Keys
to successful living part 3
We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then
we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting
without any reservations. Thus there are three steps in performing an action:
first, forming an opinion within others; 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 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 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 our thoughts. Without thought there can be 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.
