Personality And How You Got It

PERSONALITY IS HOW YOU ACT

Personality: How you think, feel, and act starts to take on its shape and form in the womb of the Mother; the brain and the mind never do “nothing.” What is going on outside and how the baby lives inside the mother’s womb has much to do with personality dynamics and how they are formed. You may have heard differently, but it only makes sense that from the time of conception, the new life growing inside the body of its Mother will be so affected by how she lives her life.

At the very moment of birth—even well before—the child releases its budding personality onto the world. It is now where it starts to take on shape, and it all begins to flourish for a lifetime of growth. And just think, the beginning was in the cushioned walls of the Mother’s womb. Indeed, how you think, feel, and act contributes significantly to what is seen when others see you; however, it is not the Self. These are things that make up our personality. It is the way you show the world who you think you are. In other words, what you think about yourself, though what you think when you think about yourself, is not always true.

Mr. Personality

A person’s personality comes down to how you act and may change as you change how you think, but it is not “the Self.” The Self will not change. It is your core, your essence that was created for you. The Self is your own, given to each of us, but yours is no different from mine or any other person’s. Though, each one is our own. Living our lives is what makes the difference. The Self is the foundation from where we grow, though it is not the foundation from where we build our lives. It is our innermost part, and it does not change shape. It cannot be added to, nor can a part be taken away.

Your Self My Self Her Self Him Self

Life evolves, but the Self does not change; it does not shrink, it does not grow. It can be smothered. Then, of course, you will not be able to express yourself. The way we think is what smothers the Self. It will not let the real you surface. The self is there for all of us to be—the Creator put it there. It is not about how we act. That has more to do with our personality.

Unlike the Self, personality is a group of character traits that help define who we are. This grouping is the most affected by the seeds of doubt. Doubt is the root cause of disordered thinking. Our thoughts, feelings, and how we act change, but we do not. Of course, that is if there is no conflict, which would be with the Self. One of the ways that the things we believe in are shown is through our character. It is how others view us, and it is the part of us that tells what we think about ourselves. It will vary at times, though; it will only be the real you when it matches your Self.

We are born with a map of who we are. It makes up the person that is you. The person we were meant to be. It is the core of the human being and does not change. As with all things, our physical side changes with time. Our genes, of course, determine how we will look and do not change. Unfortunately, for far too many, a chemical imbalance is what you get when the genes are not as they should be. Therefore, steps must be taken to make up for the imbalance of chemicals in the brain. We have no say in this. It is part of our creation. We do have a say in what we create—as our parents did. We are the product of their decision-making, for better or worse.

One of life’s most critical decisions is whom you choose to mate (have a child) with.

Some will say a person has changed and does not act the same. They may have changed how they act, though they are not different. Not a thing has changed about who they are. They are still who they have always been. What has changed is how the person thinks, feels, and acts. The core of their being, the soul, has not changed. You cannot sell it, and you do not lose it. It is the real you.

You can run, though you can never hide from your Self.

You cannot be who you are not and will tire out trying. Yet, many do try. Disordered thinking is what keeps you from being the real you. It keeps your Self from shining through. This creates an image that is not who you are.

I am the one who I was looking for. Not the one you thought you knew.
