Making Decisions Under Pressure

[Sungio]

"Calmness also will facilitate spiritual faculties necessary to make better choices."

I really felt this when I read it.

Thank you High Priest Zevios Metathronos.

 

[TAHARQA]

Thank you, High Priest Zevios Metathronos, for consistently inspiring us all.

 

[Eudaimonia Aletheia]

Decidete solo quando:

1. Siete calmi
2. Potreste essere stressati, ma non in preda al panico
3. Quando avete intensità e sicurezza, ma non rabbia
4. Quando vi sentite per lo più sani di mente
5. Quando sapete qualcosa [approfondisci per decidere].

I will get these words tattoed on my skin, High Priest. Especially the points number 1 and 4.



Thank you for always publishing these sermons at the right time.

Thank you for always publishing these sermons at the right time.

Tattoo in your mind brother, I have done in mine and there are so many things that could have went a thousand times better if I could apply this let's say many decades ago. It's a relief to understand this and it improves your life directly when you do this. Blessings to you!

 

[Tethys333]

Thank you very much High Priest for this Sermon!
Unfortunately, anxiety, stress, panic, you name it, they also promote the approach of the enemy who decides to make a nuisance right at a time of a person's weakness, and I think this could lead a man to the wrong decisions also influenced by the enemy, I connect to how important protection is therefore.

Thank you, because it's very important to remember that all the choices we make now will go into creating what our future will then be. We are the creators of our destiny, everything depends on us and our choices.
It is important to be clear-headed in these moments

Again thank you High Priest for reminding us to pay attention to this. Sometimes we might forget how important this is

Thank you for this, it came just at the exact needed time!

Thank you High Priest Zevios Metathronos ! Be blessed

 

[Head Guardian Blitzkreig]

This is big advice, and for some people, they may feel a strong desire or need to act or think in response to what is disturbing them. However, because the judgement is being impaired, this leads to a negative outcome.

Many times I have felt that once I made time to first calm down about something, then the solution seemed to come very quickly soon after. Had I neglected to settle myself first, I would've made a lesser decision, or had less intelligent thoughts than I could have had.

So it is truly important that we recognize the rectification of our internal state as the first step of the process of solving our problem, rather than believing only once we solve the situation can we calm down.

Further, don't let anyone rush you in your decisions. Tell them you need time to think. Some people are impatient and will neglect or disrespect this, or in worse cases they may even want you to be pressured into a course of action that suits them more. This has to be defended against, as in many cases it can be simply idiotic to not think further on a topic.

 

[Lightningsnake]

Thank you.

In my current situation I need more knowledge and to overcome my fears on it.

 

[Kouros Aionios]

One integral advice I would like to share with everyone here. Following this has helped me a lot in my life. This is harder than it looks in practice, you will know after you read. But worth it.

Never, under no conditions, make major choices for your life when you are either:

1. Angry
2. Depressed
3. In panic
4. In lack of knowledge
5. Arrogantly overconfident

This is some great wisdom. You will usually regret these kinds of decisions one way or another. When you make decisions out of character, the decisions typically do not benefit your character and mostly damage it because they come from a lower place and lower emotions.

 

[Nikólaos666]

Thank you High Priest, I was in need of this kinf of sermon lately.

 

[SaqqaraNox [NG]]

This is truly what I needed. Thank you so much. How many times in my life have I ended up choosing the wrong decision simply because I wasn’t able to discern what was right. The reality we perceive is so heavily conditioned by ourselves: pain, lack of awareness, altered states of mind, and so on, all of these are filters that cloud our vision and prevent us from seeing clearly and making the right decision. Sometimes it happens that we manage to choose well even in those states of mind, but most of the time it’s just by chance.

These filters need to be removed before making a choice. Once removed, we become more aligned with reality and with the true state of things, and consequently the decisions we make are based on a much more accurate and reliable evaluation.

Thanks HPHC

Brilliant bro

 

[Astrid]

Thank you High Priest Zevios! This advice is very relevant to my life right now

I've become a much calmer person over time with meditation and I totally understand the benefits of this now, as I've healed a lot of mental distress. Sometimes I still feel pressured to act quickly, but overall making decisions in a calm state helps us to be more objective and honest with ourselves and what we truly need to go forward in the best way

 

[Akira666•Κασσάνδρα]

Thank you. The timing couldn't have been better, after this sermon. Sometimes the wire connecting the brain to the tongue is burned by anger, and you say things you don't mean or make choices you regret, and the only result is guilt.

