Keys
to Successful Living
Part 3

we should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting steps without any reservations. Thus there are three in performing an action: first, forming an opinion within ourselves;, second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion in action.
Understanding habit patterns
the main thing that one should learn in life – and it’s not taught in home or in 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 conscious aware of everything action we preform and realize that our action 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. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about a person. Laughter, for example, cannot be analyzed behaviorally. If I were to laugh, you might also laugh with me simply because I was laughing but without understanding why I was laughing. Your laughter is out of sheer reaction.
