INVALIDATING OUR GENIUS

WRITTEN BY MAMA RABIN

​

Human Ingenuity. We can be geniuses on one day!  And unrecognizable as geniuses on another. Or even within the time span of a few minutes our genius cover can be blown. Because we are so gifted with the ability to "act or react to our feelings and emotions in a most unique way, and right on cue". As if we are waiting for the prompting from a movie director to call out "action"!! That characteristic can be seen as insanity if we are not careful about our timing. And it can "invalidate our genius" status.

I'm talking about how quickly a simple conversation between two people with a very respectful relationship with each other. Can end in a conflict among themselves. And let's not mention, if it's a major conflict!

But any of these can turn into a situation with our "metaphoric fictional luggage" packed and waiting by the doorway exit for us. Luggage by the way that was packed by someone who sincerely cares about us. But??....Not in that moment!!

In that luggage are our thoughts and the particular "emotions and feelings" related to our thoughts about whatever the conflict is. And laid out are our peculiar "actions and reaction" to our distinct "feelings and emotions". And lastly our individual "consequences" waiting to be crammed into the overpacked bag. Because we demonstrated those well thought out blatant feelings and emotions so passionately.

 Which resulted in our luggage zipped up tightly with our most precious possessions which are,"The Specific Trigger Words or Events That Set Us Off". The words and responses that we are unknowingly unaware of. Because we are "emotionally blind" to them!!

Flexing our mind power is what we do and we do it well. It's how we humans have conceived masterpieces of art, literature and music. And the creative brilliance of our advanced medicine, science and technology is extraordinary.
  
And yet we still find it very difficult to "master our own feelings and emotions", concerning certain "thoughts that our mind conceives." And we are apprehensive about controlling our "actions and reactions" to those feelings and emotions. Which if we would actually do that, we would be deciding our own "consequences".

But It seems that we believe we are hostages to those emotions, the actions and the reactions. And the consequences as well.  Because we fear that we would not be the same person without them.

And we are absolutely right!! "We Would Be A Much Better" version of ourselves if we could just "learn how to tame them".  And it begins with "Self-Awareness".

We are not held captive to them. "Because WE are intelligent beings. And that means that it is possible for us to become masters of our own emotions, actions and reaction. And when that happens the consequences are determined by us.

What would happen if we collectively agree to watch the doorway exit for luggage that looks familiar and check the contents to be sure it doesn't belong to us?

We must do this for our own sake and the sake of humanity as a whole!! So that the people in our lives are not tempted to pack our luggage and place it at the nearest exit!! Then perhaps they can actually see us for the geniuses that we truly are.

Enjoy The Journey And Pack Light!!!
