"Born again in choices, not just in fate. Adversity shaped me — and now I create."

We like to think personality is set in stone — written in our DNA, fixed by fate. But psychologist Jonathan Haidt offers a deeper view: that personality has three layers.

Our base traits (the Big Five) — largely inherited.

Our adaptive patterns — how we respond to life.

The story we tell about who we are.

Only the first is fixed. The second and third? That’s where growth lives — especially when adversity hits.

This track is about those moments — when life breaks your routine, your identity, and your illusions. When the narrative fractures. When the only way forward is through the fire — and what emerges is someone wiser, deeper, more intentional.

You can’t rewrite your genetics. But you can rewrite your story. And sometimes, the crash is the catalyst.
