Many factors account for the problems we face in life. Already we have broached a few, particularly the quirk with our school system, our acquired reluctance to probe, question, or challenge statements we obviously disagree with, and express our honest opinion about same, and so on. There are more. And all the ones we could possibly identify can be classified under 4 main attitudes or habits; viz: Processionary Caterpillar Syndrome, Pleasure-Pain Trappings, Unconscious Incompetence, and False Faith.
If you find problems, difficulties, or challenges in any aspect of your life, chances are that you are a victim of at least 3 of these attitudes or habits. Indeed, the 4 attitudes or habits are intertwined, in that, at any point they all manifest but to different extents, and in such a way that each reinforces the others. They form a very dangerous team that causes serious problems for individuals and groups of all sizes.
For instance, they are largely responsible for the fact that most of the countries in Africa are bedevilled with age old developmental problems; even though they are very rich in natural resources, and almost all the people are very religious and have been praying fervently and consistentlyfor so many decades. And though the universities, polytechnics, training colleges, and technical schools produce numerous intellectuals – professors, doctorate holders, masters holders, diploma holders. In addition to those with academic qualifications from very reputable universities across the globe. A whole lot of people with serious academic credentials and exposure and are supposedly in charge at the various levels.
Getting to know these attitudes or habits – especially how to deal with each of them – will save you time, money, and stress, as you get to avoid most – if not all – the potential difficulties or frustrations and regrets in life and get you to be far happier in life; far more than you could imagine for yourself. By extension, that will also help you earn significantly more income or generate so much more wealth for yourself and your people.
Let us look at each of them…
