self knowledge (47)
rebel2: I think the first thing one has to do is embrace what is positive about oneself.
By feeling positive about oneself,you can make strides towards any changes you wish to make with confidence.
If a person dwells on there negative points,then as they strive to improve,the danger is that during the proccess they will continuously have self doubt about themselves,there abilities,and take the easy way out,and return to what they find comfortable.

ah yes the "comfort zone" it's not easily abandoned. we have to be willing to do so on occasion, but those should be personal rather than dictated choices. I think change is qualitatively different when we initiate it ourselves rather than being forced into it------ This thread is Archived ------
janie1305: Changing work skills is not really so difficult. We must adapt to changes throughout our working lives otherwise we remain dinosaurs! I constantly update my teaching skills, it's an ongoing process. I maintain my skills by taking exams, attending courses etc. However, it's much more difficult in my opinion to change one's day to day life. We tend to get set in our ways the older we get, and that's a huge mistake which I'm trying to work on and avoid.
great post janie...I agree...part of change can be very much to avoid growing stale...and to avoid becoming to set in ones ways....that's not a problem I have actaully I could use a little "sameness" for awhile lolbut great thoughts! I like what you are saying here!

Obstinance_Works: You really can't find evidence to support anything - we went through the enlightenment to defeat this way of thinking - but yes you can warp statistics by broadening them to disguise other factors. Which is why I like to keep mine very specific: e.g. if a validated study says that Wives are divorcing their Husbands more when their Husbands share the housework then it's becasue Wives are divorcing their Husbands more when they share the housework.
And yes, what I mean by criticising yourself and the world is because you need to do the latter to figure what you want from the world and the former to get what you want from the world. But I'd still say that you do need to change. We're changing all the time. Nobody is born with experience, and experience is change.

Perhaps you should try a little introspection about your apparent psychological block with the difference between 'cause' and 'correlation'?
