Ever been to boot camp?

Basic Training, based on the branch you join lasts quite a bit longer than one night. And, even with basic training completed, many of the people who go to it return to thier old habbits rather quickly.

Are people capable of changing overnight? Of course, since the crux and whole of who we all are is in our minds. Change your mind, change YOU.

Sounds simple, doesn't it?

When your brain has an epiphany (or we can call it a "come to Jesus" moment) and it all clicks, yes, it's just that simple. And yet some search for that very understanding for years. Search and never find.

What makes people change? I don't know, if I did I'd be a multimillionaire. I know I have changed. I know anyone taking bets about how I would turn out in my infancy would have lost a lot of money by now. Predictions about human psychology are hard to make.

I know for a fact for everyone reading this: Everything single thing you think about yourself and what you can do you can change, all you have to do it think so. That's it, that's all you need.

If you think you can change how your mind thinks about who you are, you will. And if you think you can't, you never will.

The power of the human mind is infinite. You just have to get to a place where you realize this is so.

I personally think that depending on what happened in said night and how long the night was that they can.

I think that a lot about a person can change rather quickly but as someone else said, the core of who they are........very very unlikely.

It's easy to change overnight. What is hard is not changing back the following afternoon.
