In the best case scenario, when we picture the self being affected by the possibility of a negative result, we make positive changes internally as a measure to influence a positive outcome.
In the worst case scenario, when we picture the self being affected by the possibility of a negative result, we attempt to control the external environment as a measure to influence a positive outcome.
Life experience seems to reflect that our focus should always be changing only what we can actually control…our way of thinking, responding and acting.
Through examination of life happenings, it seems that whenever fear motivates one to make changes, fear promotes the usage of external methods to make change;
External methods of change almost always have a negative effect or impact on others, if not the self as well.
The way we perceive a situation can create a fear. Thus, changing ones perception of situations is a vital tool.
