Developmental Stages
What’s In
Your thoughts strongly influence the way you feel. Some events may serve as
a trigger, but the event aren’t what directly lead to your disappointment. It’s the
meaning that certain events hold for you, and your thoughts reflect that meaning. In
other words, our feelings and emotions are the straight result of the way we think
about or interpret situations.
Directions. Read the short situation below, then fill in the blanks inside the
circle the possible emotions felt by the teenage girl. Choose your answer from
the choices given after the situation. Copy the diagram in your journal
notebook.
“A teenage girl is walking down the lobby in school when she notices a
group of girls looking at her and start laughing. She is very upset that they are
making fun of her, she starts to feel tears in her eyes and runs away. “

What is it
11 15
Most of us are skilled discouragers. We have learned how to bribe,
reward and, when that fails, to punish, criticize, nag, threaten and emotionally
withdraw. We do this as an attempt to control those we love,
bolstered by the mistaken belief that we are responsible for the
behavior of everyone around us, especially our spouses and children.
These attempts to control behavior create atmospheres of tension and conflict
in many houses.
Most commonly, we discourage in five general ways:
• We set standards that are too high for others to meet because we are
overly ambitious.
• We focus on mistakes as a way to motivate change or improved
behavior.
• We make constant comparisons (self to others, siblings to one another).
• We automatically give a negative spin to the actions of others.
• We dominate others by being overly helpful, implying that they are
unable to do it as well.
What’s More
BEING HAPPY
12 16
You may have defects, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but do
not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can
prevent it from going into decadence. There are many that need you, admire
you and love you.
I would like to remind you that being happy is not having a sky
without storms, or roads without accidents, or work without fatigue, or
relationships without disappointments.
Being happy is finding strength in forgiveness, hope in one’s battles,
security at the stage of fear, love in disagreements.
Being happy is not only to treasure the smile, but that you also reflect on
the sadness. It is not just commemorating the event, but also learning lessons
in failures. It is not just having joy with the applause, but also having joy in
anonymity.
Being happy is to recognize that it is worthwhile to live, despite all
the challenges, misunderstandings and times of crises.
Being happy is not inevitable fate, but a victory for those who can
travel towards it with your own being.
Being happy is to stop being a victim of problems but become an
actor in history itself. It is not only to cross the deserts outside of ourselves,
but still more, to be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul. It is to
thank God every morning for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of one's feelings. It is to know how to talk
about ourselves. It is to bear with courage when hearing a "no". It is to have
the security to receive criticism, even if is unfair. It is to kiss the children,
pamper the parents, and have poetic moments with friends, even if they have
hurt us.
Being happy means allowing the free, happy and simple child inside
each of us to live; having the maturity to say, "I was wrong"; having the
audacity to say, "forgive me". It is to have sensitivity in expressing, "I need
you"; to have the ability of saying, "I love you." So that your life becomes a
garden full of opportunities for being happy…
In your springtime, may you become a lover of joy? In your winter, may
you become a friend of wisdom? And when you go wrong along the way, you
start all over again. Thus, you will be more passionate about life. And you will
find that happiness is not about having a perfect life, but about using tears to
water tolerance, losses refine patience, failures carve serenity, pain to
lapidate pleasure, obstacles to open the windows of intelligence.
Never give up... Never give up on the people you love. Never give up
from being happy because life is an incredible show. And you are a special
human being!
