Human nature

Some might have a baseline melancholy nature, some ebullient, skeptical, optimistic, measured. Can’t do a whole lot about our baseline. We can choose when to lean into it and when to lean against it. Your baseline is perhaps your human nature – how you came out of the womb. Doesn’t mean it has to drive how you behave. You can build a second nature.

AND recognize that your human nature has big upsides. What is it about that default nature that gives you an edge, a different perspective, a deeper well to draw from? When do you want to celebrate and harness it? When do you want to lean against it? Get clarity, then start behaving in alignment with that clarity.
