What Controls Or Guides Your Actions?

Question

The limitations of no or the expectations of yes?

Simple questions can produce profound answers. So think about it and be honest.

You're answer is a sincere answer, Nikki. I grew up in the same type of environment. Restrictions always seem more difficult to hurdle when you've got more of them to overcome.

You can do it though. And the more you learn the easier it becomes.

Answer 1

I think that the limitations of no guide my actions. I'm not particularly privileged, in many aspects of my life. Rent an apartment, blue collar job, kid, and no one really in my life to depend on for much of anything. If it seems like complaining, it isn't. But when you are living in the lower of classes, the limitations are everywhere. There's always something to overcome before you can revel in those "expectations of yes". I can expect I will do something, or that I deserve something, but find out the limitations rather quickly. So if those things are important to me, I must overcome those limitations to have what I want. I will get what I want, I just have to work a little harder than others. I would think that living with the expectation of yes could lead to a rude awakening. No one is owed anything. If you feel you should have something, you'll have to work through the things holding you back.
I hope I explained my thoughts right. It all sounds so good in my head... Have yourself a good night!

Answer 2

I always used to answer my limitations with "JUST DO IT," cuz every one was telling me to do it. For some odd reason even my own inclinations on my expectations always seemed to lead me in the other direction in which I thought i was being lead.
Oddly enough every choice I had made seemed to be influenced upon my families expectations.
I finally decide maybe I should choose my own direction more often. Instead of listening to other peoples advice. Listening to what people wanted from me was was leading me somewhere, but that somewhere lead me to no where. Life is weird like that.
I started to think maybe it was for a reason.
My life hasn't turned out like every one else and even myself assumed my life would be like. Now I just let life push me along. Any direction it brings me too, I will indeed follow. For now I sit back and cruise along the highway of life.
With no back seat drivers.

Answer 3

If you ask whats in my tin head, then I'd say the consequence drives my actions. It's the goal that is enticing and motivating. The pleasure that I get at the end of the journey is what motivates me to push ahead in spite of the hurdles.

Answer 4

The limitations of yes.

Answer 5

My personal integrity guides my actions. If I can say "yes" something fits into my personal guidelines for behavior, I do it. However, if I say, "no" something does not fit, I don't do it. No isn't a limitation, it's a...directional signal.

Answer 6

Honestly, I used to be much more influenced by others' definitions of me but now I find so many of them to be repulsive (peoples' opinions, that is,) that I try to ignore them but I must admit that slander really hurts.

Answer 7

That depends.
It has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself.
Factor in, one's level of narcissism, insecurity, confidence, optimism, pessimism, hope, baggage, etc.

Answer 8

It mostly depends on ur emotional state of mind
