There's some information about intuition that is not being told in mbti community. God gave everyone intuition for a reason. It's hidden knowledge and creativity that God gives us. Intuition is also given us aso a guide to our higher self's and spirituality. Our intuition is a guidance to what's right or what's wrong, to give us warning signals when something is off, to give us information from God, to guide us to higher levels of awareness, to help our spirit to become awaken, and to connect more into the spiritual realm than physical realm.

The mbti website makes being a sensor (not listening to your intuition) sound normal. It's not normal to be a sensor. Sensing forcus on physical realm with our five senses rather than going spiritual by listening to our intuition(our six sense) . The physical realm is really just a illusion we are really spirits in a school to learn life lessons and to become like God.

(Se) which is Sensing Extrovert being overly attached to physical realm and physical pleasures like sports, games, inappropriate behavior is the lower self. The Adventurers types ESFP, ESTP, ISFP, and ISTP are too attached to physical realm and physical pleasures with low (Ni) which is to help us go to our higher self's and spirituality.

(Si) which is Sensing Introvert with low (Ne) is being less acceptable to new ways of thinking , change for God's kingdom and new things. The Sentinels types ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, and ISTJ are closed minded for newer ways of thinking and doing things with low (Ne) which is to help us be opened minded for new things and change God wants

(Ni) is intuition that is inside of us as a guidance to higher self, spiritual awakening and God.

(Ne) is open-mindeness so we'll be accepting to new ways of thinking and change so we'll be opened to God's new kingdom

The Adventurers with high (Se) and low (Ni) is the lower self. God didn't put us on this earth to be overly attached to physicality and play all day. This world and universe is a school for our spirits to learn and go higher levels of awakenings and consciousness. When we forcus to much on physical realm we are ignoring our real reason why we are here. We are here to become like our father (God) .

The Sentinels with high (Si) and low (Ne) is rejecting newer ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom we can't stay in our old ways. Our minds have to be renewed and opened to new things and new ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom he's going to make everything new and want people to be renewed in our thinking so we become new creatures.

One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Killing our intuition is a crime towards God and we can get into trouble. If we become darker and eventually end up killing our intuition we are setting up ourselves for death spirituality. Try keeping your intuition alive as it helps keeps you alive spirituality.

In the mbti community they took God out of the meaning of intuition and made it like a mysterious magical thing that pops out of nowhere. God gave everyone intuition as a guide to awaken the spirit. Introvert intuition(Ni) is the self-accusing spirit that is inside of all of us in hopes we listen to it to awaken the spirit. The more we listen to it the stronger the voice becomes and the more awakened we become spirituality.

The mbti community made it seem like it's normal for us to ignore our (Ni) so we can stay asleep and be dead spirituality. It's not normal for us to ignore our (Ni) it's the inner guidance for spiritual awakening, God, and higher self. (Ni) is not only just a gut feeling that warns us when to stay away from trouble it's also our self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong and gives us guilt when we do something bad.

When we do evil and feel guilty about it that's our (Ni) talking to us and it shows we are spiritually awake but when you can do evil and feel nothing that's a sign of lack of (Ni) and spiritual blindness/death.

I noticed there are a lot of fake intuitives in the mbti community. People think being a "intuitive" makes them special because they "choose" to listen to their intuition. Everyone has intuition. Intuition is not only for a few people or small group of people. Everyone has it. Intuition is listening to our nature we were created/self-accusing spirit in hopes we come back to our nature which is obedience to God. Our nature is to be righteous and submission to God. Listening to your intuition doesn't make you better than other people.

Some fake intuitives only want to listen to their intuition so they can feel special and smarter than others. That's not what intuition was made for. Intuition was made to awaken the spirit so we can become God and reach higher levels of awareness. It seems like most "intuitives" only wanted to listen to their intuition for negative purposes and to make themselves feel special. Being a "intuitive" doesn't mean being interested/studying in science, computer programming, abstract conversations, meaningful conversations and etc.

A real "intuitive" is someone who is in complete submission to God. When you submit yourself to God your self-accusing spirit/intuition becomes stronger and your spirit will be wide awake.

Intuitives can also lose their intuition and become sensors. When we become dark and evil our intuition gets weaker and we lose our creative powers. The darker we become our intuition gets weaker and if dark enough we could end up also killing our intuition. God doesn't give intuition to the wicked and the rebellious . Intuition is for the righteous and was made to keep us spiritually awake. When someone ignores their intuition or becomes dark they go into sensor mode which is spiritual blindness.

