7 Ways To Be Unreasonable
Ever wanted to do something that goes against the grain? We all have, but sometimes it’s not easy to go against what everyone is doing or saying. We tell ourselves that “being unreasonable” is fruitless, pointless and even dangerous. But how many times have you seen people make a change in their lives just because they were being unreasonable?
In this article we are going to discuss why being unreasonable can be good for you, and offer 7 ways to embrace your desire for the impossible. Just know that these habits may take time for you to adopt, so keep an open mind when trying out these behaviors.
7. Be unreasonable with your ideas
We all have ideas, most of them good and some even excellent, but we hold back on sharing them out of fear that others won’t take our ideas seriously. These fears keep us from changing the world or making our lives better. Ideas are the basis for progress. You can’t achieve greatness if you don’t have a vision for it first, so share your idea with other people and make it available to as many people as possible. Your idea might be the spark needed to change someone else’s life, so don’t be afraid to be unreasonable with your ideas.
6. Be unreasonable with your actions
A lot of us hold back from doing things because we are afraid that the first step may be too difficult to take. We tend to be afraid of failure and intimidation, so we keep ourselves from making a single step if it will require a lot of sacrifice or effort. But being unreasonable with your actions could mean that you’re not willing to move forward at all. Being unreasonable means taking action and making a small step forward each day. There’s no need to go big as long as you take one small step every day, which will eventually turn into big steps if you continue doing this on a consistent basis over time.
5. Be unreasonable with your goals
Goals help us to focus our mind on what we should be doing, but sometimes we set goals that are entirely unachievable for us. This could be for a variety of reasons but most often it’s because we put unreasonable expectations on ourselves or expect too much from other people around us. While there is a bit of merit to setting big goals, you need to make sure that they are realistic and not based on things beyond your control. When you fail to meet your unrealistic expectations, you give up and feel like you accomplished nothing. Rather than setting unrealistic goals, try setting multiple small goals instead and focusing on achieving them one goal at a time.
4. Be unreasonable with your thoughts
Thinking can be a heavy burden to carry and sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to think positively all the time. We all experience negative thoughts, but it’s important to remember that there is a difference between having occasional negative thoughts and consistently thinking negatively. Negative thoughts are corrosive and they do nothing good for us. It's important to install the habit of looking at your daily thoughts in a positive manner so you will feel more confident about yourself.
3. Be unreasonable with your appearance
Your personality is largely based on the way you look, so it’s important for you to be reasonably confident about your physical appearance. Complaining about how you look every time someone makes a remark that isn’t positive will make you feel inferior and worthless, which will affect how others treat you. While everyone has their own opinions on beauty standards, there are still some things that are pretty much impossible to change. It's better to focus on accepting yourself and not caring what others think about you anyway.
2. Be unreasonable with your actions
Sometimes we just give up too easily and let life pass us by without doing anything at all in the hopes that everything will get better on its own. While we’re not always in control of our circumstances, it’s important to stop letting things just happen around us and make changes instead. One of the most important things you can do is to do something that you would like to be doing in the future. There are a lot of people that have made great changes in their lives by changing their habits and hobbies, and it can work for you too. Just remember that changing your habits will take time. Don’t give up when it feels like it's too hard or when other people are laughing at you for doing it. You can always pick up where you left off later if you decide that this is something beneficial for you to do.
1. Be unreasonable with your ideas
So many people keep their ideas and dreams to themselves, thinking that they can only be a success if they are shared with someone else. The truth is, you don’t have to share your ideas to achieve success in life. Just by believing that you are capable of doing great things and making a change in the world will give you the determination and drive needed to make it happen. It’s possible that you might fail in the end, but even if you do it was still worth trying because your journey will be an inspiration to others who may want to try later on as well.
In conclusion, everyone needs to learn how to be unreasonable at times in order to find happiness. We tend to feel more comfortable in our comfort zones and it’s easy for us to overthink the things that we do. But being unreasonable can help you get out of your comfort zone by pushing you past your own limitations and helping you achieve greatness.
