Personality

Personality- “the dynamic character that constitutes and animates the individual person and makes his/her experience of life unique”
American College Dictionary

Professor Hawkins wrote this on the board today, and it's kept me thinking:

We are dynamic, animated, and unique individuals.

Each of us experience life in our own ways, from the material world to all possibility and the subtle nuance that brings it meaning.

Personality is a reflection of who we are and how we interact with our world. So why not keep an upbeat spin on things? Shape and develop your personality and world outlook as you want to be-- self-confidence is reaffirming and contagious.

"No amount of outside support can substitute for a quiet but determined passion for living life, every moment of it, as if it really mattered, knowing how easy it is to miss large swaths of it to unconsciousness and automaticity and to our deep conditioning. Practice mindfulness as if your life depended on it-- it does." Arriving at Your Own Door, 61.
