You can learn how to get rid of any negative qualities you may have. These are primarily habits, and they can be changed if you make the necessary effort.
Never call attention to your negative qualities. That is usually the first step in making excuses for your behavior. Don’t tell others about your shortcomings—be honest with yourself instead. Then go to work and make changes.
If, for example, you believe yourself to be dull and uninteresting, ask why. Perhaps you have neglected to read and keep up with new thoughts and ideas. Start on a daily program of reading and stick with it.
If you are timid, start taking the initiative when you interact with others. Put them at ease. Give out of the loving spirit that is within you.
If you find that you don’t successfully complete your work, release the belief in failure. Plan for success and you’ll get it. Establish goals and start toward them. Substitute achievement for failure.
Negative qualities can be changed once you admit to yourself that they exist. Your personality is the outpicturing of your consciousness—and you can change your consciousness. You can make it positive and good.