When we become evil and in rebellion towards God we lose

1. (Ni) which is to help keep us spiritually awake. Losing (Ni) causes spiritual blindness and keeps our spirits asleep and dead
2. (Ne) which is to help us be opened-minded to God's new ways of thinking. Losing (Ne) causes us to lose our creative powers and become rejectful of God's new thinking

There are a lot of fake INFJs, INTJs, ENTPs, ENFPs, etc. INFJs/INTJs with (Ni) as their dominate function means they should have a strong self-accusing spirit and should be spirituality awake. If you see a INFJ/ENFJ/ENTJ/INTJ that can do evil and feel nothing or in rebellion towards God that's a sign they completely lost their (Ni) and they are no longer an INFJ they are a sensor(spiritual blindness). When we disconnect ourselves from God or in rebellion we lose (Ni) or it gets weaken. Listening to (Ni) Is listening to the nature of ourselves (self-accusing spirit) which is obedience to God

Same thing that there are a lot of fake ENTPs, INTPs, INFPs and ENFPs claiming they have (Ne) as their dominate function. When we are in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

There are a lot of fake intuitives that would act like the type, so called claim they are "trying" to listen to their intuition for negative purposes, and study abstract ideas just so they have feel special and have a title of being smart. The one's who think just because they "choose" to listen to their intuition that they are better than other people are really sensors and fake. God does not like proud and arrogant people. When we become arrogant we shut off knowledge and lose (Ne) and (Ni) . If we want a strong intuition we must be humble and submit to God . God doesn't give intuition to the proud, arrogant, and rebellious people

The N > S is better is really silly and foolish. Intuitives think just because they have more knowledge and so called "trying" to listen to their intituion are better. Sensors can gain strong intuition too and become intuitives too if they choose to submit to God and finally listen to their intuition. One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Not listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Anyone can become great and smart when they choose to listen to their intuition. God wouldn't make only a few people "special" and leave the rest out. Then it would make God unfair and unjust. Anybody can become smart, great, have creative powers, and do great things because everyone has intuition. God gave everyone intuition not only a small group of people. Any sensor can become great and intuitive if they choose to listen to their intuition. God wants all of his children to become great and intuitive. He wouldn't favor only a few people and leave rest of his children out

We are not supposed to listen to our intuition just to get a special title type, to feel superior, to feel smater than others, to feel special, and for many other negative purposes. We listen to our intuition to become one with God, come back to him and become spirituality awaken. The Inuitives that are arrogant, proud, rebellious towards God, evil and dark are not inuitives they are fake. They just want a title(N type) to feel special and superior to others. Intuition comes from God. The creative ideas, the gut feeling, the hidden knowledge all comes from God. When we disconnect ourselves from God and in rebellion towards him we lose our powers/intuition. The "real" intuitives are the righteous and ones who are in submission to the will of God.

There are a lot of fake physics, fake coming up with ideas, and fake "i have a strong intuition" in the mbti community. People think being good at science, history, computer programming = having a strong intuition. That's not intuition it's just you being good at a topic or subject. And fake physics that are evil and in rebellion towards God are not physics they are just using witchcraft. Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition it's satantic. There's a lot of so-called "i found the hidden meanings" in the community. Their so called "getting hIdden information" are coming from fallen angels/demons they are not getting it from God nor their intuition. The so-called "I'm coming up with all these ideas " If they are evil and in rebellion towards God those "ideas" did not came from their intuition it was stolen. When we are evil and in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition. Studying science/abstract stuff and being good at a scientific subjects is not intuition. Stealing other people ideas and claiming it as yours is not intuition. Being spiritual, growing in stages of spiritual growth and being in submission to God is intuition.

It seems like everyone want a strong intuition but you can't have a strong intuition if you are evil or in rebellion towards God. To get a strong intuition we have to connect ourselves with God and go up levels of self spiritual development. The more we connect ourselves with God and develop our spirits the stronger our intuition becomes. The more we disconnect ourselves from God and not develop our spirits the weaker our intuition becomes.

Do not try to listen to your intuition for the purpose of wanting to feel superior to others or feel special. God wouldn't only make a few people special and leave the rest of his children out. God is just and treats all of his children equal. People in the mbti only want a strong intuition only so they can brag about it and feel special. God does not give people a strong intuition if they are proud, arrogant and only want to listen to it for selfish/negative intentions.

