Change your mood first if you want to change your life

You have arrived where you are today because of the choices you have made in your life thus far. Very true. BUT what exactly influences your choices? You are wrong if you think intellect has anything to do with it. It is all about your emotions and the mood that rules you.

Actually human behaviour is fascinating and can only be described as bizarre. We go through life trying very hard to justify our decisions with reasons that are as clever-sounding and as reasonable as possible. The truth is that we make most of our decisions based on our emotions and we then try desperately to justify them using logic. Here is a tragic typical example to drive my point home.

You choose to marry Angela instead of Jane who loves you to bits and whom you truly have feelings for just because you are in the mood to please your dad who worships university graduates and poor Jane didn't go beyond high school. That's the blunt truth but what do you tell your friends? 

"I really get turned on by a woman who has brains". "I Love Angela" "She is just right for me". One divorce later you still insist that it was Angela's fault and go on and on about how she messed up your life etc.

Now why did this guy decide to mess up his life by pleasing his dad? It happens that growing up he was the despised son. Hated and always punished as his siblings were favored. So he made it his life's mission to prove his dad wrong and succeeded big time. The other favoured siblings ended up greatly disappointing and so this guy lives his life to please his dad at all costs with mostly tragic consequences. (By the way, never ever marry a woman for the neighbors or your friends… not even for your dad or mum.)

I am sure you have heard this thing about humans being emotional decision-makers said many times already but chances are that you have never considered the fact that our emotions of the moment are always driven by our moods. The decision you will make when you are in a bad mood is very different from the decision you make when you are in a bubbly good mood. There are many factors that determine your mood, the most deadly is of course your past. There are folks who are permanently in a bad mood because of something that happened 30 years ago.

What’s your controlling mood just now based on your past? Be very careful if you fall under any of the following  categories;

- You are frustrated, disappointed and bitter because you have not reached anywhere near the high goals you set when you left school. The result is that you go through life being bitter and sceptical.

- Some girl or boy dumped you and you have been bitter and angry at life and everybody for the last 20 years.

- You can’t understand why all the guys you used to beat in class hands down are now doing much better than you are in life and are extremely successful while you remain a failure.

Well, I can’t change you. Nobody can. Only you can. My advise is that you focus on where you are going to live the rest of your life which is the future. Most of all don’t allow your decisions to be ruled by your emotions. Indeed you will never be able to see the opportunities that are right before you even now if your mood is all wrong. Now that has to the scariest thing of all because it means that you are trapped in your current situation by your mood.
