I'm sure that like most people I'm different people from minute to minute. Well, maybe that's a little too frequent... Maybe hour to hour? I just hope I'm aware enough through those 'characters' to recognize those which are not serving myself, or others, very well, and switch to a better one.
Sometimes I'm wearing my Easter Island face (and personality...), hopefully not for too long, before shedding it for the fun-loving, compassionate one.
It's hard to say how much control we have over these 'characters' but becoming aware of the multitude is probably good. And also seeing oneself with more fluidity also seems useful.
I have chosen to strive to achieve five ideals each day...listen, empathize, be generous, authentic and learn continuously. Coincidentally, the five ideals spell LEGAL which was not intentional. The five words came to me while in a sleep/awakeness state one evening a couple of months ago.
I do find it helps me to keep centered on what's important to me. It's easy to sometimes let the crap from the gas lighters take hold. I never lose hope.
Thanks, Neill

I know which one gets me further in the world...

Sounds excellent. Do you notice a positive change in yourself yet?