The definition of intuition had been oversimplified to just "gut feeling" and "coming up with idea's". Intuition is more than just " gut feeling " and "coming up with idea's" . Intuition is the self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong, it's our key to spiritual awakening, to help us see things clearer(coming out of spiritual blindness), and to help connect ourselves to God. God had been completely taken out of the definition of intuition and been limited to just listening to your gut and coming up with ideas. Listening to your gut and coming up with new ideas is just the basic levels of intuition. There are higher levels of intuition. The more our spirit is developed and more we connect ourselves to God our intuition gets stronger and we grow into higher levels of intuition. When we go into higher levels of intuition we start seeing things brigher, clearer and grow into more self-awarness. The more when we don't develop our spirit and disconnect from God the more our intuition gets weaker and we come into spiritual blindness and don't see things clearly.

There are a couple of agents and fake intuitives in the mbti community. The ones that would say "it's okay to be a sensor" , "being a sensor is fine" or "everyone is just different. When someone chooses to ignore their intuition" are agents and snakes that what you to stay into spiritual blindness. They don't want you to wake up to what's really going on and want to keep you in the dark.

The mbti community took God out of intuition and made it a "how we see the world" or intuition is a "cognitive function". I could tell the people who made the mbti website are atheism because they are deceiving a lot of people and don't want people to wake up on what's really going on. They hide the true meaning of intuition because they want everyone to stay asleep and be dead spirituality. The post is not a religion thing it's to get people to wake up spirituality. Submitting to God is not a religion it's a way of life and our nature

I'm trying to find the which superpower type that can be given to INTJ(Im also INTJ myself on the other hand). and I found this test. I don't come to Reddit often, and I'm not sure if you guys are interested in different types of typology tests, but it seems like asking about superhero types is something new.. But the names of the results are a bit unique.. . https://m.site.naver.com/1mRvf

According to MBTI typology, any types with "NF" has high sense of idealistic thinking. I wonder what sypuperpower types would you get?

Mine is by the way "House Fairy Summoner"

You could argue INFPs because they are introverted and have the nickname "the dreamer."

You could argue ENFPs because they have inferior Si function and because N-dom is more detached than F-dom is.

There is no border crisis. There is only a political game. Stop using refugees as political pawns and do something to FIX THE PROBLEM. It's not rocket science. A little love saves one family easily. ALLSAFE A working solution!

In the USA, a country with more than a million religious and charitable tax exempt organizations, why has no one thought to unite the believers to welcome the strangers? It's a theme in all religions.

Let one congregation take one family. One family is not a crime wave or a threat. Let the people gather resources. Find work for the newcomers or help them start a business. Offer help with learning languages. Get the kids enrolled in schools, sports, scouts. Make the strangers safe and welcome in a new place. Weave them into the community.

One family. If each religious group would take one family, there would be no busloads. There would be no immigrant ghettos that foster poverty and crime. Can anyone reach a leader who can get this organized? Mayor? Vice President? Cardinal? Rabbi? No one will listen to just one voice. Please tell others.

Refugees are human beings. In America, we welcome decent people who are looking for a better life. Who better to have as a neighbor.

Not the BS of a busload of strangers disturbing the way of life we fought so hard to build, but one family who wants to share in the security that America can provide.

Neighbors helping neighbors. That's what made America great and that's what will solve our problems.

I believe INFPs are known for being optimistic and seeing the light in every dark situation. For me, this is not the case. I am very pessimistic. My depression and anxiety may have something to do with this, but I am not sure.

I just want to know about you guys if there is a remarkable change from you being a young INFJ developing to a mature INFJ.

I was just thinking, what have you changed about yourself and improved, if ever you were able to do that?

Would you be in support of laws that mandate slow traffic move right on all highways and freeways (in left lane only, with exception to left lane exits)? Anyone seen with a line of cars behind them will be issued a citation for disruption of the flow of traffic, and possibly even after multiple offenses suspension of their license. I personally would probably advocating for increasing the speed limits slightly as well, modern cars are much safer and can stop well earlier then any car could when the current limits were set, this could include creating a speed window of 10/15 mph on all freeways and major highways. Including something about people cutting in at the last second, to an exit and forcing 2 lanes to slow down and giving them a hefty ticket because it does increase the probability of an accident which further screws traffic.

Would you be willing to allow the government to subsidize your living expenses while you work essentially for free?

