Patient: I have recently researched some information on the Internet and found that for a family like mine, it is inevitable that I am capricious, thoughtful and timid. Can I still reshape my personality and face my early childhood misfortunes so that I can make positive decisions in the future? Doctor: It’s true that childhood experiences have a huge impact on a person’s character and on their life. But as an adult there seems to be no point in chasing the past. Humanism believes that every person has the potential for self-improvement and development. Therefore all have the potential to change themselves. But often it is the influence of one’s own knowledge structure and past psychological characteristics that prevents one from getting out of the psychological swamp. There is a saying you should know: sow a concept, reap a behavior, sow a behavior to reap a habit, sow a habit to change a character, sow a habit to reap a fate. The so-called character is habitual behavior. Start with changing the concept and changing the understanding. So the first thing is to have a reasonable and correct concept and understanding. But awareness alone is not enough, what is important is active action. The best learning is the learning of changing behavior. “I have studied the six scriptures, but only by doing so can I truly change a person. The most important thing here is action. It is the act of changing past habits. This is the only way to truly change oneself.
