Psychology: Why do you want to be great?

Why do people become so powerful? Use evolutionary psychology to analyze this phenomenon:

1. Evolution is the driving force of human growth

If we look at it from a macro perspective, everything is evolving from subatomic to the entire galaxy. Looking back at the process of human development, human development is also an evolutionary history. From drilling wood for fire to later repairing houses, and the birth of modern urban life, human beings have constantly strengthened their skills and become more and more in the harsh living environment. Getting smarter and stronger.

It can be said that if we do not become more powerful, perhaps we are still staying in the ancient era of drilling wood for fire, becoming more powerful is the key to the continuous optimization and progress of the human brain, and it is also the key to our gradual becoming unique in the species. It allows us Being able to view reality from a higher dimension, especially in evolution, the unique thinking ability and creativity of human beings are also the key to mankind’s creation of today’s civilization. Without humanity’s endless progress, there would be no modern us.

It can be said that becoming better is what our ancestors have been doing, and they continued to preserve the derived ability and potential in the harsh environment.

2. If people do not evolve and become inferior, they will gradually degenerate

Second, we are a part of nature. Natural selection is the nature of nature, and in a sense, it is also the nature of human development. This means that we must continue to evolve. If we do not evolve, it means retrogression. Death.

Whether it is an individual or an organization, evolution is an essential phenomenon. Take modern business history as an example. We have seen many of the world’s top 500 collapses. To a large extent, they have been regressed in the long river of history because they have not kept pace with the times. This is also true for people. If we continue to work hard, we will not Become more powerful, then we are actually facing a kind of being eliminated by the times. Becoming powerful is the process of our human beings adapting to society. Once we fall behind the times, we will usually be punished in real life.

Just like what Zhang Quanling said not long ago, when the times abandoned you, they didn't even say a goodbye. The second meaning of becoming better is the need for our survival, and it is also the strengthening of our survival and competitiveness.

We have seen that the mid-life crisis discussed by many people is because we have not adapted to changes and have not kept up with the pace of the times. When we guard against outdated knowledge and do not want to make progress, we naturally fall in the wave of progress.

From this goal, humans must learn to evolve and make themselves excellent and powerful in order to prepare for a better future.

3. From a personal level, becoming great is also reshaping self-representation

Third, the need to become great is actually a manifestation of self-worth and a breakthrough in self-potentiality. Everyone has inertia, and becoming more powerful is a kind of progress for mankind to overcome self-instinct, and it is also a continuous exploration of self-potential. Just like every child loves Superman, in fact, it is precisely because of the greatness of Superpower that we aspire to and what we want to work towards.

Becoming great is actually to continuously break through your own potential. There is a saying, if you don’t work hard and you don’t push yourself, you may not even know how great you are. It is strongly emphasized that there is a lot of potential hidden in human beings. When we tap this potential through our own struggle and hard work, it is actually a reshaping of our self-worth, and it also gives us happiness and joy, because you are renewed I found myself, I knew myself.

To become more powerful, which means that we need to continue to learn and improve, learn to be in real life, accept the difficulties and pains in life, face our own shortcomings, challenge our life's possibilities, accept failures, and see him To be the course that we must go through to challenge our potential and reshape ourselves.

Believe that life is like this. As you become more and more powerful, you will find that the difficulties in the past are actually due to our inner fears. Once your realm and level are higher, you will find that there is confusion in life. It's not as difficult as you think, and things that once seemed complicated and unbelievable will become simpler, and you can also be spoiled, and this is the biggest reward for us becoming great.
