actions can change your thinking

I recently read about a study that said changing your behavior can lead to changes in your mindset.  "Changes in behavior create changes in mindset. If you act powerfully, you will begin to think powerfully. Cuddy theorizes that some people are a bit more assertive then others, naturally, but by behaving in assertive ways and adopted assertive poses, they magnify their advantages."

But if you act more powerfully, it's because you want to be more powerful and want others to perceive you as more powerful.  So I guess we should start acting like the people we want to be, and then we will become that person.  It seems simple enough.

I think our personalities are more malleable than we think they are.
