NOTE

The Power of Memory in Shaping Self-Perception

Our understanding of ourselves is shaped by selective memory which is reconstructed in the form of stories. Memories and imagination can influence our behavior and how we view ourselves. The memories we choose to remember and the stories we tell about ourselves define our self-perception and can impact our future behavior. Our sense of self is dynamic, and our access to specific memories can shape different aspects of who we are. Memories should be seen as a resource, guiding us as a co-pilot rather than letting them drive our actions.
