Why we do the things we do

Things that loneliness make us do.

Things that pride make us say.

Things that selfishness make us think.

Things that denial make us hide.

Things that self-esteem make us believe.

Things that honesty make us see.

Things that love make us feel.

Why we do the things we do........

When we allow our loneliness, or pride, or selfishness, or denial, or self-esteem, or honesty, or love to dominate every thoughts and actions.

But we often fail to realize that we own these traits and exercising self-control shows them who's the boss.

We will always have good and bad characteristic traits. Some of the most positive traits we can possess are compassion, integrity, trust and humility.

Whether its a positive sign or negative sign, they both need each other - like a battery in your car. Balance (positive and negative) is required for a better, stronger performance of who we are. 

Some circumstances in life give strength to our negative traits, and that is normal; but we must eventually shift gears and bring it back to our positive traits. When we practice to see the positive in every negative situation, it prepares us to face greater challenges life has to offer; it gives us endurance, and we become silent heroes to those who are watching us.
