Just take some time to read and re-read the advice you were given until you really understand it as much as you can. Then start moving to make your change.
Self analysis and introspection is very valuable. You need to come to understand your own actions and choices as they really are, instead of acting on autopilot and assuming you know what they are. This usually leads to some somewhat painful realizations about yourself, which will lead you to make some equally challenging decisions and changes, which will result in you outgrowing the negative behavior patterns. That's how it happened for me.
Ok, will do. I appreciate the help. In fact, I was thinking about some stuff you said in regards to some sales calls I made yesterday and thought "why not assume the best in people?"
That really helped me see that I often paint situations with a negative brush for seemingly no reason at all.
Also, if you can recognize your own ignorance and assume that your conclusions are based on ignorance, you can start creatively looking for alternative beliefs to apply to your current situation.
