CONTROLLING OTHERS – Daily Wisdom Words

TODAY’S DAILY WISDOM WORD IS: DISAPPOINTMENTS. WE ALL FEEL DISAPPOINTED FROM TIME TO TIME. THE FEELING OF BEING DISAPPOINTED USUALLY COMES FROM DISPLEASURE IN OURSELVES FOR FAILING AT AN EXPECTATION WE HAVE. IF YOU ASK MOST OF US, WE WOULD ANSWER THAT WE GET DISAPPOINTED WITH OURSELVES BASED ON GOALS OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE DID NOT ACHIEVE. WE WILL TALK about being disappointed in ourselves and in others.

Prior to this let us take a look at the meaning of disappointments, both in the Webster Dictionary and our daily wisdom words meaning for disappointments.

Webster definition of disappointments-The feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations.

Daily Wisdom Words definition of disappointments- a feeling resulting from failed expectations we have when we don’t achieve a goal or hope set or failed expectations we have when others let us down.

As I mentioned above, for most of us the feeling of disappointment is caused more often by our expectations we have for ourselves. The first thing we must do to avoid that feeling is set realistic goals we set for ourselves.

For example, Sally wants to lose 100 pounds. She sets out determined, but is an emotional eater. within a month, she loses ten of these pounds. Then, she is called into her bosses office at work. He tells her due to low sales records for the year they must lay off a number of employees. Sally in one of them. She “feels” awful. the previous week, what she wasn’t aware of was her immediate boss left the company because he too, was a part of the layoff. Sally had applied for his position, “assuming” he quit.

What lessons can we learn about expectations in Sally’s brief example? First, we must learn we set a goal not preparing ourselves of unexpected consequences. There are many things in life that happen we simply do not have control over. We also “expected” we also set our expectation over something we did not investigate to get all the facts. Because Sally is an “emotional eater” and has set such a lofty goal of losing 100 lbs,, when she arrives home, the first thing she does is dig into unhealthy foods and overeat.

Because of her “expectations” that feeling of disappointment overtakes her logistical thinking about weight loss. She gained five pounds back of the ten pounds lost within a week. This happens due to failed expectations and setting a goal way above a more reasonable one. She feels hopeless, (yes, another emotion), and is now disappointed in herself about losing her job, and regaining the weight. We can continue to feel this way for a lifetime. Why? Our goals are too lofty and our expectations in others, (we don’t control other people), too much. Failed expectations also come from assumptions rather than getting answers to clarify expectations with ourselves and others.

Expectations with others is the second reason we feel disappointed. It is sad and I have had to realize myself time and time again, we simply do not control others and their actions. Thinking in any way that we can or do, results in failed expectations.

What expectations do you have in yourself that will result in disappointment from outside circumstances? I want us all to think about this. Often, when we feel disappointed in others by getting to the root cause of our reason we are actually disappointed in ourselves. How do we change what we do expect from ourselves and others? First, we set goals that are reasonable. Losing 100 pounds is not impossible but must be done in increments, setting smaller goals throughout to achieve the end results. We also should prepare ourselves that we may fall from grace by our own expectations. When setting any kind of goal, be realistic. If it is too lofty, break your gaol up into reasonable, smaller goals. The end result is likely to be successful.

We should always set goals for ourselves within reaching distance. This means goal setting that is realistic and accomplished with small goals over time. Our disappointment in others results from a false illusion we can control others actions. We can’t and we need to stop wasting our time trying to.

We all feel disappointed in ourselves from time to time. Ask yourself the following questions today and leave me a comment in the “join the discussion” area beneath the post. Are the expectations you set for yourself too lofty? Are you controlled by emotion? What can we do to stop feeling so disappointed?

Again, I have given you additional questions I want to hear your ideas about. Do you agree with this post or disagree? If you have a thought or idea that will help us cope with our disappointments in ourselves or others, that is greatly appreciated.

FDLS AKA, FUNDAMENTAL CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS, BROKE AWAY FROM THE MORMON CHURCH WITH WARREN JEFFS AS LEADER. THE FDLS HAS AS MANY AS 10,000 MEMBERS, MOST OF WHO ARE LIVING OUT OF ARIZONA CITY, ARIZONA.

THE FIRST FACT ABOUT THE FDLS IS THEY BELIEVE IN POLYGAMY. HOW THEY JUSTIFY THIS THROUGH THEIR FOUNDER’S PRINCIPLES WITH LOREN C. WOOLLEY WHO STARTED THIS SPINOFF OF THE MORMON CHURCH IN 1929. IN 1935, THE MORMON CHURCH FORMALLY DENOUNCED POLYGAMY IN 1935, THE MORMON CHURCH ASKED OTHER MORMON’S BELIEVING IN POLYGAMY TO SIGN A STATEMENT DENOUNCING POLYGAMY ALSO KNOWN AS MARRIAGES TO MULTIPLE PARTNERS AS THE SAME TIME. THE MEMBERS AT THAT TIME WHO DIDN’T AGREE TO SIGN THIS DOCUMENT, BEGAN TO FOLLOW THE FOUNDER AND EVENTUALLY THE LEADER, WARREN JEFF’S BELIEFS.

