Uman hilabtonon man sija? This thought often comes to mind as you notice that there are persons who ENJOY minding others’ business. As observant as we can be, it often dawn on us that their “businesses” are more foul and vile as those they gloat on.
Some theories from a multitude of literature are published. One is this: People don’t mind their own business because they honestly don’t know what else to do with their time. They are so bored with themselves and their lives that they’re looking for ways to bring some excitement and exhilaration into theirs. And unfortunately for those around them, interfering in the life and affairs of others helps them forget how bored they truly are (Saviuc, 2018).
This could be alarming since people who do not know how to manage their resources (like time) will lead to become unsuccessful ones. Management of the things in the mind is also another thing to consider hence, the alarming rate of people who are edging towards mental illness is escalating. There is really a need for the individual to check and revisit the things s/he is doing to be able to monitor personal well-being. One effective thing to do is list down what one feels and evaluates them.
Paul (2019) said: People who don’t mind their own business are people who don’t believe in the concept that everybody is allowed to make their own choices and that the way they choose to live their life is by no means affecting anyone’s life. Every choice has a consequence and all individuals have to face them on a personal or private level.
People often have hidden insecurities. They think that they need to do something or say something so that they feel significant and find themselves worthy to be praised. They constantly complain that things are not good enough or according to their set standards.
People who intrude without due cause or permission are interlopers. If the purpose of the intrusion was to deliberately interfere, then they could also be called kibitzers. Kibitzer" is usually applied to a person who watches other people playing a game (usually cards, but could be chess, etc.) and offers unwanted advice. It's distracting and annoying, but a kibitzer would generally not interrupt the actual game.
There is a need for us to mind our own business. Let us monitor our own growth and accumulate good things for the greater good. Nothing beats a person who can improve one’s self to become an instrument of change for the betterment of the ecology s/he belongs.
We learn by doing, trying, and facing the consequences of our own actions. When you meddle in other people’s business, you are involving yourself in a situation where the outcome doesn’t fall on you. If you don’t have to face the consequences of your advice, how can you ever know if it was good or not? How can you ever realize what you may have gotten wrong? Minding your own business is the best way to grow in ways that will actually benefit you, because the lessons you learn will come from real-life application (Hadeed, 2020).
Personal growth is a continuous process. You will have to develop a daily habit to learn new things. Your learning experiences and learning desires are important to ensure an optimal result. Personal development is an effort to improve your skill and thought as well as to make your struggles easier with a better understanding.
Personal improvement, according to Petrie (2018) cannot be achieved in a single day. You will have to make the process gradual by enriching your thoughts. It is possible when you will try to come out of your comfort zone. There are many ways to ensure your growth. You can use social media, attend conferences and listen to podcasts to know more about your profession, business or personal growth.
Let others do their things. Keep busy. Aim for self-growth. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
