Emotional Mastery

Beschreibung

Are your emotional coping skills prevenient you from being a happy person?
The externalist view of happiness is the norm in the West, including the United States. In order to be happy, you have to look outside yourself. It is not something you are born with. When you are in a condition of depression, you feel it from the inside out, yet it is triggered by external circumstances like people and things. A lot of things must go your way before you can be happy.

What a shame because, if you follow these guidelines when defining happiness, you are unlikely to experience much joy. In the event that you do achieve this emotional state, it will not continue for very long at all. How did this happen? You are not really set up for long-lasting and intensely pleasant experiences if you go by these definitions. Because you are not in charge, they won't. Either happiness occurs on a regular basis or it does not. When the stars align, or when you roll the dice, it is more likely to happen. To live your life in this manner is the best way to go about it. A better way to think about happiness is as an outcome of your ability to manage your emotions.

A series of acts that you have some degree of influence over are the emphasis of a skills-based approach. You can better understand the repercussions of your actions and feelings if you pay attention to what you are doing and where you are doing it. Choosing your feelings is a powerful tool.

Happiness is more durable when you can choose how you respond and focus on the positive aspects of your life. Control is attained as a result of this. When compared to someone who simply waits to see if others would be good to them, this individual is a lot more proactive. He or she sits and waits to see if the stars align. It is possible they are waiting for an opportunity to arise in their current employment, hoping for a promotion or for a scholarship, or hoping to do well on a test.

Your best strategy is to take control of your own happiness, rather than relying on another person's good fortune to bring it into your life. Life is what occurs when you are busy making other plans, and you are not in control of that.

Emotional coping skills can help you take charge of your life in a wide range of situations, so use them to your advantage.

7 Seconds to Die - A Military...

John F. Antal

A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
 
Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
 
The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

The Greatest Cities of Ancient...

Editors Charles River

Long before Alexandria was a city and even before Memphis and Babylon had attained greatness, the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur stood foremost among ancient Near Eastern cities. Today, the greatness and cultural influence of Ur has been largely forgotten by most people, partially because its monuments have not stood the test of time the way other ancient culture’s monuments have. For instance, the monuments of Egypt were made of stone while those of Ur and most other Mesopotamian cities were made of mud brick and as will be discussed in this report, mud-brick may be an easier material to work with than stone but it also decays much quicker. The same is true to a certain extent for the written documents that were produced at Ur. Likewise, no site better represents the importance of the Sumerians than the city of Uruk. Between the fourth and the third millennium BCE, Uruk was one of several city-states in the land of Sumer, located in the southern end of the Fertile Crescent, between the two great rivers of the Tigris and the Euphrates.
As Hittite power grew during the Old Kingdom, the royal city of Hattusa became more important and even wealthier. From his citadel overlooking Hattusa, Hattusili I launched the first major Hittite attacks into the Near East, first conquering the cities between Hattusa and the Mediterranean (Macqueen 2003, 36). Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. Among all the cities that thrived in the ancient Near East, few can match the opulence and ostentatiousness of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire for much of the seventh century BCE.

A Rare Recording of John E Brown

John E. Brown

John E. Brown (April 2, 1879 – February 12, 1957) was a prominent Methodist evangelist, publisher, radio pioneer, and educator in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1919, he established John Brown University, one of Arkansas’ leading private universities to provide an interdenominational, Christian education for needy students. He was also the leading figure in securing passage of a law prohibiting the sale of alcohol in Benton County, a ban that continued into the twenty-first century.

Mornings When I Wake

Brett Alan Dewing

Mornings When I Wake takes the idea of responding to a book (in this case, Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm) and the "selfing" that arises from the interplay of spirit and text and takes the reader through it experientially, starting in the abstract and slowly moving to the rational. Made up of chapters named for the characters of Holy the Firm, Mornings When I Wake is an ode to Dillard's masterpiece and her overall oeuvre, borrowing themes and styles from many of her books. Put succinctly, it answers the question of what happens when a piece of art lodges in your breastbone.
