheless fail to provide their family with the loving kindness that they need and deserve. But the author also offers a positive message: While uncaring, cruel parents can't change the long history of their abuse, grown-up children should not only let the misery of the past go, but also learn from the lessons that their parents unintentionally taught them through their actions. In other words, the pain of the past can be transformed into blessings. A unique book, Thank Your Wicked Parents is intended to offend abusive parents and, more important, to provide their adult children with a new perspective on the past and a path to a far brighter future.
