People Really Can Change (Including You)
You may have noticed that I often write about self-improvement topics. I’m kind of a self-improvement junkie. I’ve read many self-help books, and I find psychology fascinating. (I’m currently reading a new book called The Craving Mind by Judson Brewer – you should check it out.)
Some folks take a cynical view of self-help books, and of their fellow humans. How many times have you heard phrases like “once a ______, always a ______”? When I encounter someone I haven’t seen in years, I sometimes fall into the trap of judging them based on things they said and did long ago without getting to know the person they are today. I’m working to correct this thought process, because I certainly wouldn’t want everyone judging me based on the way I behaved as a teenager or college student.