Only for one fiscal year.

Your check would be forwarded to the government.

Nationwide moratorium on rent/mortgages.

Reasonably stock up on groceries by simply filling your grocery cart. 2 carts full per month, per household.

Amusement Parks, Theaters, and other Leisure or Recreational Facilities open to the public, courtesy of Uncle Sam.

No travel outside of the US for one year.

All able-bodied adults aged 18 - 65 are required to work 40 hours per week.

No checks.

National Debt Gone!

The Government is gonna start to act on behalf of the people, as opposed to against them in the interest of business.

This is PURELY idealism. I know it can never happen, but would you?!

People say that money has no meaning, but I disagree. Money can buy anything - it can buy a home and a car, it can serve as an investment and a good investment at that! And how many years do you think they will last? If you want them to last long enough, then use them well so that they will be able to give you value in the future!

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question but i need some career ideas as I'm looking at unis atm and my list is way too long lol

For extra info I'm an ENFP 2w3!

Idea time: if "unbreakable glass" is unbreakable how come it cant stop a minigun?

Hello, Fellow Idealists,

This is my first post on reddit as I am literally desperate to make a decision. I am usually an online lurker(always stay hidden on social media).

Why is it so difficult for us Idealists to make decisions about what to do with life?

I have been indecisive for more than 2 years in regards to choosing a career path for me. Whenever I have to make an important decision, I feel like I will be closing doors to new possibilities... I procrastinate because of this. I am a 24 year old Computer Engineering graduate.

I'm struggling to choose between

1. A career (changing careers) that comes easy to me like a Psychologist, Therapist or Nutritionist. In this case, I'll be stuck in my city/country feeling like a fish in a pond, when there's a ocean outside.
2. A career (containing same field) in Computer Engineering/IT, which isn't fulfilling to me. But I would get to work and live outside my country and explore different cities / countries. In this case, I feel like work is stressful for me, but I get the perks of moving abroad.

I am unable to make a decision and it is so frustrating!

Most kids wanna be President when they grow up. I grew up, but I'd rather be a Dictator. They usually get a bad rap but I'd use my powers for Good. Id steal the only good thing to come from President trump's mouth- Make America Great- as my slogan. Not "again", because earlier it was built on slavery and plastic.

First Dictation: Make voting a requirement. It will be done every year with taxes. This means it will be every citizens duty to be informed. Therefore, community centers will then be allocated/created for every city, to reflect the state of its city, county, state and country. But first, we illegalize gerrymandering. And speaking of taxes, i may do away with income tax. Since the rich are obviously good at loopholing out of that one, ill create a universal sales tax. No one goes through life without buying something, the rich and poor alike. Not sure on this one yet, ill need to confer with my Knights of the Roundtable

2nd- Create my Knights of the Roundtable discussion group. Just like in the movies when some armageddon is coming, the president calls in the greatest minds of the their fields. This will be my thinktank; top economists, scientists, psychologists etc. We will come up with a few working models for the best possible society and implement them either wholly or in individual cities, counties or states as test runs. For example, washington allowing all drugs to be legal. Sure, lets see how this goes and use the results to implement it nationwide.

3rd- Speaking of drugs- All marijuana crimes dropped, It is now federally legal, as well as the growth of hemp , which we will use to make TONS of products. Most hallucinatory drugs will also be federally legal, but to be used in allocated/directed manners. Like getting a license to drive, one must obtain licensure for hallucinatory exploration. People are taught HOW to use it responsibly. Which brings us to education

4th- Free education! and child care and 5th- Free Healthcare Lets face it, its not free, it comes from taxes, do a quick study and youll find the countries with the highest taxes have government programs that actually work. In regards to education, teachers will be paid more, it will be among the top of our priorities as a country to foster the minds of a smarter civilization. The entire country will go through education reform. We'll probably have every state do a few years of "testing" the best possible education reform. This is where thinktank can turn to sub thinktank- educators - to come up with a few models. Obviously more focused on teaching people critical thinking, not just facts and dates. History books will all be redone to show the whole picture, not slanted. Educational weight and opportunity will NOT be thrown out if viewed unconventional. Kids are going to be learning how to meditate, hospitals and doctors will implement a holistic approach to health..

There is simply no reason for one of the richest countries to not have complete healthcare. This then brings us to big Pharma, i'm not sure on the details here, but generally speaking they will be dealt with in a similar manner as big tobacco. Most likely banned, and completely reformed. As a dictator, Id like to just illegalize cigarettes, and only allow the sale of ORGANIC natural tobacco.

