According to some researchers, humans have a tendency to optimize their behavior and actions towards goals and outcomes that already are outdated and that don’t help themselves anymore. Whether it is focusing on earning more money when you have enough to last you a lifetime or chasing and seeking to impress people of the other sex once you are in a stable relationship, many of our behaviors are driven by priorities that were important in an earlier phase of our lives. Especially highly competitive, type-1 types have a tendency to instinctively engage in behaviors that have no benefit to them or the people around them. So, one thought to spend a bit of time on is whether your behaviors and actions are supporting the past you or the current you? And are these helping you become who you want to be?
