Deep dives
Personality is not fixed and can be changed
Personality is not fixed and can be changed through evidence-based techniques. Personality has three components: the way we interpret information, the way we react to circumstances, and the way we behave. Different personalities will react differently to the same situation. For example, a narcissist may interpret a breakup as a personal attack and behave manipulatively. By understanding metacognition and meta-emotion, which involve the way we think about our thoughts and feel about our emotions, we can change our personality and transform our lives.
The importance of controlling conclusions and metacognition
Our personality and destiny are determined not by the circumstances we face, but by the conclusions we draw from them. We automatically form reflexive conclusions about ourselves based on events, which may not be objective or accurate. By observing and being careful about the conclusions we draw, we can shape our metacognition and meta-emotion. This is crucial as the way we interpret information, react to circumstances, and behave is influenced by our metacognition. By paying attention to our conclusions, we can change our personality and ultimately change our lives.
Shifting focus to internal change for a better life
Instead of trying to control external circumstances, we should focus on changing the way we interpret and react to life events. The tragedy of life is that we put significant energy into trying to fix things involving others, which are partially out of our control. Meanwhile, we neglect the conclusions we form about ourselves, allowing them to shape our personality and interactions. By understanding the significance of metacognition and meta-emotion, and practicing observation and careful conclusion-formation, we can forge a different destiny by becoming a different person. Changing our personality is possible and can lead to a more fulfilling life.
