There are three things you must accept about yourself and others.

YOU’RE IRRATIONAL.

Humans do not make logical decisions. We think we know why we desire something or why we make a decision, but we don’t. The true reason is beyond our conscious awareness. Yes, you can become more rational, but it’s an uphill battle. You’re born with a chimp brain.

YOU’RE EMOTIONAL.

The body is emotional. It’s beautiful, and it’s difficult. Emotions make our relationships both bonding and frustrating. Accepting that emotions come out of nowhere, and that sometimes, you don’t have control over them, is essential. This is true for others as well. We often cannot explain why an emotion is present. But we can witness it, feel it fully, and let it fade. However, there’s no guarantee that others will even be aware they are feeling an emotion!

YOU’RE REACTIVE.
