Your personality will remain the same...as long as you allow it to. Or, perhaps your personality will struggle with age or sour with age if you ignore it. Only with conscious thought and effort will your personality improve.

Henry Ford said something like, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you are right."

His logic applies to personality.

"If you think you can change your personality or you think you can't change your personality, you are right."

So what do you choose to think?

And, do you intend to share your thoughts with others?

If so, which thought [the can thought or the can't thought] will provide them the most value?

And, which thought will provide you the most value?

If you are pleased with your personality, you are standing on solid ground.

If others are pleased by your personality, you are standing on higher ground.

Heads don't fare well when you beat it against walls.

If you saw others beating their heads against walls, would you join them?

Walls versus Heads...the smart money is on Walls.

...all of this in support of changing for the better.

At a recent roundtable, the self-discovery question was asked, "If you could make a 30 second speech to the entire world, what would you say?"

The following popped into my mind...

Choose Yourself Wisely: cut yourself more slack and provide yourself much more support; emulate heroes; set then work at strings of small goals; embrace life-long learning...and change your character for the better.

Some argue we have no choice, "We are what we are". We cannot change!

The 2-dimensional hero Popeye, for example, embraced that sort of thinking. He was known to repeat, "I am what I am".

We must help others understand they have the ability to self-improve.
