Calmness Versus Excitement

 

Here's a bonus question:  Between a EXCITING person and a CALM person, WHO stands out?  I'm absolutely sure that the EXCITED fella really stands out even in a mamooth crowd.  BUT HOW about the CALM fella?  Unfortunately, in that apples to apples comparison, the former stands out hands down.  BUT WHY?  The old school of thought tells us that it is damn easy to be CALM even WHEN doing nothing.  WHEREAS, to be EXCITED, you've to pump up yourself like your adrenalin goes up up and up💚💛💜

Verily true, EXCITEMENT is that state of intense enthusiasm, typically present WHEN we are going through really 'short-lived' emotions. And EXCITEMENT is that future-focused attitude that usually mobilizes our energy by seeking out novelty and change WHILE pursuing our active goals.  Of course, WHEN our discussion veers towards romantic EXCITEMENT, it obviously creates those feelings of interest, happiness and enthusiasm.  WHEREAS WHEN we compare it to CALMNESS, they are quite poles apart because the latter refers to that absence of any agitation, tension, distress OR disturbance.  LIKE WHEN we say that the weather is CALM, we mean that storms, hurricanes and the like are NOT anticipated to happen soon❌❌❌

BUT WHEN we invoke CALMNESS, it does NOT mean only being free of negative elements BUT instead, it includes positive aspects that enhance flourishing.  CALMNESS relates to [BUT is NOT identical to] positive states of being, such as relaxation and patience.  BUT WHEN we swing over to our life goals, WHICH of CALMNESS or EXCITEMENT you think will carry us through to the FINISH LINE successfully?  I believe, hands down, that it is CALMNESS that will bring us over💥💥💥

NOT to downplay all the UPSIDEs of EXCITEMENT, I did bear witness WHERE, sadly, a person flopped in his/her journey to achieve his goals WHEN most of the time, EXCITEMENT was 'all over here' even as almost everyone around him can witness the trajectory of his adrenalin that keeps moving upward.  Sadly, CALMNESS has a role to play in our journey to achieve our goals. WHY?  Because CALMNESS offers us that most pleasant state.  Unfortunately, many people fail to distinguish between CALM-ENERGY versus TENSE-ENERGY since they believe that WHENEVER they are energetic, they experience a certain degree of tension❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  Psychologists did researches on this mix-up between CALMNESS and EXCITEMENT and they claim that CALMNESS of mind does NOT mean we should stop our activity BUT real CALMNESS should be found in the activity itself.  YES dude it is easy to feel CALMNESS in inactivity BUT calmness in activity is really the TRUE CALMNESS.  And that kind of dynamic CALMNESS can be found in meaningful intrinsic activities that promote our balanced approach in our life journey.  And NOT to forget, DON'T put all your eggs in one basket by thinking [wrongly] that only EXCITEMENT will lead you to success.  Go for your CALMNESS to bring you over to success as well😁😁😁
