From many stories, we know that if a frog drops into a pot of hot water, it will jump out, but if you continuously heat the pot, it will cook.
It is the same as how we experience the surrounding environment. If we are living continuously in a wrong relationship, wrong organizational culture, or wrong political environment, we adjust to it; however, if we arrive new into these, we realize that it is wrong!
The same is what we always discussed with my wife in the past. In Hungary most of people are sad and disappointed, dressing in dark and black clothes. If you know the mirror neuron concept, you understand the importance of the environment! If you smile at a child, it will smile back!
The same environmental change I experienced when I left my former workplace, and arrived to the Island!
Most people smile! Even the email culture is different!
Typically the emails start with the following sentence:
"I hope you are well"
Everybody has their challenges, but if you try to make your environment a more friendly and hearth warming cozy place, you will get back the same from others!
If you cannot change the environment, you need to switch!
Most people try to push the problems under the carpet, but it will create more problems later! Like not changing the oil in a car.
Nowadays typical health issue - cancer is hardly connected to these mental problems!
In Hungary, there is a particular case. If you listen to the national anthem, it is coded there. You need to suffer and accept the suffering, but it's not true! Everybody is responsible for their life and can change! Both in their life and their environment!
The only things are required to understand the problem and willingness for change!