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE FDLS IS THEY REGARD THEIR LEADER AS A FORMAL PROPHET. FIVE MEN, HOWEVER INITIALLY SET UP THE STRUCTURE OF THE FDLS CHURCH IN THE 1930’S. THIS LOCATION WAS INITIALLY BETWEEN THE ARIZONA AND UTAH BORDER AFTER THE MORMON CHURCH EXCOMMUNICATED MEMBERS WHO WOULD NOT SIGN THE AGREEMENT TO DENOUNCE POLYGAMY.

THERE IS ONE THING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MORMON CHURCH IN GENERAL. THEY BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST WAS A PROPHET, BUT NOT THE ONLY PROPHET. THEIR LEADER IS ALSO CONSIDERED A PROPHET. THERE IS ALSO THE TEACHINGS OF JOSEPH SMITH, ONE OF THE INITIAL FIVE MEN WHO FOUNDED THE CHURCH. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN “ADDITION” TO THE BIBLE WHICH ALL MORMONS BELIEVE THE TEACHINGS OF.

FDLS HAS CERTAIN RULES ABOUT THEIR CULTIST RADICAL MOVEMENT. A MAN “MUST” MARRY THREE WIVES TO BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH IT’S BELIEFS. CHILD BRIDES WERE ALSO CONSIDERED NOT OFF LIMITS TO THE FDLS. THESE INDIVIDUALS BASICALLY OVER THE YEARS COLONIZED THEMSELVES, FOLLOWING WARREN JEFF’S ORDERS OVER MANY YEARS. THE FDLS HAS THEIR OWN SCHOOLS TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN IN. THERE IS A STRINGENT DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN WHO ARE PART OF THIS CHURCH.

THE STATE OF UTAH HAS RECENTLY CHANGED THE LAW ON POLYGAMY, MAKING IN A MINOR OFFENSE INSTEAD OF A THIRD DEGREE FELONY JUST THIS YEAR, 2020. THIS IS ITSELF IS HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AS I BELIEVE ONCE WE BLUR ONE WAY WE BELIEVE, IT BECOMES EASIER TO BLUR THE NEXT RULE MOST CHRISTIANS INTINCTUALLY FOLLOW.

WARREN JEFFS EVENTUALLY WAS ARRESTED, RECEIVING A LIFE SENTENCE FOR HIS ABUSE OF CHILDREN AS MULTIPLE BRIDES. HE STEPPED ASIDE FROM FDLS BUT MEMBERS OF THE FDLS STILL REGARD HIM AS A PROPHET. THE BIBLE STATES WE HAVE JUST ONE PROPHET, JESUS CHRIST. MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THIS. MORMONS DO NOT.

WARREN JEFFS WAS PLACED ON THE FBI’S MOST WANTED LIST IN 2006. HE WAS CAPTURED IN AUGUST OF 2006 AND INDICTED ON CHARGES OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WITH A MINOR, AND CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WITH A MINOR. HE THEN FACED TWO COUNTS OF RAPE AFTER ARRANGING A MARRIAGE BETWEEN A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND HER 19-YEAR-OLD COUSIN IN 2005. VARIOUS FAMILY MEMBERS OF JEFFS INCLUDING HIS OWN CHILDREN STATED WARREN JEFFS SEXUALLY MOLESTED THEM. JEFFS HAD HIS WIVES KEEP MATICILOUS RECORDS, AND ALSO MADE ACTUAL RECORDINGS OF HIS ACTIVITIES WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE OF ALL.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS CULT, CONSIDER WATCHING, “PROPHET OF EVIL” WHICH APPEARED FIRST IN 2018 ON A&E TELEVISION NETWORKS. JEFFS IS CURRENTLY SERVING OUT HIS SENTENCE IN A PRISON IN TEXAS AFTER REPRESENTING HIMSELF WITH A WEAK DEFENSE.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING…COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! TO LEAVE A COMMENT OR POEM ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE JUST READ, SCROLL DOWN BENEATH THIS ARTICLE WHERE IS SAYS, “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”. LAST BUT NOT LEAST IN GENERAL, IT IS EASY TO GET LOST IN LIFE AND BEGIN FOLLOWING THE WRONG DOCTRINE. ALWAYS BE VIGILANT IN YOUR ACTIONS AND FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR MISTAKES. WE ARE, AFTER ALL, HUMAN BEINGS, NOT PROPHETS. SAMANTHA LEBOEUF
