that each of us has a fixed personality is a myth. it is self-limiting and it denies us our power of continous creation. in our ongoing creation of who we are, nothing has a greater impact on that process than the choice we make between optimism and pesimism. there are no optimistic nor pessimistic personalities; there are only single, individual choices for optimistic or pessimistic thoughts. the choices we make for our thingking either motivate us or they do not. although clear visualization of a goal is a good first step. action is required.