6th- Housing There is also no reason for anybody to be homeless. We revamp our wages/housing ratio. Also not sure of the details (I didn't say i had ALL the answers- that's what the Roundtable is for), but we will go back to there being a close ratio as there was prior to 1972. When having any decent job paid for housing. And while we're at it, we are only working 4 days a week. And having this daily work as OPTIONAL will be something we will be testing in a few states as well.

7th- Required Military Ok I know im starting to step of your "freedom toes" but hear me out. Many countries implement this. It is usually only 2 years. And it doesn't mean you will be in combat. It means every citizen will know how to deal with emergency situations like an attack, know how to group and work together and what to do when something does happen. Every citizen keeps their rifle to take home. Every citizen has a rifle in the home, knows how to use it properly, and how to be responsible with it because THEY WERE TAUGHT. They will learn basic medical, basic training, basic navigation etc. Also, as of right now, every vet has free healthcare for life. So universal healthcare CAN happen

8th- Police and Prison Reform Our prisons are rape cages. They do not fix the problem, in fact, they only exacerbate the problem further while costing us tons of money. If we're spending money on it, then shit better be improving!! We're using tons of psych professionals and actually focusing on rehabilitation. Dont worry, this problem will mostly be gone by the time the newer generation of happier, stress-free, well-educated citizens whose parents were around because they only had to work 4 days a week if they wanted to. Not too many details for prison reform so we will see what the test run results show us from different states. All public servants such as police, firefighters, teachers are all getting paid more.

9th-Food Why the F**K are we still allowing the consumption of GMO's? All of europe banned it, and India but its totally fine for us?!! Even China banned GMO's. China!! They have an entire aisle in the grocery store dedicated to MSG, and even they were like, nah we aint messing with our foods. Yea thats not happening anymore, in fact, any tampering or poisoning of our food and FOOD SOURCE (seeds) will be seen as treason. No you cannot own the intellectual property of seeds anymore. The FDA gets reformed as well, which ties us in with big pharma reform. Amounts of preservatives will be marginalized. Grow the plant based foods culture, because that is obviously more sustainable. More plant based fast food restaurants. I may bring back the Freedom Garden. look it up. So most people will be growing something anyway. More public trees in every park will be fruit bearing.

10th- Clean up our politicians I immediately fire ALL corrupt politicians. Any bills to be made, if unnecessarily long, containing unrelated clauses, etc., will be seen as obstructing the furtherment of law. Campaigns are financially capped. Super PAC's are no longer a thing, and any HINT of money between corporations and politicians will no longer exist. Politics is now 100% transparent. I myself will be televised throughout the day, and only when national security is at risk will doors be closed to the public. You turn on a free channel, say channel 2, and can watch all day long the Pres...Ahem...Dictator. Kinda like a boring reality tv show. But at the end of the day ill take some phone calls from the people to address some concerns. And it will be addressed in the next round table meeting Disinformation will be illegalized, so a few newspapers might go out of business. We might have a government newspaper so citizens know exactly whats going on.

11th- Corporate Honor- This one is a bit tough in a Capitalistic democracy Using our existing law as to the definition of a corporation as a single entity (legally a person), all corporations not on board with the betterment of our citizens are tried as persons; insane or with manslaughter, etc. and are then forfeited to the country. Any corporation attempting to move outside the country, all involved will be charged with treason, and even if they successfully do leave the country, their product/service is banned in our and our allied countries. No more planned obsolescence in products, or the general practice of creating customers' continuity by a similar tactic (Ie, big pharma making money on people still being sick- cancer for example) McDonalds isn't allowed to sell unhealthy crap. Otherwise it will be charged with the attempted murder of citizens by way of heart disease. And I may just allow coke to go back to the original recipe, but they and all soda manufacturers need to recreate themselves Any corporation based here not adhering to these laws in other countries, for example environmental stewardship, will also be accountable

12th- The environment Plastic is banned. Everywhere. I also get our allies to do the same. WE no longer go to war for politcal gain but we will for some other country messin with our mother.... mother earth. Plastics will henceforth only be allowed to made if biodegradable. We already have the tech, so im not shutting down any plastic companies, but they change their entire model to fit with our environment or they fail.

