Anyone Can Change

Futurist Chet W. Sisk

Anyone can change, even you. Futurist, Chet W. Sisk. As a futurist, my job is to help people wrap their arms around change and see it as a friend. A new study released by the University of Illinois Champaign Urbana says our personalities can change over time. Conventional wisdom used to suggest that we were kind of locked into these personality types that guided our lives.

But, this new report says a number of events over our lifetime can morph us and make us into different beings. The study, conducted with almost 5, 000 participants over a 40-month period, shows that we are often shaped by many life major events, such as the birth of a child or a marriage, and By smaller events, like someone doing something nice to you, or you develop a friendship with someone not like you.

According to scientists, these small e events accumulate and can alter personality trajectories. This study provides a very optimistic view of the road ahead for those who want to become better in life. Even more, it may tell a hopeful story of how societies can actually change since societies are a collection of people going through changes.

Whatever the case, we can rest assured that we have the power and ability to transform. All we have to do is pay attention.
