Keys to successful living

Part 3

(Anon)

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express 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 action.

Understanding habit patterns

The main thing that one should learn in life—

And it is not taught in home or in the schools—is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyses our personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every action we perform and realize that our actions are virtually out thoughts. Without thought there can be no action. Habit patterns and thoughts are reveled thought behavior. There is a branch of physiology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about person laughter, for example cannot be analyzed behaviorally. If I were to laugh, you might also laugh with me simply because I was laughing.
