Keys to Successful
Living
Part 3
(Anon)
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 to performing an action: first, forming an opinion within
ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our
opinion in action.
Understand
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 no action. Habit patterns and thoughts
are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called
behaviorism that is based on this concept.
