Preamble
A mood is an essential ingredients of our daily life. It describes our responses or reactions to the daily happenings around our lives. It is the ‘tick-tuck’ of both the inner clock and outer one as it delivers one’s existence. A Mood colors the mind and project one’s actions and the reactions, manifestations, desires or decisions over issues- whether internally as a person or externally as a response to the environment. The mood of every native relates the way he sees and interprets every transmission of the daily existence as life offers the good, the bad and the ugly.
THE MOOD CHALLENGE
Moods are on going temporary flashes within, showing externally one’s posture and positioning relative to happenings. They are never isolated but related to a cause and a given effect. Many natives allow their moods to take over their lives as against just feeling and expressing it. Mood appreciation dynamics does not over emphasize the roles and its elements above self definition. Having one’s direction in the negative order just because of a mood you find yourself offers a misinterpreted scenario that reflects the way nature is percieved.
The good news is that the “touch” of nativity says “in good or bad moods, you are the one still in charge always and can dictate what happens to you as a consequence” It is one thing to dictect a mood and another to allow it dictate your moves….just like that. Every mood gives you the room to take a position given the various options open to you to do the needful.
