Ask the important questions
We get annoyed that we missed our appointment, get upset when someone says something you don’t like, get irritated when you don’t like something but you never ask the important question. Why? Why are you annoyed? Why are you upset? Why are you irritated? That’s the question we should be asking ourselves.
When you ask yourself the important questions you get to the root of issues by getting an important answer everytime.
Someone says my nose is big, everytime I get called out for having a big nose I get upset and lash out, but one day I didn’t want to get upset anymore, I wanted to leave that behind.
And the next time someone told me that I have a big nose I didn’t get upset like I used to and I asked myself why? Why am I getting upset that I’m being called out for having a big nose?
From asking that simple question your brain goes deep to actually find out why you’re getting upset, you remember people mocking you when you were younger, but no it’s deeper than that, your brain goes deeper until you see that the root cause of the emotions was the time when you were younger and your crush said you have a big nose.
And that’s what made me insecure about the nose ever since. From that realization you can decide that you know the truth, am I going to keep getting upset or am I going to let it go and understand that no one is perfect.
