However, with all certainty we can say that there are other types of influences related to our behavior as thinking people, and they lead us to specific situations that sometimes we do not realize that occur, however, the people around us if they can easily grasp what is the way out of the confinement of our mind, despite that we advise important people for us (like our parents) usually end up doing what we think best.
In previous articles we related to our capacity of understanding and that this characteristic should allow us to think before acting, but this does not always occur in this way, and this allows us to exemplify some actions performed by any living species that cohabits with us and of which we can visualize ourselves in this mirror, and highlight that everything that has life around us is part of our constant learning during the physical existence of us in this complex but splendid universe.
The inspiration for this reflection I could get a few days ago when I witnessed an action that caught my attention, I could see how a pair of hummingbirds in search of nectar clashed incessantly with the surface of a glass component of a window, although on several occasions I tried to scare them away they soon followed with the same effort, this first inspired me to make an animated image of these beautiful hummingbirds and now to make this small reflection of life.
As I was able to express, the action described above allowed me to remember that sometimes the same thing can happen to any of us, because sometimes we want to obtain some kind of nectar but we do not notice that there are certain barriers that we must know about passing and that because of our stubbornness become invisible or transparent before our eyes, and therefore, prevents us from achieving our stated purpose, causing us not to seek another viable path and we crash incessantly as the hummingbirds of our animated gif.
We know that the last word will always be ours, but, in many occasions the people around us can see things in a better way than us, and if they are loved ones even more, usually it is difficult for us to accept that we are wrong, and by not correcting this behavior we are doubly wrong, so I always try personally to listen to the advice of the people around me before acting and if they are loved ones even more, knowing that not everyone wants the best for us but it is necessary to be able to link us with any kind of idea however unstable it may be.
Therefore, these invisible or transparent barriers can be seen or visualized and we can look for a suitable way to reach the proposed goal, that is, thinking before acting, according to my criteria, and this can be applied or extrapolated to any area of our lives as in the family, work, business, among others, so it is important to put aside any kind of ego, pride or simply stubbornness, surely any of you have seen or have gone through a similar situation and can provide important recommendations in this regard and manages to consolidate a better learning on the issue raised.
Until another opportunity my dear and appreciated readers.
