Quick Learner, my guess is that you chose "cool" for your "act" because it was the closest to your natural persona and comfort zone. You could have chosen anything (gregarious,etc) but you chose "cool". Sounds to me that you have a pretty good idea of what you want yourself to be more like but haven't as yet, developed the self-image/comfort zone to support it. Decide what you would LIKE yourself to be more of and what you would like to have less of (personality/habits, etc.) in your life. Subtract what you DON'T want and add what you DO want---and all the while, BUILD ON your self-esteem and self-image. Those last two are absolutely mandatory for any real and lasting success! --- Mike
