The only evidence of what one believes is their actions. How one acts, not what one says is the proof.
We rationalize our patterns of behavior to an absolutely insane degree. No matter how faulty, our character is ultimately all we know.

If only it were as easy to change a character by implanting a new belief. This is not possible. It cannot take root, unless acted upon.

One already posseses a character, owing to past choices, some in their control, some not. The course is set—to change it is the hardest.
-
What 99% do —and I include myself in that—is keep on the same course to avoid facing the real, horrible shortcomings of their character.

Because to face them means to take responsibility for them, and to see clearly and objectively how they determine your entire existence.
-
Regardless of whether one owns up to the facts about their life and character or not, they have a choice, and they are responsible.

Very few can change, and for those who do that there is no cookie cutter way or self-help manual. They're alone in battle with themselves.
-
At some point in everybody's life they have made a choice to avoid something. That something they avoid, will destroy them in the end.
-
If enough time passes in the avoidance paradigm and nothing is changed, it is constantly rationalized for and a character develops around it
-
At some point, it becomes so difficult to change that paradigm, that it can be said that it is indeed "too late". We all know this.