 

[Darkspirit]

Very good advice, even we know some things like that we forgot to do it in the moment that happens, use all the tools for a better result.

 

[Darkspirit]

Brother HP I think that you are amazing!Thank you! For sharing this article.

We all think so for our dear HPHC, sister.

 

[Wotanwarrior]

I wish this sermon had come out sooner. Three years ago, I made a rash decision at the worst possible moment, and I was furious, depressed, panicking, and not really knowing what was going on.

If it were now, I wouldn't have sent her that damn email and ruined a friendship that extended far beyond this present life.
I have no idea if she still visits the forum.

 

[Aquarius]

Fortunately I kept this in mind during a moment of extreme anger. I was like: "I'm definitely not in the right state of mind to make such a bold decision". That decision I believe changed my future.

 

[SkeletonHands]

What great advise!!!! Thank you HP Zevios Metathronos!!!!!

Hail Zeus!
Hail Astaroth!
Hail Saloes!
Hail Leraji!
Hail Felix!
Hail the Gods and Goddess!!!!

 

[Apprentice]

Yet another carefully crafted piece that was missing from the puzzle.
I have always preferred to make informed decisions after evaluating all the pertinent information. Should really have listened to my inner voice more.
Thank You so much, High Priest.

 

[Pan_Shaman]

Thank you High Priest

 

[Hs666]

1. Angry
2. Depressed
3. In panic
4. In lack of knowledge
5. Arrogantly overconfident

This also includes states of euphoria and moments of happiness. This “state of mind” can also cause problems.

Finally I found the community once again. I'm suprised how Clergy and members changed themselves. Unfortunately....few aspects regresed drasticaly.
Mr. Cobra after few posts I read about your statements, theories I assumed something incomprehensible for my mind.

You VERY often post topics about what you currently struggle, it's visible in method how you try to explain the concept for others. It's oriented
to harvest attention, that brings you aid and sometimes the solution of a problem you currently have.

It's okay to use help of a community, because we often fall and the help we receive from our closest souls are sometimes necessary. BUT THERE IS ONE IMPORTANT "NODE"
The person who claim self masculine should try mostly relay on SELF, it's core of masculinity and if a man claim himself too much masculine as already are (because he using attention from others as a primary fuel) it makes him vulnerable and weak and it's visible in a lost of temper, insight malfuctions, weakened discipline and many many more.

Can you explain what's going on? You extremaly changed for years. YES, there are a lot of ups like better self confidence, but I think it went to far....

Oh, I remember you, the one with extreme hate toward the clergy. You always come back after being banned and in this case as the same as before, do not bother to make it less obvious who you are or what your true intentions are.

Can you explain why you have this obsession with this low-level manipulation?

 

[Ex-Translator]

Can you explain what's going on? You created your account just today and your first message is against the Temple of Zeus.

The last time this person got banned was when HPS Lydia called this person "demented". They literally are, because they follow the same script every time.

 

[Gerecht_Ror]

I love this Sermon, supportive, clear and straight to the point! Thanks for writing that.

There is, always, a reason for which a person is under emotional altered status.
This may be internal or external, in my experience it is very often internal.
Even the smallest action can change a life, bringing to a better state of mind, triggering emotional recover.
As per this Sermon, when someone is batter in terms of emotional status, the person will drive his/her life to a better direction.
Noone is alone here. This Sermon is the living proof af that.

 

[WhiteBoar]

As i'm going through strong depression this made me feel understood... thank you.

 

[Valeska]

This is exactly right. My worst life choices have always been in one or more of these states.

 

[MrAnderson666]

Greetings HP,

I normally would not respond here but can you please answer my message I sent you privately if you see this? It's time-sensitive and important. Thank you.

[Sakra]

The same is true to never invest with emotions, it's likely to not end well. Decisions are best made with strong fundamentals and facts.

Another lesson given to me was the importance of silence, there are just times when you have to figure out and articulate things yourself. The best solution is to prevent problems from happening in the first place, because gods forbid we try to live in an honest world free of bias, ignorance and ill assumption.