Intellectual property Not sure how to proceed on this one, but I think all intellectual property should be free. Ok, maybe give the creator a chance to make some money from it, but all should be easily accessible. After all we will be fostering a mentality of - "for the betterment of mankind"

My dictatorship will end once this has all been accomplished, and the citizens allowed to vote for the next candidate.

About 30 countries have universal healthcare. About 25 counties have banned GMO About 7 Countries have free education Mexicos president used to answer calls from the people on tv Several countries have banned plastic bags In almost all of eastern europe, most people own their houses outright New Zealand now has a 4 day work week

Most of what is described above is already being implemented by the cold countries: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland, which incidentally all score the highest Democracy Index, along with New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Canada,

utopia is a fiction, but compared to how we live now, the above would be described as utopian, and it actually exists.

I've taken the Myers-Briggs test multiple times and I have gotten different results at different times. My original results were INTP, but then later I got INFP, then later I got INTP... and then INFP... and so on.

Granted, recently my results seem to tend towards INFP more, so if I had to choose, I could pretty confidently call myself an INFP, but it's strange because I feel like there's inconsistency in my personality.

In general, I consider myself a "rational" person, insofar as I evaluate propositions on the basis that they are logically sound, as opposed to whether or not they are comforting or sound nice. I really I hope that I don't come off as pompous or self-absorbed by saying that, I just don't really know how else to put it.

But while I would say I have a fairly methodical mind (my God, I sound like a pompous asshole by saying that, I am so so sorry), I feel like my actions are informed by feeling and I also daydream A LOT.

I think one of the best examples of this dichotomy in my life is my attitude towards the Myers-Briggs test itself. I'm honestly pretty skeptical of it, and I don't think it's very "scientific" whatsoever (which is the same reason I don't believe in horoscopes), and yet despite not really "believing" in it so to speak, I find great joy in the whole typology of it. I always am looking up which people are also INFP, and I love to take those god-awful personality tests from 11 years ago that tell you things like which Shakespeare character you are (which I think also demonstrates how impressionable I am, because I always take different ones until I get the result that feels right).

I act on feeling but always informed by reason. For example, I would say that I am for the most part very empathetic but that's largely informed by the fact that I don't believe in free will.

In the end, I am who I am. I'm the template, not the mould. But nonetheless, I wanted to hear what someone else may have to say.

Have a lovely day and again I apologize if I sounded like a narcissistic prick haha :)

Because of "the Corona" we have been at home for a long time. Or so it seems. People complain, a lot of freedom has been taken away from them. The longer it takes, the more difficult it gets. Last week, yes they do exist, I attended a workshop 'Mentally fit during Corona'. Subjects such as energy givers, energy guzzlers and the importance of balance were discussed in detail. Not much news under the sun, because it had actually been clear to me for years that certain things, activities gave me energy and that some things simply cost me a lot of energy. Giving training, being able to work with enthusiastic volleyball players gave me a lot of energy. The role as team leader of the selection teams at the football club was also really fantastic to do. Making sure that everything around the team ran smoothly, that the boys could enjoy their sport, working together with equally enthusiastic parents, that gave me energy. Chairing meetings with a lot of discussion and people who only bother me, I dreaded that and it always cost me a lot of energy. A balance between the two is nice. Suppose I had a lot of those meetings, always with those difficult, difficult people, I wouldn't last long. Conversely, just having activities on your agenda that give you a lot of energy is also quite tiring. Until recently I thought it was nice if people were involved and passionate. Involved in their work, in what they do, I always thought that inspired people were really nice, pleasant to work with. Heart for the business. I now know, through damage and shame, that the line with too involved and passionate is very, very vague. People who really only know activities that give them energy must still, at some point, feel the need to take a break. I traveled back and forth to The Hague for almost two years. My alarm went off at 4 a.m. every day and often I wasn't home until 11 p.m. and I don't complain. I enjoyed it. The work was fun, I had really great colleagues, but I ended up in hospital at the end of February. My body had hit the brakes hard. I had pushed my own boundaries very hard. So hard, in fact, that I hadn't realized I was crossing the border. To be inspired and involved. Whatever happens, there will come a moment when you will be called back.

Blowout

However, what I had never heard of until last week was the term energy leak. A blowout that completely deflates you, so that you lose all your energy in one go. This can be a situation, but it can also be a person or persons. During this workshop, after a presentation about energy givers and energy guzzlers, we had to try in pairs to find out what was everyone's energy leak. It turned out that I am completely fed up with people who complain, people who find everything difficult, difficult and complicated and cannot show patience for the moment when there may be better opportunities and possibilities.

