making sure that one's daily reality contains sufficient health pleasant events tokeep one's enthusiasm for life within a healthy range, and using available rewardsto influence the continuous shaping of oneself in the directions one has chosen.HMOR.July2005.Muñoz.doc 60
Chapter 6A Probabilistic ApproachJust as the mountains are constantly being carved by the wind, the rain, andby the movements of the landmasses of the earth, so is each of us constantlyshaped by the daily events that affect us. For both, change can be very sudden.The impact of a new idea can cause a major change in a person's life overnight.The impact of a major loss can, at least temporarily, produce massive changes inour ability to perform even well worn routines. But, for the most part, change is sogradual that it is hard to notice it. It jumps out at us when we meet a friend wehave not seen for some time. At times like this, we wonder how much we havechanged ourselves. But then we generally go on with our daily routines, usuallyoblivious to how life is constantly sculpting us.The message of this book is that we can have a hand on sculpting our reality.We can have a hand in sculpting ourselves. Because we are always changing, wehave little choice regarding whether to change or not. By becoming aware of howwe are changing, and what produces change in ourselves, we do have some choicein the direction of change.HMOR.July2005.Muñoz.doc 61
