Good skill: The confidence to say anything.

Bad skill: The confidence to say anything.

This is fantastic. I had previously heard "You identify yourself by your intent. Others identify you by your actions."

This takes it a step further though, and actually gives a concrete example of action vs intent in use.

Thank you, you have permanently affected my life.

I seem to understand more every day, so I will give today's insight.

By reflecting on past events where we made mistakes, we can better ingrain the desired course of action. Thus, by ruminating over bad habits, we can develop new habits more quickly.

This is purely speculation on my part, and I have no studies outside of my own life to back this up.
