    S2 Ep3 - FAILED TACTICS

    Those of us who recognise the selfish acts of people who use chameleon tactics to try to camouflage their true selfish intentions refuse to fall victim to their manipulative ways. The shifty chameleons dont like it when you can see through their lies and see them for who they really are because they strongly believe that they are smarter than those that they are trying to fool. Even though not everyone speaks up many see them for who they are but prefer to avoid the conflict that comes with confrontation. Showing them that you can see their true intentions forces them to change their tactics and forces them to come to terms with the fact that they arent as smart as they think that they are which results in them being overly frustrated and grumpier for most of the time. Many of the chameleons spend alot of their time on trying to figure out how they can manipulate someone even in the most normal conversations but they don't realise that when you steer away from your normal behaviour you stand out like a sore thumb. So if your nice only for some of the time then people will wonder what is your angle? And what do you you really want? Chameleons dont want to show you their true colours because the truth that they deny is a lot uglier when it's not filtered. So if you have grown to be selfish and you really don't stand for anything but your own needs than own it and see how many people choose to be a part of your world. Or be someone who people would rather flock to because you are the person who has others in mind when you make important decisions by showing others the respect that they show you. Your choices lead to your consequences so don't blame others for where you've ended up.

    S2 Ep2 - SHOWPONY IN DISGUISE

    Some people get frustrated if they are not the centre of attention all the time. When they are not included in the conversation they will pony around until the groups eyes are only on them. Showing off only when the crowd is watching them in the hope that you would see them as though they have things under complete control and that they are stand out happy all the time. Their disguise may please the crowd but when your show pony varies so much from your true self that will only come out when the doors are closed in the comfort of your own home it is unhealthy. Their insecurities force them to take part in a conversation even when they have nothing to say, this leads to them putting their dignity on the line all for a laugh. They parade the floor showing others that they are confident in all aspects of their life even though they might have struggles in their life that are adding to their insecurities. To ignore the pain is to deny the pain and how you are actually feeling now masking it with a smile will mean your sorrows will be overlooked and you will never have the assistance that could get you out of your slump. They don't realise that our struggles might be different but we all try to deal with them the best we can by not ignoring them and pretending they dont exist will put you in the line of faking your conversations all to prevent anyone from getting to know the real you. The more you act past what you are really feeling the more the show pony takes control of you and puts you into a rollecoaster where you will lose yourself. So entertain all you like but not at the detriment of who you are. Acting the fool will lead to people treating you like a fool. Their is more substance in being real than ignoring your reality, so less pony and more you.

    S1 Ep24 - NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION

    Once you've made up your mind and decided what you want it's up to you alone to put steps in place in order to get yourself closer to your ideal job. This important decision shouldn't be taken lightly because it can sometimes seem an easy choice but when you have only focused on the advantages of the other job then its easy to fall in the trap of believing the grass is actually greener on the otherside. There is good and bad parts in any job but the questions we forget to ask ourselves is, Does the good out weigh the bad in the new job opportunity? And will your life change dramatically for the better with your new job? Changing your job on regular basis will eventually tire you out because the older you get the harder you'll find getting back on track with learning a new skillset. Our threshold to pressure varies from individual to individual, whether a high pressure job is any better than a low pressure job depends on the individual?. More money usually means more work unless you have managed a strategy to get more money with minimal work. Not all jobs are about the money some are purely about the reward you get for being successful in your chosen field. If we all chased the money more people would drop what they like, for what will bring them more dough. So if your passions aren't tied to a high end job then just focus on what job will fit your happiness requirements and let others dwell on their money situation and wonder why they have less time to enjoy because of their high paying job.
