As part of our internal wishes and ways we perceive our environment we have influencing factors in our life. We have our inner feelings, our emotions and our perception of our environment as well as outer influencers. There needs to be a desire to heal our weaknesses and to improve ourselves in order for life to have meaning and part of this is to overcome negative forces in our life.
Our life is about our desires and our desires are products of our decisions to create and fulfil them. We can use many techniques to help ourselves overcome barriers stopping us from improving ourselves in order to have more self awareness. This process is about learning and it is ongoing. We can be our own teachers and also learners. We need to keep our mind open to explore and experience. We need to learn and to be open to learn. We need to befriend our life influencers. Our life forces are everywhere, there are in our inner being and internal system of decision making, they are in our external environment and the way outside environment effects us.
We need to take action in our life in order to improve our control over life forces. This is partly our freedom to act and to choose. If we become passive, then life influencers choose for us, if we become active in life, then we start choosing life and exert our own influence on life. Therefore free will is partly dependant on us and our active participation in life while overcoming or accepting our life influencers. This makes us determined to take action for our future and to channel our destiny in life. We therefore need to be active participants in our life events, instead of being passive recipients.
Our self image and how we perceive ourselves is also important in how we deal with life. If we have a negative self image then we end up letting outside influences effect us negatively. Otherwise if we have positive self image, then we take outside influences as lessons to be learned. Our positive self image helps us build our characters, we help ourselves to get stronger, and to deal with situations better.
There is also internal life forces where our inner decisions, inner values and beliefs impacts the way we are. There is a dance between our inner reality and the outer reality where we keep on updating our inner self and make decisions about our life accordingly. Therefore by keeping an open mind, and knowing we are free as much as we are restricted to our freedom by the relation between our inner and outer influencers. This freedom to act is what impacts our life, it is what determines the direction we take in life.
From a macro level life forces can be natural, social and personal. These forces have profound effect on the individuals. They shape our thoughts, attitudes, and life experiences. Natural forces impact individuals through environment, biological factors and physical law. Each of the points mentioned impact the individual in various ways. For example weather will shapes habits, genetics shapes physical and mental health and physical law impacts our interaction with the world. Also social forces, such as culture and politics impacts the way people live, act, their life style and opportunities. Lastly personal forces such as personality, cognition and emotion influences our interactions, perceptions and wellbeing.
Another facet to life forces is interpersonal forces such as family, peers, community. These influence our development, choices and engagements. We spend most of our time with our family and in community therefore they impact us greatly. We need to try and cultivate part of ourself that is unique to us. In many instances we get our sense of worth from our family and peers. Therefore looking inside to find our worth is necessary to our cultivation. We need to be self reliant in life and when faced with life forces to be able to analyse and synthesise these forces according to our own thoughts and feelings. Also technological factors impact our communication, access to knowledge and our innovation, therefore by investigating and investing our time on technology in many ways we invest on our future, we get to live a life where we can communicate, and gain knowledge more freely. Therefore these will transform the way we see the world and how we make connections and make decisions in our life time.
Another point to consider is our world view, this is the way we view the world, others and ourselves, these shape our understanding and purpose in life. We need to be aware that we have the ability to change our world view by power of our mind. We have certain beliefs and values, these beliefs and values can change over time, we need to be flexible enough to change ourselves and our worldview depending on our knowledge, understanding and circumstances. Therefore having an open mind in dealing with life forces is very important as this enables us to be flexible towards change.
We can analyse situations as and when they arise. By analysing situations we make way to better understanding. We produce the form in which we understand the situation. Another side to this analysis is to synthesise the circumstance viewpoints, by doing this we use our experience to make sense of the subject matter, we give the subject matter content. Therefore when dealing with life forces we need both to be able to make reasonable judgement about the situation as well as use our senses and experience to come up to relevant solution.
Life forces impact our cultural, philosophical, or even scientific understanding of what drives our life. Therefore life forces impact on us can overlap with our health, wellness, and even nature of our existence. When dealing with life in general, therefore at every moment in life we also deal with life forces, as these are part of us. We need to ensure that we swim with the life forces and not go against them, and this helps us throughout our life.
