Patterns of Personal Change

People change. Through interaction, experience, and reflection we, as people, are never static and always influenced by a complex set of forces. Change is natural. In fact, everything that has led us to our present state is all memory at this point, and subject to change and distortion. We have to embrace our limitations, understand that we are changing, and try to steer that process towards a better vision of ourselves.

Note to self: Balancing pride and humility is difficult. The ideal equilibrium varies from situation to situation. Deep consideration of our strengths and weaknesses, as well as strong relationships with people who will give us honest feedback, are the gauges that help us calibrate our egos.