Now I sometimes run into those people and to fix every flat tire now is an enormous amount of work. Everyone could imagine that a blowout cannot actually be repaired. Is the best tip to make sure that your tire does not get punctured? There are those tires that cannot be punctured. So do you have to take care of enough calluses on your soul?

I can tolerate a bit of complaining, whining. In fact, it sometimes also gives a kind of togetherness. When I cycled to work through the pouring rain and I come in soaked, it is nice that I am not the only one, that there are more people who come in sideways wet and it is nice to complain that together . It has to end somewhere. Someone who constantly complains is disastrous for teams, but also for individuals. See also my blowout. People who complain a lot are more often sick, often get in their own way and drag others along. I notice that I certainly get carried away by this. For me it is important to realize that complainants are passionate people, people with a heart for the cause. There are also people who have long since dropped out, who no longer participate, who think along and are perhaps more risky for the club

“Is there nothing good at all? “
"Is everything difficult and complicated?"
“Isn't that really a solution? “

As I mentioned, really complaining makes sense. Therefore, do not just cut off a complainant. Complainants often do not think that they are complaining at all. Others complain. This is also called the complaining paradox. All those Americans who are now complaining about the course of the elections really don't think they are complaining. Their truth is the truth and let's just say something against it. Some tactical ingenuity in this is useful. Being bluntly lost that the other is nagging is not really helpful. It's like Judo. It is wise to show understanding, to bend, to mirror, sometimes literally repeating what the complainant has said, without making a fool of him. Also try to investigate what you agree with the complainant about. What positive elements do you agree on? Try to put a positive spin on the conversation. This is not easy yet. People who complain a lot are often dominant, extroverted people. However, if you have an agreement, if there are common positive points, you will continue on that. Try to break that negative pattern. That is actually just like judo.

No whining

In the meantime, we have decided to postpone our two-day youth tournament for next year by another year. We suspect that Covid will not be out of the country by then and that we will not all have been vaccinated sufficiently by then. We are now betting on 2022 for the start of our tournament. It was striking that there were no complaints during the meeting, nobody complained about the circumstances in which we find themselves. Special about this meeting, which was transported online by the way, was the conviction that we want to organize a very good and fun tournament. How nice it is to be part of this team!

Yesterday was the referendum in Catalonia. The government of the autonomous region wanted to ask its citizens how they viewed the declaration of the independent state of Catalonia. I must say that a referendum is to prevail over an armed struggle, as we have long known in that other autonomous region in Spain. The Spanish government thought otherwise. We know the result, hundreds injured, with the Prime Minister of Spain calling for proportional violence. Of course, the violence did not go wrong for the separatists. The Spanish government couldn't have worse PR. Rajoy seems to have overplayed his hand. The activist Podemos demanded that Rajoy resign immediately. They see him as the main responsible for the disturbances. The party also hopes that the Social Democrats will support a vote of no confidence against Rajoy. So everyone has their own political agenda. At first, Europe remained remarkably calm, until, at the forefront of Timmermans, they expressed their support for the Spanish government. That is not very strange either, because many countries in Europe do have a territory that, like Catalonia, would like to secede. For example, Lega Nord has been striving for an independent Padania for years. Would the Venetians gladly restore the Doge's empire? Do many Flemish people want to continue independently without the Walloons? The Brexit referendum was the moment for the Scots to set up a referendum in which the secession of England would be proposed. In France, the Corsicans want to break free from France since time immemorial, and yes, there are also people in Friesland who want border posts on the Afsluitdijk. I forget, for the sake of convenience, the Basques because it was just less hectic there, but the goal of the Eta was of course also an independent Basque country. That will also be the reason why Rajoy is taking such a hard line, because if the genie in Catalonia is completely out of the bottle, then the Basques could follow suit and then little remains of King Felipe's monarchy.

