A geopolitical region is made up of constituents, who may vote for a political representative. A sentence is divided into its constituent words and phrases. A motor is made up of its constituent parts.

The original Latin essentially gave us ‘constitution’ from the idea of what makes up something, how it is set up or established; how it is made to stand.

In a very real, etymological way, your constitution is what makes you YOU. What makes you tick. Who you are where it counts.
Should we change our constitution?

Well, first impulse might be to say, “If we don’t like what we are, or want to improve ourselves, then sure, we should change.”

I believe, however, that if we don’t like who we are, it’s because we believe we could or should or were meant to be something else. Something better.

By definition, then, we aren’t aiming to change our constitution, rather get back to our constitution!

We have a constitution, but we’ve built something or become something that is not true to who we really are. We have become unconstitutional!

It behooves us to discover our true constitution: what we are truly made of and embody. This is the true self as we were created.

Once we know our true ingredients, talents, fears, and aspirations, we can build something beautiful. That is Personal Development.

It’s not Rocket Science.
