Keys to successful living

Part 3

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should espresso ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting steps without any reservations. Thus there are three in performing an action: First, forming an opinion within ourselves: second, expressing our opinion to others, and third, executing our opinion in an action

Understanding habit patterns 

The main thing that one should learn in life—and is not taught in the home or in the schools—is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habits patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every action that we perform and realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without though there can be no action. Habit patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about a person.
