We absorb a lot of information as we grow up and encounter new surroundings, situations, and individuals. Each of these experiences has an impression on us that alters how we think and act, which is why our personalities are heavily derived from our journey through life. But are there parts of us based solely on biology?
One thing I have discovered is that the more you know about yourself the more yourself esteem rises. You can no longer be bullied because of your flaws since you are aware of them. The more you work on your weakenesses the more productive you become to achieve your purpose.

What Is a Temperament?
A person’s temperament is formed as an infant and never changes. It simply develops over time. Studies have shown that temperament remains constant and serves as a means to help you determine how you will react to situations. It’s a way to recognize consistent personality traits.
One study indicated that temperament is determined by brain-stem processes. Each person has a unique brain stem that cannot change over the course of their life. More information will be provided about this as we look into the various temperaments you may hold.
Can Your Temperament Be Altered?
If you have a generally negative outlook, you have a lot of company. While your underlying temperament may be a permanent aspect of who you are, especially as you get older and continue building your experience based on how you see the world, you can certainly heal some of the ways that you feel and change your outlook on life.
