People never change… or do they?
Have you ever heard the expression (or said it yourself) ‘People never change.’? Do you really believe that? We usually say that after someone lets us down in the same way they have multiple times before. But that doesn’t make it is true.
People would more quickly call me a pessimist than an optimist but on this subject I am hopelessly optimistic and with good cause. I could drag this list out but there are only three reasons that really matter
- I have experienced it
- I have seen it happen in others
- Science proves it
My Experience
If there is single positive thought in my brain it is because I trained it to be in there. By nature, I am negative… even hopeless
My Observations
The world around us is constantly changing. If we can’t see it, that is probably because we are stuck, not because it is.
The Data
Personality traits …can change, especially if you catch people at the right age and exert sustained effort.