In June of last year I was nominated by the Standaard Boekhandel in Belgium with a blog about Europe. The Principle of cell division Using the principle of cell division, I tried to clarify my vision of Europe. Our body is not a large cell. We are made up of millions of cells. All these cells have a cell wall and a nucleus. Geographically and culturally, Europe consists of 51 countries. Of these, 28 are members of the EU. Europe is not a country, no matter how much some would like to see it that way. Europe is therefore not a country, however much we would like it to be. In fact, all those countries that together form the body of Europe, sometimes also consist of other more or less autonomous regions or regions striving for autonomy. All those autonomous and autonomous regions have a core, that why they strive for autonomy or are more or less autonomous. This often has a cultural and historical background. For example, the Basques speak a truly different language from the rest of Spain. The Scots too have a long history of battles with the English before they were incorporated into the English kingdom. Our body is made up of billions of cells that replace old and damaged cells through cell division. When something goes wrong in this cell division, cells are created that are less functional. We call this cancer cells. In addition to the specific complaints of its kind, cancer also has a more general clinical picture, including emaciation, fatigue and a reduced immune system. If we let this metaphor loose on the image of Europe. The countries are then the cells of the EU body. You could then speak of a proliferation of cells in many countries, because why are the Basque Country and Catalonia part of Spain? Has this always been the case historically? Why does Scotland belong to England? You could speak of incorrect cell division. There are cells that have grown out of proportion. You could continue the comparison with the incorrect cell division. As with the previously described clinical picture, you could argue that there is also a reduced immune system within the organ Europe. We get a lot on our plate in Europe. That is fine to deal with, but that is almost impossible to do within an organ that is already sick in itself. There is resistance and the resistance decreases even further.

What is the cure for this unguided, erroneous, cell division? Shouldn't we then grow in the body of Europe? Should we withdraw within our own borders, our own cell? I wouldn't think so. We grew because our cells continued to divide. There was a basic idea in this format, namely that the cells all had a cell wall, a cell nucleus and that they were more or less uniform. They could of course differ in detail, but that is also possible in Europe. I would therefore like to plead

A good friend of mine sighed that she was completely upset by the riot that had started around her dream star actor. Kevin Spacey is also immediately written from the House of Cards series. He will crash somewhere in an unknown distant land and never be found again. It is that simple. My favorite actor, Dustin Hofmann turned out not to be as ideal as I thought. Weinstein, I did not know the man, but turned out to be the winner and went before them and oh-yes Bill Cosby was there too. Laughed blue at the Cosby show, but that is now a kind of gylty pleasure. Do we know what Cosby has put in the coffee with others? After Strauss Kahn, some well-known leaders in the British lower house also turned out to fall from their pedestals. In Schaarsbergen, some managers thought that with a few new recruits they could do just about everything that came up in their brains, while they could also get away with it. What all these incidents have in common is that all these perpetrators felt that they could get away with it. No one dared to do anything about it, afraid of not being believed, afraid of their own career, afraid of everything. Perpetrators also sometimes literally said that they were not open to contradiction and that a complaint would not be good for the victim's career. Sometimes undesirable behavior is even discussed well afterwards. Psychologist Diekstra recently indicated on TV hat as far as he is concerned certain forms of maladaptive behavior are simply part of it. The fact that the military union now suddenly pleaded for the abolition of hazing in the army was so exaggerated. Yeah, because the army was supposed to make you real guys. No wimps running away from the front. It is the level of operational management from the time of the barge and peat cutters.

I think we people should be less on a pedestal. People are not infallible. If we place people on a pedestal less, they can also be addressed more easily and we see more quickly when things threaten to go wrong. History has long known what can happen when people are glorified, when they themselves begin to believe that they are superior. An iconoclasm avant la lettre

About two weeks ago, it was the weekend, I had a discussion on Twitter about the usefulness of an external counselor. I pleaded for the deployment of an independent, external, confidential counselor when, in the case of bullying in the workplace, the employer, the manager is the bully. I tried to explain in the discussion that an internal counselor is less independent and that you should even work with an external counselor on a system, comparable to the patient counselor within mental health care, where the external counselor is not paid directly. by the employer. I was overwhelmed with a lot and reactions from people who indicated that what I wrote was really nonsense were enthusiastically liked.

The tenor of the reactions and this you often encounter on social media was that society is no good, that we live in a snake pit and that the other person is by definition against you. From that fear, that suspicion, the superlative is automatically reached. A message is given a hashtag, so that you can find supporters even faster who react from the same fear and suspicion. Together you are stronger against that scary, fearful, outside world. Constructive reactions, where you even try your best to understand the fear, the suspicion, are not read, are not accepted. The world around us is no good. My neighbor, my colleague, my classmate, is scary and tries to get me behind my back. If that's your worldview, then salvation is also far away.

Can we get a documentary on Dr. Fauci that explains how hard his job is and what he’s had to do to get to his position?
