Many people believe that all the character traits are innate. For example, one can consider shy, introverted, reserved, more suited to reflection and introspection to social life, unwilling to perform manual tasks and more likely to study. And we are deeply convinced to be like that.
However, this way of being leads to suffering perchés felt as a limit: he feels a strong need to deal with others, to socialize and do all sorts of things which are not due to limitations and fears that block us. And when we try to change, to be different, there inevitably comes up against these limits and there is more to repeat phrases like " have done so", " are born shy and introverted and I can not do anything about " " a sheep will never become a lion "and so on ...
these kinds of conditions are a consequence of the type of education we have received and the sociocultural system in which we grew up.
course, if the early childhood ringing in your ears to the voice of a parent repeats " Francis is a good kid and student and does not come out until they have finished their homework " or " Beware of people out there, the world is full of dangers ", or a teacher who tells you" You're a boy too shy ... "or you find yourself with some friends at school who never misses an opportunity to ridicule ... Well, one way or another all of these experiences will shape you . Nor is it said that "subject to this kind of stress" will automatically become a shy and introverted person, maybe you can develop aggression. What is certain is that the kind of experience will have an effect in the development of your personality . In other words I want to show is that what we are today is not due to a series of written information in our DNA. What we are is the result of conditioning, lessons and education that we received over the years and we have revised our brains . The formation of an individual of many factors: parents, teachers, friends, media. Lots of information that are stored and processed by the individual.
If you have an infant delivered to a community of Eskimos, today you would be completely different from what you are.
Then we begin to consider our character, our limitations, our fears, our values \u200b\u200band our virtues not as something that is written in our genes, but as an installed program in our brains . A program that has been codified over the years, from our childhood, and which took root in us.
Think like a personal computer: the brain is the hardware, the physical part you can touch. The way we behave, what we are, is the software installed in our brains.
I have good reason to believe that the "Budget" hardware of each of us is basically the same: there is no reason to believe that a person is genetically more intelligent than another or that it "features brain" best. The difference in all cases makes the software installed in the brain.
The wonderful news is that, as happens with computers, any software installed, you can uninstall , and we can put in place a better one, whether we like it more and make us feel better.
started now to reflect on this concept and to get rid of the belief that "you're so because you were born and thus can not do anything about it. "Every aspect of yourself that you do not like, can be changed .
And I'll tell you that it is not that difficult and it does not take too long either.
