Hello beautiful Souls. My message today is about us being so quick to label people.
We tend to need to categorize people, they are extrovert, introvert ,Optomists, Pessimists, People Pleasers. All these personality types are made more apparent and believed by our behaviour. Our behavior is defined by our emotions and circumstances.
We may seem to be a totally different personality than we really are. We have witnessed someone being reserved, quiet and almost anti-social in one situation and then suddenly see them in a totally different light in an another enviroment.
If we look at the circumstances, such as trauma and fear related experiences, we will be perceived to be a totally differnt personality. Someone who has an addiction will be perceived as an addict even if they make an incredible turn around.
A thief is always see as a thief, a cheater is always deemed a cheater! We are not willing to see a new person develop and change for the better. Too often individuals are also trying so hard to reinforce behaviours and attitudes based on psychometric tools and guidelines. We are so relentless in our judgement and need to label everyone sometimes forget to allow for change and improvement.
We have to stop living the lie of believing we are not able to do something based on a label and generalisation of what we should be. Sterotyping is limiting our minds and the opportunity we have to find further growth. It is time to stop with the labels and make every day a new day to create and opportunity to improve and change for the better.
This is also a mindset we give ourselves, not just to others by saying things like “I will never be good at this!” Is a label you give yourself, you are having a defeatist label and sticking it on with super glue!!
Let’s give everyone and ourselves the opportunity to have a second chance, improve, find betterment and growth through effort and positive change!
